Roles

Packaging, Marketing, Quality & Compliance, Legal, Agency, Printer, Photoengraver

 

Challenges

Nothing is present on the modern product packaging by accident. Some elements are regulatory. Others maintain and promote the brand. Some are creative, or nutritional, or health warnings, etc.
Designing packaging involves many steps and many different competencies (packaging, marketing, quality, legal, photoengravers, and printers).

Every input to process must not only be realized in text or in art, it must also be communicated, checked, corrected, and approved. The process always involves long cycle times and multiple document versions.
