October 16, 2024 – Gent, Belgium – Hybrid BrandZ, a business unit of Hybrid Software, is excited to announce the release of Artflow 24.09, marking the official rebranding of its flagship product, Flow, to Artflow. This name change reflects Hybrid BrandZ’s ongoing commitment to innovation and positions Artflow as the premier artwork management solution for creative and marketing professionals within the brand owner or retailer space. This rebranding follows the recent integration within Hybrid Software, which has strengthened Hybrid BrandZ’s capabilities to support brands and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies with advanced tools for managing their own artwork.

Artflow 24.09 introduces powerful new features that boost the efficiency and flexibility of creative workflows. Automated 3D Packshot and Artwork Creation simplifies packaging visualization by allowing users to generate packshots from 3D files and apply artwork to IC3D wireframes.

Ultimately, it’s about effectively managing hundreds of projects across diverse suppliers and internal departments.”

The new name, Artflow, captures the essence of the software’s robust features that simplify artwork and packaging design workflows, from initial artwork briefing to final print. Artflow’s refined brand identity highlights its position as the go-to solution for those seeking efficiency, flexibility, and seamless integration throughout the production process. Simply put, “Streamline your creative process.”
