- Published on Sunday, 22 November 2009 10:44
Translating the Brand concept to the final sales package can be a costly exercise without a solid Design for Print or Package Print Production background.
In Asia colleges rarely provide these subjects, with the result that the skills required to produce printable designs are learned on-the-fly by both Package Designers and their Brand Owner clients - often with serious cost implications.
This Unit removes the guess-work and variables and ultimately finger-pointing from the Packaging Printing Process.
This Unit is delivered at INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED levels only for Brand Owners, Package Designers & Packaging Suppliers who need a basic grounding in Printing the Package.
It is available in two separate complementary modules :
- Design for Print Production
- Pre-press & Print Fundamentals
These modules can be delivered individually or together as a single course or within Unit 302
