What it does

Step & Repeat takes one label or dieline PDF and steps it across the print web or around the cylinder, adding every mark a flexo press needs: tracker bars, registration targets, an ink slug and a colour control strip on each separation. It applies the cylinder distortion factor for you and centres each label in its repeat cell, splitting the gutter evenly as bleed. Built by a working platemaking studio rather than a software vendor, it runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install, so any packaging printer, anywhere, can lay up a press-ready stepped file in minutes instead of wrestling with imposition software.
