The artwork is signed off, and the rule it breaks came into force in one market.
The module holds a requirements explorer, which lists every cited on-pack element a market requires, and an artwork check, which reads what you are about to print and compares it element by element against those requirements. Every check is judged at the date the pack will be on shelf.
Your artwork is scanned for malware, then read, which is the only AI step and observes what is present, where, and in which languages without ruling on compliance, and then compared deterministically against the market’s cited requirements. The verdict always rests on a real rule. Labelling rules across the markets the brain holds, each cited to the legal text it comes from.
Every market · every regime · cited absences
What it actually does
Mechanism, in the order it happens.
- Pick the product type, and the rules follow
Cosmetic, food, drink, textile, detergent, electrical or other. The type decides which requirements apply, so allergen and nutrition rules only reach food. In an EU or EEA market the check reads that nation’s own rules plus the EU-wide rules, de-duplicated, with the country rule winning where the two overlap.
- Judge it at the date it will be on shelf
Pick any assessment date from today up to five years ahead. An upcoming rule with a known application date inside your horizon is treated as binding, so a pack signed off today is not already out of date on launch day. Rules that apply after your date, and proposals that are not law yet, appear as coming rather than as gaps.
- Measure the elements that have a size
Size and placement rules are held for the markets that impose them, and the check does not just look for those elements, it measures them, computing each one’s size from its detected box on the artwork against the pack dimensions you recorded. Artwork with no recorded dimensions is reported as an indication with the assumption stated, and is never grounds for a hard fail.
- Name a mark’s owner, never redraw it
Most official marks belong to somebody. The Official artwork panel names the owner, the official source, the licence position and the minimum size for your pack with its status. Where the register holds the owner’s own file and reproduction is permitted, it writes that file into the product’s document vault at the required size, recording the file’s fingerprint, the size and the licence reference beside it.
- Seal the run
Each run is stored with a sealed manifest: content fingerprints of the exact artwork files checked, the rule-set version it was judged against, and which reading engine ran. The manifest is hashed the moment the run is stored and the hash goes into the audit trail, so the inputs can be re-verified byte for byte later.
Before you run one. Artwork as PNG, JPG, WEBP or PDF, each file under 5 MB. Every file is malware-scanned before it is stored. Running a check uses one of your AI allowance credits. Record width, height and depth in millimetres on the product so size rules can be measured rather than reported as unverified.
What you see
Every requirement, sorted
Per market: correct today, non-compliant, coming, voluntary, and could not be verified. A rule that applies but cannot be proved or disproved from the artwork alone states exactly why, and is never counted as a gap.
Your artwork, with the boxes shown
Detection overlays: click an element and its box lights up where it was found. An Observed strip lists every language and named mark the reader identified, and a language note per market states the required languages against what was detected.
An XLSX of the check
Requirements as rows, markets as columns, one symbol per cell, with markets whose column is identical sharing one heading. It renders the stored check exactly as it appeared when it ran, never the current rule base, so a check exported a year later shows the same symbols it showed on the day.
Official mark sizes, cited
The e-mark at 3 mm, confirmed, Directive 76/211/EEC. The CE and UKCA markings at 5 mm, confirmed, Regulation (EC) 765/2008 and the UKCA guidance.
Wine, beer and spirits carry their own rules, in their own module. Ingredients e-labels, sulphite statements, bottler and importer particulars and statutory health warnings are in Drinks, priced separately.
What it costs
+£29 a month, on any plan. Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT, and annual billing is charged as ten months for twelve.
During the public beta every module is switched on for every workspace, whatever add-ons you hold. This is the price that applies once the beta ends.
The regulatory brain is reference data shared by every workspace: what you see in it is what every other customer sees, with the same citations and the same confidence labels. A module decides which regimes the platform answers for, never how sure it is allowed to be.
What it does not do
It does not approve artwork. It tells you what the cited rules require and what your artwork shows; it does not replace your own or your printer’s final approval.
It does not redraw an official mark. A redrawn or approximated mark is a compliance problem in its own right, so Oblifee never draws one, and neither should your designer.
It does not guess at a size it cannot calibrate. Without recorded pack dimensions a size rule is reported honestly as could not be verified, never guessed and never quietly dropped.
