Control your packaging artwork workflow end to end.

Cway brings structure, version control and audit-ready approvals to your packaging process, so brand, packaging and design teams, agencies and printers all work from the same source of truth. Around the platform, we build an ecosystem of apps, free tools and expert services that cover the tasks that happen before, around and after approval — from working with artwork on your desktop and creating barcodes to optimising your artwork process and preparing print-ready files. Every team gets exactly what it needs, at every stage from briefing to print.

Apps that extend Cway

 

Purpose-built apps that bring Cway closer to the way your team works.

 

Packaging Design File With Lightbox And Adobe Icons

Lightbox

A native desktop app for macOS and Windows. Check out Cway artwork, edit it in Illustrator or Photoshop, and check it back in. Lightbox handles file transfer, versioning and locking automatically.

  • No download-edit-upload loop. One click pulls files to your desktop and syncs changes back as a new version.
  • No conflicting edits. Checked-out artwork is locked in Cway, so the team always sees who’s working on it.
  • No new tools to learn. No plugin, no new interface. Designers keep working in the apps they already use.
