Packaging, printing and labelling errors can halt production lines, trigger recalls and damage brands, yet many African converters lack structured quality control for colour, print and artwork. This course covers colour management, print defect control, artwork and proofing discipline, and label accuracy so operations deliver right first time packaging. Participants learn to build checks that protect both quality and brand integrity.

Identify and control common print and converting defects.
Apply disciplined artwork approval and proofing steps.
Verify label content, coding and barcode accuracy.
