Printing and label production
Print workflow software for label and print production
Plan short runs, long runs and rush orders on the capacity your presses really have, with fewer setups and no paper job tickets.
24Flow is print workflow software, not an MIS. Your MIS or ERP keeps quoting and invoicing. 24Flow takes over from order acceptance to shipping, with a live plan for planners and a clear job list at every press.
Why print needs workflow software
Your production changes by the minute.
Your planning should keep up.
Many jobs, from short runs that take minutes to long runs that take days. Tight delivery windows. A setup change between almost every job. Planners end up firefighting instead of planning ahead.
In make-to-order production, an order spends most of its lead time waiting, not on the press. 24Flow connects production planning with what happens at the press, so jobs wait less and leave on time.

Common challenges
Short runs, tight deadlines, constant setups.
That is a lot to plan by hand.
The problems planners in label and print production run into every day.
A puzzle of short and long runs
Fit jobs of minutes and jobs of days around machines, priorities and promised dates, every single day.
Setup constraints
Every change of material, substrate or print type costs press time, and reordering jobs by hand costs the planner hours.
Rework and breakdowns
When steps are added or a press stops, the plan is corrected by hand and nobody can trace what changed.
Rush orders
An urgent job turns the day upside down when nobody can see the spare capacity or the real priorities.
Paper job tickets
Job tickets go out of date or get lost, and the real status of a job stays invisible.
What 24Flow offers
One plan for every press.
Live at every workstation.
24Flow answers each of those problems with the same live plan, from the planner’s screen to the press.
Plan in 24Planning and group orders by due date, setup similarity or machine, with bottlenecks in sight at once.
Cluster jobs by substrate, ink or die and plan each one on a press that can run it.
Add, skip or reassign operations mid-job and register incidents, so exceptions are tracked, not escalated.
Keep a capacity buffer for rush work, release it first from the Order Pool and show the new priority on the shop floor at once.
Give every press its live job list, instructions and status in the Team Cockpit, with every job traceable.

Questions from print producers
Print workflow software: common questions
Software that runs production in a print shop, from scheduling and machine assignment to the job on the press. It connects what planners decide with what operators run, so spreadsheets and paper job tickets are no longer needed.
An MIS handles the commercial side: quoting, estimating, job costing and invoicing. Print workflow software handles production: scheduling, shop floor execution and traceability. 24Flow is workflow software, not an MIS. It does not replace your MIS or ERP; it takes over from order acceptance to delivery. See all integrations

Yes. 24Flow groups jobs with similar setups, for example by substrate, ink or die. Rush orders fit in without breaking the rest of the plan, and operators see what to run next. Brady uses 24Flow for exactly this mix.
