What Our Students Say
The Illustrator dieline module is excellent. I can now build tuck-end and sleeve cartons from scratch, and the Dimension renders impress clients.
The Blender module taught me to make turntable videos of packs. Brands love seeing the product before it is printed.
I worked in print production with no design skills. The print module is very detailed, and I was promoted to packaging designer at my company.
The InDesign multi-SKU module saves me hours. I now design label ranges for D2C beauty brands as a freelancer.
My capstone organic food range became my best portfolio piece and helped me get hired by a food brand.
Packaging always felt too technical. The trainers explained every structure and print concept clearly in Tamil and English.
