onto the “barrel-sized”

Mr. Isabel, what is a “barrel proof” exactly?
Sergio Isabel,
Operations Manager Tobacco
at Janoschka Deutschland
Sergio Isabel:
At Janoschka, the production of a
barrel proof has the character of the
launching of a ship. It is an exciting
day: for the first time, we get to
hold a proof in our hands and see the
first “real” version that we have been
working on for quite some time.
This is why our client and every one
of the experts involved in the project
come together in a workshop: the creative
agency, the client´s marketing and
technical support are there, as well as
the ink supplier and the printer.
Printing and embossing experts from
our side are also present. Up until
then, we have only ever seen our
ideas and concepts as drafts, graphic
files, colour proofs or dummies.
Now we can see whether the paper,
colour and refinements actually look
the way we had imagined them and
if we have achieved the desired effect
with the engraving technology.
From the in-house “ink kitchen”:
the actual inks and substrates are used for
the barrel proof.
