MID-ATLANTIC PACKAGING GRAPHIC DESIGN

GRAPHIC DESIGN Some organizations hire independent graphic designers, but the specifications of prepress, die cutting, and printing on corrugated are not taught in art schools and such experience in this industry is earned. Other organizations may have a design team, but they may be far removed from their structural designer counterparts or manufacturing facilities.

Expediency MAP's graphic designers parallel our structural designers and are located in close proximately to our manufacturing facilities. The onsite, full-time MAP graphic design team members incorporate beneficial insight and talent from project onset and follows through production. These factors coupled with the fully computerized design lab streamlines the process between conceptualization and production.

Specialized MAP's design lab includes an HP Scitex FB6300 digital printer. The printer cost-effectively produces anywhere from one to 500 displays without additional tooling costs. It is the perfect solution for specialized POP displays, mock-ups or comps.

All Encompassing MAP projects often begin in the design lab with the creation of renderings and true sample mock-ups. But projects may also end in the design lab where instruction sheets and PAIs are generated to effectively communicate assembly how tos.

Advantageous MAP generates photographic and three-dimensional CGI renderings of preliminary concepts displayed in MAP designs for use by the customer's sales force even before significant investments have been made. Such sales tools are necessary to successfully present to retail buyers.
