Esko and GlobalVision have introduced Verify Comply, an AI-powered assistant designed to review packaging artwork. The tool is available through the Esko WebCenter platform or as a standalone solution to streamline compliance workflows.
Why it matters
The product aims to accelerate the packaging-to-market process while reducing manual review efforts. By automating these checks, the tool helps businesses mitigate the risk of product recalls caused by non-compliant packaging.
Verify Comply marks the first major integration following the 2026 acquisition of GlobalVision by Esko. Users can implement the tool by creating centralized digital rulebooks to automate the review of their packaging assets.
The players
Esko
Esko is a global provider of integrated software and hardware solutions for the packaging and label industry.
GlobalVision
GlobalVision is a software company specializing in automated quality control and proofreading solutions for packaging.
The details
Verify Comply utilizes AI to interpret content on packaging artwork, identifying potential issues by comparing files against specific regulatory requirements and brand standards. The system allows companies to maintain centralized rulebooks that codify their compliance standards for automated, consistent application across all designs.
Timeline
The Verify Comply product was officially introduced on October 21, 2026.
Market Landscape
This integration solidifies the Esko WebCenter platform as a comprehensive suite for packaging management following the acquisition of GlobalVision. By absorbing specialized quality control tech, Esko is positioning itself to dominate the automated compliance market against smaller, siloed point-solution competitors.
Manufacturers and brand owners can expect a faster path from design to the retail shelf due to reduced manual review bottlenecks. This automation may lower operating costs by catching compliance errors early in the production cycle before final printing occurs.
The takeaway
Companies looking to enhance accuracy should consider shifting toward centralized digital rulebooks to standardize their compliance processes. Automating routine inspections allows human teams to focus on complex design challenges rather than manual proofreading.
