Our graphic designers specialize in meeting your package design requirements. Consideration for the "on-shelf" presentation to in-store customers begins with comprehensive mock-ups of label graphics that consider printability and cost-effective production, without sacrificing graphic design integrity. Design options may include illustration or photography, or die-cutting. However, the design options must provide an awareness of print requirements; such as single, multiple, or combination runs using four color process, or special PMS colors.

Knowledge of in-store UPC requirements, government regulations and label laws are part of the design challenge from the beginning. The label proof is executed to resemble the final printed label as closely as possible to enable our customers and designers to make graphic decisions before expensive trapping, color separations, and final plates are produced.

One of the most important label development steps is the production of the final art are color separations. The advantage of accurately produced separations by artists that understand digital pre-press, press printability, and finishing tolerances, will enhance the in-store appeal of a well executed graphic design. The opportunity to consult with the plate-making, printing, and finishing professionals when producing final art will result in cost savings in all aspects of job execution, from start to finish.

Communication with our customer's marketing, purchasing, and graphic design departments, as well as identification of our internal customer/supplier needs are basic to final label product specifications. At KDV, we have developed the tools to ensure these needs are fulfilled as the label flows through the various departments to final press run. Our experience enables us to work with customer furnished art files to flawlessly produce a label that is the lowest total cost solution.
