Prooflet visual guide

Enter your name, your company, and your email, choose a password, and accept the terms. We'll send you a verification email — click the link inside, then sign in. From here on, everything you approve is recorded under your name.

Click New Project. Pick your package first — a pouch, for example — then the product going inside it. These two answers decide which Health Canada rules apply, so Prooflet gets them out of the way up front. Add your product name, brand, and package size, and the editor opens with everything required already in place.

You're looking at your package at its real size. The cannabis symbol, the bilingual health warning, and spaces for the required product information are already placed — your job is filling in your product's details, adding your logo, and choosing your colours. The checklist on the right shows what's left; when every section says READY, you're done here.

One more choice while you're here: Production setup asks how the lot number and packaging date will get onto each package. If the answer is a small printed label, choose "Prooflet generates a batch label" and enter your label size and printer — you'll use this on packaging day (step 9).

Click 3D in the top bar to see your artwork on the actual package. Spin it around, flip through the health warnings, and try the different finishes — matte, soft-touch, gloss, satin — to see how it will look on a shelf.

Click Run check. Prooflet reviews your artwork against 70+ checks built on Health Canada's packaging rules and tells you what passed, what failed, and what needs a person's judgment. Every result points to the exact rule behind it — no guessing. Our example passes with zero fails and a few items for a person to confirm, like a pre-printed nutrition table. See what gets checked for the full list.

Click Compile & Export. Prooflet builds your complete export package: one layered artwork PDF for every rotating health warning (twelve for an edible), plus the supporting reports — built best-effort for your printer's own prepress review. While anything still needs review, your download is clearly watermarked as a proof — once everything is signed off, the same button gives you the final files.

The download has a folder for each warning version, a combined PDF for quick flipping, and an index. Here's what each file is for:

Before anything goes to production, someone on your team reviews and approves. Prooflet records exactly what was approved and by whom. If the artwork, the rules, or your target market changes afterwards, the old approval no longer applies and Prooflet asks for a fresh review — an old sign-off can never quietly cover new artwork.

When you're packaging, open Production, pick the product, and enter three things: the lot number, the date, and how many units you're running. Click Confirm production run — Prooflet locks in the approved artwork with those details and instantly generates your batch-label PDF. Print it, apply it, done. The run stays on your account's record for as long as your plan retains it: need more labels? A reprint gives you the identical file. Made a mistake? Void the run — it stays visible, clearly marked — and start a correction that points back to it.

Here's the actual label from the run above, at true size, with the trim and print details your label printer needs. The barcode carries your product code, the packaging date, and the lot number — and Prooflet scans its own barcode back to make sure it reads correctly. One design, printed 5,000 times. Print quality on your line stays yours to verify with your scanner — Prooflet never guesses at that.

The screenshots on this page show the real product. Prooflet checks your artwork against published Health Canada rules and your printer's requirements — it's a compliance aid that supports your team's own sign-off, not a certification from Health Canada or from your printer.
