Expert-level understanding of print specifications for packaging — including understanding of dielines, substrate selection, ink systems (conventional, UV, digital), and finishing processes
Basic knowledge of packaging testing protocols — including drop testing, ink adhesion, lightfastness, and rub resistance as they relate to print quality durability in shipping and retail environments
A cross-functional manager able to work autonomously in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, start-up environment
Self-driven, organized, detail-oriented, and able to multitask

Expert level knowledge of retouching and print production, including RGB to CMYK conversion, printing processes, securing a drawdown and final color matching approvals, and solving on-press issues
