At Kallik, we continue to invest in the ongoing development of our labeling and artwork management software, Veraciti™, to better support our customers’ evolving needs. As part of this commitment, on January 16th we shared the latest Veraciti™ 2026 R1 Release Plan, highlighting areas of enhancement that remain under constant review as we identify the most valuable opportunities to bring new capabilities into the platform.
“Veraciti™ 2026 R1 reflects our continued focus on platform resilience and practical workflow improvements,” said Stuart Powell, Chief Product Officer at Kallik. “We keep the platform under continual review, and when we see a clear and suitable use for an enhancement, we look to introduce it in a way that delivers real value for our customers.
“This release plan gives customers early visibility into what we’re working toward, so they can prepare for validation and take full advantage of new capabilities as they become available.”
Platform Resilience Improvements Now Defined
The 2026 R1 release places a strong emphasis on improving platform availability and operational continuity. As detailed in the plan, Veraciti™ introduces enhanced resiliency for Factory Print, optional high availability for Print Proxy, and a blue/green deployment model designed to reduce downtime during application upgrades.
These changes are intended to support enterprise-scale environments where system availability is critical to production and compliance.
Workflow Enhancements Available for Review
As part of the updates, customers can also review new workflow capabilities planned for Veraciti™ 2026 R1. This includes the ability to create custom approval routes when initiating artwork approvals, allowing approval stages and reviewers to be defined on a per-project basis.
These enhancements are designed to better reflect real-world approval processes while maintaining governance and auditability.
Expanded Dynamic Tables Support Across the Platform
Dynamic Tables also form a key part of the 2026 R1 update. The latest release notes confirm expanded support for structured table data within Project Briefs, Cloud Designer, ADM, and automated artwork generation.
This enables teams to reliably populate and render data-heavy content such as nutrition tables and regulatory information, improving consistency between project data and final artwork outputs.
Updates Across Cloud Designer and AAG
In addition to core Veraciti™ enhancements, the January 16 release notes outline improvements delivered in Cloud Designer 1.8 and AAG 5.4.0. These updates include refinements to live previews, artwork generation reliability, audit logging, and usability, supporting more efficient day-to-day workflows for global teams.
What Happens Next
Customer validation for Veraciti™ 2026 R1 begins in early February 2026, with the final live release scheduled for mid-March. Customers are encouraged to review the published release plan and release notes to understand upcoming changes and prepare for validation activities.
Kallik will continue to work closely with customers throughout the validation and rollout phases to ensure a smooth transition to the 2026 R1 release.
These planned enhancements are designed to improve platform resilience and give teams greater flexibility when managing approvals and artwork workflows.
