EskoArtwork

EskoArtwork was a global provider of software and hardware for packaging design, prepress, and production workflow. It offered integrated solutions to manage the entire packaging lifecycle from concept to finished product. The company was formed in 2005 through the merger of Esko Graphics and Artwork Systems, and was headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, with a worldwide network of sales and support offices.

In 2012, the company rebranded to Esko, aligning its brand with its product portfolio and corporate identity. Esko continued to develop and market a broad range of software, including design and prepress tools, color management, and workflow automation, as well as hardware for finishing and conversion. Notable software offerings spanned ArtPro and ArtPro+ for packaging prepress, PackEdge for prepress workflow, DeskPack plug-ins for desktop design integration, Automation Engine for automated workflow, Studio for 3D packaging, and ArtiosCAD for structural design. The company also provided digital finishing equipment under the Kongsberg brand, including cutting tables and related systems, and WebCenter for collaborative review and approval.

EskoArtwork served customers in the packaging, label, and corrugated sectors, supporting offset, flexo, and digital printing environments. It operated as part of a larger global enterprise and continued to expand its product ecosystem through development and strategic partnerships.
