Print-Ready Incense Packaging Conversion

I have already developed the full creative direction for five SKUs in our new line of bambooless incense sticks. You will receive finished mock-ups, exact dimensions, all copy, and every supporting asset; your role is to translate those references into flawless, press-ready artwork.

File & colour requirements
• Final files must be supplied in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and high-resolution PDF, built on the dielines I provide.
• Please keep the exact colours shown in my references; no new palette exploration is needed.
• The final pieces should be prepared for a mixed matte / glossy finish, so separate any elements that require spot UV or varnish on their own layer.

Key expectations
– Maintain the original layout, typography and hierarchy without deviation.
– Set up CMYK artwork with 3 mm bleed, clear cut lines, fold indications and printer notes.
– Package and name assets logically so the printer can pick them up without questions.
– Run a pre-flight check to catch overprint, font or image-link issues before delivery.

Deliverables
1. Press-ready .ai file for each of the five SKUs
2. Corresponding print-optimised PDFs with bleeds and trim marks

If you have handled D2C wellness or FMCG packaging before, this will feel familiar. Quality, precision and quick turnaround are what matter most to me; once the files pass pre-flight, the project is complete and ready for hand-off to the factory.
