Production, handled.

Production fails when decisions never settle.

Platen closes production loops so decisions settle and work can move forward.

Why custom orders quietly break production

Custom work rarely collapses all at once. It erodes through small reopenings and unclear handoffs.

Rework and resizing
Artwork or specifications change midstream.
Reopened orders
Completed work gets pulled back into production.
Ambiguous specifications
No final dimensions, bleed, or confirmation.
Unsettled print-ready files
Production starts without a locked handoff.

What Platen handles

Platen prepares and manages print-ready files so production starts from a settled, final state.

  • Prepares print-ready files from approved artwork
  • Locks final dimensions and specifications
  • Keeps completed orders from reopening
  • Creates a clear, final handoff into printing
Scope boundary

Platen does not create or revise creative work.

It begins where decisions end.

Early feedback
"We used to lose half a day every time an order got reopened. Now everything locks when it's supposed to."

Help shape production clarity

Platen is in active development and research.

We're speaking with people who work inside custom production workflows—especially where creative inputs must become fixed, print-ready outputs.

If you've dealt with rework loops, ambiguous specs, or orders reopening late in the process, we'd value your perspective.

Production doesn't need to be exciting.
It needs to be finished.
