I have extensive experience designing, artworking and managing pharmaceutical packaging with all the safeguards including pharmacodes and carton codes. I ensured that CMYK and multiple spot-colour and UV varnish plates were correct before they went to press.
As Artwork Manager at Medicom Healthcare my duties included design, artworking, photography and checking all packaging designs and marketing materials. I liaised with manufacturers in France, Switzerland and India to ensure standards were maintained.
