Destiny Packaging, a division of Bunzl, is seeking to hire a Marketing and
Pre-Press Specialist. This is a part-time hybrid position based in Bakerfield,
CA, requiring approximately 30-35 hours per week. The schedule may be flexible
based on business needs, customer deadlines, and production requirements.

Responsibilities:

* Receive, preflight and correct customer and agency artwork (Adobe
Illustrator, Photoshop, PDF) for flexographic printing on films such as PE,
BOPP, PET and laminations.
* Prepare print-ready files: trapping, color separations, spot/process color
builds, distortion/elongation, step-and-repeat, eyemarks, and dielines/bag
layouts for each bag style and roll configuration.
* Manage color: match Pantone/brand standards, build and maintain color
libraries, and work with converter and printer partners on ink drawdowns,
proofs and press checks.
* Prepare and verify UPC/EAN, GS1 DataBar and PLU barcodes and produce-label
content (country of origin, PLU, nutrition/claims, recycling symbols,
how-2-recycle where applicable) for scannability and regulatory accuracy.
* Create and route customer proofs, track approvals and revisions, and keep job
records accurate (specs, plate/cylinder info, color references, revision
history).
* Coordinate with domestic and overseas print/converting partners (including
China, Mexico and Canada) on plate making, technical specs, print quality and
delivery schedules; resolve file and print-quality issues quickly.
* Support quality control: compare printed samples and production rolls with
approved proofs, document defects, and help with root-cause and corrective
action.
* Keep spec sheets and artwork archives organized and consistent with company
templates.
* Advise sales and customers on design-for-print: what is achievable with flexo
on a given substrate, how many colors to use, line screens, minimum text/line
sizes, and cost-effective artwork choices.

Requirements:

* Associate's degree in Graphic Design, Marketing, Printing Technology,
Packaging, or a related field preferred; equivalent combination of education
and experience will be considered.
* Minimum 3-5 years of experience in packaging artwork production, pre-press,
flexographic printing, or a related print production environment.
* Strong understanding of flexographic printing processes, color separations,
trapping, step-and-repeat, distortion, and print production requirements for
flexible packaging.
* Experience preparing artwork for a variety of substrates, including
polyethylene (PE), BOPP, PET, laminations, and other flexible packaging
materials.
* Experience creating, verifying, and troubleshooting UPC, EAN, GS1 DataBar,
and PLU barcodes.
* Familiarity with food packaging requirements, labeling standards, and
regulatory content preferred.
* Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple projects,
revisions, and deadlines simultaneously.
* Excellent organizational skills with experience maintaining artwork archives,
specifications, and revision histories.
* Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to
collaborate with customers, sales teams, converters, printers, and overseas
vendor partners.
* Demonstrated problem-solving skills and ability to identify and resolve
artwork, print quality, and production issues.
* Experience coordinating with international suppliers, including partners in
Mexico, Canada, and Asia, is preferred.
* Knowledge of quality control processes, root cause analysis, and corrective
action procedures is a plus.

geographic location.
