Packaging Translation Services for Global Products

Stepes translates product names and descriptions, labels, ingredients, materials, specifications, claims, warnings, safety information, usage instructions, preparation directions, storage information, quantities, measurements, manufacturer information, regulatory statements, package inserts, promotional copy, sustainability information, graphic callouts, and other multilingual packaging content. We support both individual packaging projects and ongoing localization programs across multiple products, languages, revisions, and markets.

Yes. Stepes provides product label translation services for consumer products, food and beverage, beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, industrial products, electronics, household goods, and other categories. Label translation can include professional translation, terminology management, multilingual formatting, artwork localization, in-context review, and quality assurance according to the project requirements.

Yes. Stepes supports multilingual packaging workflows in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and other common design and publishing formats. When editable source files are available, translated text can be reintegrated into the artwork and the target layout adjusted for text expansion, typography, fonts, line breaks, writing direction, and other language-specific requirements.

Translated text may take more or less space than the source language. Stepes multilingual production specialists can adapt text frames, line breaks, typography, spacing, and layout to accommodate the target language while preserving readability and design intent. If substantive copy changes or shortening would affect meaning, brand language, approved claims, or regulated content, those changes should follow the appropriate linguistic and customer approval process rather than being made only to fit the artwork.

Yes. Stepes translates product names, ingredients, allergen statements, nutrition information, serving information, weights and volumes, preparation instructions, storage conditions, warnings, claims, package descriptions, promotional copy, and multilingual food packaging artwork.

Because food labeling requirements differ by product and market, Stepes translates approved source information according to the market requirements and terminology defined for the project. Legal and regulatory determinations remain with the appropriate customer specialists.

Yes. Stepes supports translation of pharmaceutical labels, cartons, package inserts, medication information, dosage and administration content, warnings, safety statements, storage information, and related packaging artwork.

Workflows can include specialist linguists, controlled terminology, independent revision, subject-matter review, client approval, and multilingual artwork QA according to project requirements.

Yes. Stepes translates medical device labels, cartons, product identification, warnings, symbols, handling information, storage instructions, IFUs, and supporting product content. Our medical device translation workflows can combine qualified linguistic resources, terminology control, multilingual DTP, structured quality review, and ISO-aligned quality processes.

Stepes uses approved terminology, translation memory, reference content, style guidance, and quality controls to maintain consistent language across related products. Previously approved language can be reused across different package sizes, flavors, models, formulations, or product variants where the source content and translation remain applicable.

Yes. Stepes can analyze revised content, leverage previously approved translations, identify new or changed language, and focus translation and review on affected content. This is particularly useful for new packaging revisions, formulation changes, updated warnings, new claims, artwork refreshes, additional package sizes, and related SKU launches.

Packaging QA can include linguistic accuracy, completeness, terminology, grammar, spelling, numbers, measurements, units, product names, ingredients, warnings, fonts, special characters, text overflow, line breaks, graphics, RTL presentation, and source-to-target artwork comparison. The exact QA process is configured according to the product, content type, languages, intended use, and agreed project scope.

Yes. Stepes supports Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and other right-to-left languages. RTL packaging production may require more than changing text direction. Depending on the artwork, the layout may also require mirrored structures, changed alignment, repositioned graphics, script-compatible fonts, bidirectional text handling, and final visual QA.

Stepes supports common packaging and design formats including Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, PDF, SVG, EPS, Microsoft Word, Excel, and other design, publishing, structured-content, and document formats. Editable native files are recommended whenever available because they generally provide greater control over text extraction, layout adaptation, typography, graphics, and final production.

Stepes uses AI and automation as part of flexible translation workflows where they can improve speed, reuse, consistency, or process efficiency. The appropriate workflow depends on the content. High-volume or repetitive product language may benefit from AI-assisted processes, translation memory, terminology automation, and automated QA. Brand-sensitive, technical, safety-related, medical, or regulated content can receive professional human translation and additional specialist validation. The objective is not to apply one translation method to every packaging project, but to match technology and human expertise to the content and its risk.

Stepes supports packaging translation in more than 100 languages, including major European, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Latin American languages as well as many regional language variants. Multilingual production is available for Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and other right-to-left scripts, Indic languages, Southeast Asian languages, and other complex writing systems.

Yes. Stepes supports both individual packaging projects and recurring enterprise programs involving multiple SKUs, languages, markets, package types, and release cycles. Shared terminology, translation memories, workflow rules, review processes, multilingual artwork expertise, and centralized language assets allow approved packaging language to scale across an expanding product portfolio.
