AstraLabel SOLO — Artwork & Packaging Operations
Your artwork cycle is running on manual coordination across 46 markets. It doesn't have to.
AstraLabel SOLO eliminates the version drift, the market-by-market file management, and the last-minute print holds that define multi-market label programmes. One structured source of truth. Distributed automatically.

The operational reality
What multi-market label management actually looks like today — and what it costs.
- 01Version drift is not a risk — it is the default state. When label updates are distributed via email, shared drives, and market-by-market coordination, the version in production in Market A is rarely the same as in Market B. Artwork teams spend a significant share of their capacity managing version reconciliation rather than label creation.
- 02Every regulatory update triggers a cascade of manual work. A single change to approved label text — a new contraindication, a dosage update, a safety amendment — requires identifying every affected market, every affected SKU, every affected print file, and coordinating the update individually. Across 30+ markets, this is a multi-week exercise for a change that affects a single paragraph.
- 03Print holds caused by label version errors are supply chain events. When an artwork error discovered at the printer stops a production run, the cost is not just the rework. It is the supply disruption, the expedited logistics, and the QA escalation that follows. Most of these events trace back to version management failures that a single source of truth would have prevented.
How AstraLabel changes the operating model
Upload once. Every market gets the right version. Automatically.
AstraLabel SOLO is structured around a single source of truth model: one approved content record per product, distributed to all relevant markets simultaneously. When regulatory text changes, the update flows through the distribution layer — not through your artwork team's inbox.
Single source of truth
One GxP-validated content record per product. Every market draws from the same approved source. Version drift is structurally eliminated — not managed around.
Automatic distribution on update
When approved content changes, distribution to all 46+ market repositories is triggered automatically. No market-by-market coordination. No email chains. No manual file transfers.
QR code replaces the print file problem
GS1 Digital Link QR codes on physical packaging point to the always-current structured eLeaflet. The QR code on the box never changes — the content behind it is always the current approved version.
What your team stops doing
The capacity that gets freed up when version management is structural — not manual.
Stop: market-by-market file distribution
Individual label file management per market, per SKU, per regulatory update cycle. Replaced by a single structured distribution event triggered on content approval.
Stop: version reconciliation
Periodic audits to identify which markets are running which label version. Replaced by a single version record that is the authoritative state for every market simultaneously.
Stop: print hold escalations
Supply disruptions caused by artwork version errors reaching the printer. Reduced by eliminating the manual version management chain that produces those errors.
Stop: format compliance monitoring per market
Tracking national health authority format requirement changes, market by market. PLA manages the distribution infrastructure — including format compliance maintenance as national requirements evolve.
The compliance argument your QA team will make
GxP-validated. Audit-ready. Not another system to validate.
AstraLabel SOLO is a GxP-qualified, SDLC-ready platform maintained by PLA. Full validation documentation is provided. The platform is not another system your IT and QA teams need to validate from scratch — the validation package is part of the service.
For artwork operations teams who have fought to get regulatory approval for new tooling, this matters: AstraLabel arrives audit-ready.
