Color accuracy:
A designer should have enough knowledge about how to print his packaging design. He should always keep his screen calibrated. and know the basic principles of printing. Rotogravure printing or paper label printing or… The first principle in packaging design is to create a profile in harmony with the printing house. Adequate knowledge of codes can be very important. The numerical combination of colors is very important. Before printing, he should have the standard printing of his work, and during printing, it is better to be with the printing supervisor.

Communication and collaboration:
We should always know that the quality of the final output of your design depends on the printing operator and the printing machine. The designer must have a common language between himself and the printer understand each other’s words and trust each other. This work requires that the printer has sufficient knowledge of design.
