Brand POINT MANAGEMENT IN ASIA PACIFIC.
For more than 25 years, Schawk has operated in Asia Pacific – growing and
evolving and servicing top brands through our ever-deepening Asian roots and
the unique strengths of Schawk worldwide. Working for 75 regional clients via
27 Schawk offices globally, today we are both in Asia Pacific
and for Asia Pacific.
As a multi-office extension of Schawk’s Western operations, we enable 24/7
service for Schawk clients worldwide.

And as a genuinely local operation – staffed by native speakers and fluent


in the languages, customs and markets of the region – we bring Schawk’s
integrated services to local brands and to Western brands expanding in
this region.

In every case, we serve brands that seek consistent and compelling shopper
experiences at home, on the go, at the store and on the shelf.

Services unique to
the Asia Pacific region.
Because many global organisations print their packaging and
branded materials in Asia Pacific, Schawk has developed services
unique to the needs of brand owners in this market.

Print vendor qualification and management.


Schawk works directly with printers on behalf of brand owners to
achieve consistent, repeatable high-quality results when printing.
We have qualified many printers across the region and can help
manage the printing process for you. This can also help combat
brand counterfeiting.
Production super centre.
Our production super centre operates in shifts nearly non-stop
and is capable of handling significant volumes of work. So while
the Western world sleeps, the Eastern world is completing
production on art mechanicals, creating a more efficient workflow.
