Could you build this?
Partial The web portal and preview UI are standard, but reliably parsing vector artwork (PDF/AI) to extract print specs, color separations, and die lines for automated manufacturing quotes requires deep domain software engineering.
What it would actually take: The backend requires specialized vector and prepress processing pipelines (e.g., using libraries or native engines like Ghostscript, MuPDF, or Cairo) to inspect spot colors, cut contours, bleed, and embedded fonts. Developing the automated quoting engine requires proprietary manufacturing formulas, die-line analysis algorithms, and integration into packaging ERP systems, demanding deep domain expertise in commercial packaging prepress.
