Artwork Automation

Transforming Life Sciences Artwork and Labelling Creation

At Perigord, automation is embedded into the way regulated artwork is created, managed, and updated across global portfolios.

Validated Automation for Life Sciences Artwork

Our automation framework combines structured content, validated workflows, and purpose-built technologies to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and minimise regulatory risk across packaging and labelling operations.

From Regulatory Content to Production-Ready Artwork

Using technologies such as GLAMS Automation Manager, iCarton and iLeaflet, we transform regulatory content into production-ready artwork with far greater speed and accuracy, enabling Life Sciences companies to manage complex product portfolios and global launches with confidence.

The Role of Automation in Global Artwork and Labelling Operations

Global product portfolios generate thousands of packaging updates each year. Changes driven by regulatory updates, market expansion, safety data, and lifecycle management must be implemented accurately and quickly.

Automation allows these updates to move from manual studio production to structured, repeatable workflows that reduce production time while maintaining compliance and design integrity.

Perigord's automation technologies integrate with existing content sources such as QRD templates, Word regulatory documents, structured databases and XML standards, enabling packaging artwork to be generated and updated in a controlled environment.

Key Automation Capabilities

Structured Content Processing

GLAMS Automation Manager can ingest both structured and unstructured regulatory content, including Word documents, QRD templates, XML, FHIR and metadata sources.

This content is organised and prepared for automated artwork production while maintaining regulatory traceability and control.

Automated Carton Creation

iCarton enables automated population of packaging artwork templates created in Adobe Illustrator.

The system connects structured regulatory content with predefined design templates, allowing carton artwork to be generated quickly and consistently while preserving approved layout structures and typography rules.

This approach significantly reduces repetitive production work while ensuring that packaging changes follow validated design frameworks.

Leaflet Automation

Patient information leaflets remain one of the most complex artwork formats due to the variability of regulatory content supplied in Word files.

iLeaflet is an InDesign extension developed by Perigord that automates the import and formatting of regulatory content, dramatically reducing the manual formatting process traditionally required to prepare leaflet artwork.

The result is faster leaflet production with greater consistency in style application, layout, and regulatory formatting.

Automation That Enables Scalable, Compliant Artwork

Automation is not simply about efficiency. In regulated environments it delivers four critical benefits.

Consistency

Automated templates ensure that typography, layout, and regulatory formatting remain compliant across global markets.

Speed

Artwork production time is significantly reduced, enabling faster response to regulatory updates and launch timelines.

Risk Reduction

By reducing manual intervention and repetitive formatting tasks, automation lowers the risk of production errors.

Scalability

Automation enables Life Sciences organisations to manage large and growing product portfolios, supporting thousands of artwork updates across markets without increasing operational complexity.

Supporting Global Launch Infrastructure

Automation technologies form a core part of Perigord's global artwork infrastructure.

By combining automation with validated workflows and global production teams, we help Life Sciences companies manage large product portfolios while maintaining the precision required for regulatory compliance.

This infrastructure supports:

  • High-volume artwork change management
  • Global product launches
  • Market expansion and localisation
  • Lifecycle management for commercial products

Continuous Innovation

Perigord continues to evolve its automation framework to support the changing needs of Life Sciences companies.

Current development areas include:

  • Expanded support for structured regulatory content formats
  • AI-assisted artwork production workflows
  • XML-based automated document generation
  • Greater configurability for packaging elements such as barcodes and variable data

These developments ensure that automation continues to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of Life Sciences artwork operations.
