What We Are Looking For

We are specifically looking for someone who is more than a creative graphic designer. The person should understand how an artwork actually gets converted into printing cylinders and finally printed on flexible packaging.

The candidate should be comfortable coordinating with customers, marketing team, production team, printing operators and cylinder manufacturers to take an artwork from initial design to final production.
