Automate Your Label Printing Workflow, From Artwork to Press-Ready PDF
Label printing automation starts with one connection: data to artwork. Once that link is established, job processing, imposition, preflight, and production can run without manual intervention at any volume, on any schedule.
Enfocus gives label printers a connected prepress workflow where Switch routes jobs, PitStop enforces PDF quality, and Griffin nests sheets intelligently. Every step happens automatically, according to your parameters.
“We took a three to four hour per label job, prepress time, down to about fifteen minutes, max.”

Automated Label Preflight & PDF Quality Control
Catch problems before they reach press. PitStop Pro and PitStop Server apply your production standards, automatically checking bleed on dielines, adding bleed around contours, creating cut lines, and renaming spot colors. Common issues like low resolution, wrong color mode, missing fonts, and incorrect cut lines are flagged and fixed without a single manual review.
The result: fewer customer round-trips, fewer plate remakes, and consistent label quality on every job.
Standardize Label Artwork Across Every Job
Every label job arrives differently. PitStop's Action Lists bring them all to the same standard, automatically normalizing incoming PDFs to match your press, substrate, and compliance requirements. Whether you're running flexo, digital, or offset label printing, your files leave prepress print-ready every time.
Label Imposition & AI-Powered Nesting
Griffin's AI-based nesting maximizes substrate usage across label jobs, automatically arranging and ganging artwork to minimize waste. Phoenix handles planning and imposition, integrating directly with your workflow so routing and ganging happen according to your parameters, not your schedule.
Whether you're running short-run digital labels or high-volume flexo, imposition happens in the background while your team works on what matters.
Simplify Label Production from MIS to Finished File
Connect your MIS system to Switch and every incoming order becomes a smart job, complete with its own job ticket that travels through the entire print shop. Status updates flow back to your MIS and web storefront in real time, so your team always knows where a job stands without chasing it down.
No manual handoffs. No lost job specs. No automation limits.
Eliminate Manual Steps in Label Job Processing
Switch routes every label job automatically based on the rules you define. Preflight, color conversion, imposition, nesting, output... each step triggers the next without a person in the loop. Your operators focus on exceptions, not on moving files.
Action Lists handle the repetitive work: checking specs, applying fixes, flagging anything that needs a human decision. The jobs that meet your standards sail through. The ones that don't get caught early.
Consistent Label Quality Without Manual Checking
Quality control shouldn't depend on who's working the shift. PitStop Server applies the same preflight rules to every job, every time. Your production standards are enforced automatically, not manually.
PitStop Server instantly detects issues like: resolution below threshold, embedded fonts missing, RGB colors in a CMYK job, cut lines outside spec, bleed violations on dielines and many more.
Fix them automatically where possible. Flag them for review where human judgment is needed.
Connect Your Label Workflow to 270+ Applications
Enfocus Switch integrates with more than 270 third-party applications through the Enfocus Appstore, including (but not limited to) MIS platforms, web-to-print storefronts, color management tools, and output devices. Connections to partners like InSoft Automation and Ultimate Technographics extend your workflow further.
If it exists in your print shop, Switch can connect to it.
