KENYA · GUIDE 0555 · EDITION 4.2
Packaging artwork service in Kenya
Design packaging artwork around an approved dieline and verified product content.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional packaging artwork PKG-55 places branding on a printer-supplied tuck-end box dieline for one set of four greeting cards. The example finished cavity is 150×110×20 mm, subject to supplier validation with the real cards/envelopes. Deliverables are one decorated dieline PDF, a separate visual mockup and a folded unprinted fit-check record when performed. Structural engineering, food-contact assessment, die manufacture and production printing are excluded. A barcode is included only if the client supplies an authorised assigned identifier.
