What VectorBay does
Design software that knows what a press needs.

Illustrator doesn't know your bleed spec. Photoshop doesn't understand flexo distortion. VectorBay does — because it was built for print, not for advertising agencies.

Vector Editing
Full bezier path editing, boolean operations, and node-level control. Build label artwork, spot color separations, and die lines — all in one document with full layer support.
Spot Color Management
Native PMS library with CMYK bridge values. Assign spot colors to objects, see ink station counts, and preview how a metallic or white ink layer will print over your substrate.
Flexo Distortion Correction
Apply plate distortion correction for flexographic printing — longitudinal and lateral shrink compensation — so your artwork prints at the right dimensions when the plate wraps around the cylinder.
Press-Ready Export
Export to PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-4, EPS, TIFF, and native RIP formats. Set output profile per job type — your flexo shop and your Indigo get different export presets, already configured.
PPOS Work Order Link
Open a PPOS work order directly from VectorBay — substrate, dimensions, die size, color spec, and bleed requirements all pre-fill in your document. Build artwork for the right spec every time.
Barcode & Text Generator
Generate Code 128, QR, DataMatrix, UPC-A, and GS1 barcodes as live vector objects. Set variable text fields for batch output — one template, hundreds of SKU variations exported automatically.

Part of the PrePressOS Suite
Artwork and production, finally in the same system.

Right now, artwork lives in Illustrator, specs live in PPOS, and someone bridges them manually every time. VectorBay closes that gap — your work order pulls the spec, your artwork builds to it, and the file goes straight to preflight.

1
Open the work order in VectorBaySubstrate, dimensions, die, color spec, and bleed pre-fill in your document. No spec sheet to check.
2
Build the artworkWork to the exact spec from the WO — bleed guides, safe zone, and distortion correction all preset for your press.
3
Export and send to FlightDeckOne click sends the finished PDF to FlightDeck for preflight — bleed, resolution, color mode, and fonts all checked before it reaches the press.
Work Order Builder

FlightDeck
Export from VectorBay and preflight in FlightDeck — bleed, resolution, color mode, and font embedding all checked automatically.
ProofGate
Finished artwork goes straight to ProofGate for client-ready proof sheet generation — no file conversion, no email attachment hunting.
ImposeScope
