How it works

Submit. Approve.
It ships.

The process is intentionally simple. No back-and-forth, no mystery timelines, no chasing updates. Everything runs through Akari Live.

Let's talk
STEP 01

Submit your job

Log into Akari Live -- your online account where every job, order, and inventory count lives -- select your service, upload your artwork, and enter your specs. Takes minutes. No email required to get started.

STEP 02

We review your artwork

Every file is checked against Health Canada plain packaging requirements before it goes to press. If anything needs attention, we flag it before it costs you a batch.

STEP 03

You approve

Review and approve directly in Akari Live. One click and production starts. No re-confirmation calls, no email chains.

STEP 04

It ships

You get a notification when your order ships. Track it in Akari Live. Your inventory updates automatically when stock arrives.

Processing begins from artwork approval. Turnaround varies by job type and volume -- we confirm timing when we talk.
