A creative designer that's getting bogged down with technical, production design work?
A lot of quick-turn projects that are really just an extension of other designs or existing brand assets?
A tight budget that won't allow for a full-time designer but you still have a lot of work that needs to get done?
A freelancer that can be unpredictable in terms of quality, cost, or turnaround times?

Decades of expertise
Our design director reviews all files before you receive them
Meredith has been a printing and production design leader for 10+ years. Before leading packaging and printing at a fast-growing CPG company that launched 60+ products and hit $80M+ in sales over a 5-year period in one of the most highly-regulated industries in the world, Meredith built and ran her own production design and prepress design business. Companies and brands of all sizes depended on Meredith to ensure their creative vision shined through in the physical form.
Egglife supplements their core agency with KitPrint to tackle technical jobs and quick-turn files swiftly and efficiently.
Karli switched from an in-house designer to KitPrint in under 24 hours and increased design output by 3x for 50% less.
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your help. I truly appreciate your communication and staying on top of projects.”

“You're making this SO easy on us!!! Thank you, thank you for the communication and all the extra guidance along the way!”
“I had to recco you guys -- you've been awesome to work with!”
Stop accepting "good enough" because you don't want to spend more time and money on another round of revisions

FAQ
We primarily work with CPG brands and agencies.
Once you let us know you’d like to get started we can typically schedule your onboarding call within 48 hours. We’ll discuss your first project(s) on the call so we can get started right away.
Details are definitely important but a formal brief is not. We’ll take incomplete sentences, bullets, napkin drawings, etc. The goal is for you to spend just enough time to give us what we need.
To make sure you know what we need, let’s use an example.
Example: “We need a half page holiday ad for the November issue of ABC magazine”.
Well-defined brief:
Too-open ended, not enough info:
During the onboarding call we typically ask that you walk us through your brand guide and anything else you want us to know that will help ensure we maintain your look and feel.
Most of our clients use the private Trello project board we create for them. If you already have an existing project management tool in place for design workflow (i.e. Asana, Monday, etc.) and prefer we integrate into that platform instead, that’s fine too.
Nope! You can add as many design requests to your queue as you like. We’ll work on them one at a time until they’ve been approved by you. You can let us know what to work on next by changing the order of the requests in the queue.
We turn files within three business days or less. Subsequent rounds of revision usually take (significantly) less than three business days.
More complex projects or projects with multiple layers of deliverables may be broken into multiple projects.
You’ll communicate directly with our Co-founder / Production Design Director who will be supported by one or two other designers on our team.
Definitely! If it’s difficult to get the gist of what you need across, we’re more than happy to schedule a call with you.
Most jobs are executed via the Adobe Creative Suite.
We'll deliver files according to whatever specs you need. Some examples could include:
Note: We always deliver editable versions of your files, unless you ask us not to, so that you have access to working templates in the future.
Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. Whatever you prefer.
Don’t worry! We’ll complete as many revisions as necessary until you’re happy.
We have a team of highly-vetted, seasoned production designers.
In order to join our team, a production designer must pass a rigorous test and interview process.
They can. However, time spent on more technical, nitty-gritty work means deadlines and turnaround times for higher-impact, creative projects will most likely keep getting pushed further and further out.
They can. However, it's probably going to be significantly more expensive. Most of our clients use their creative agency for creative and/or conceptual work and use KitPrint for production design work.
For sure! Just loop us in via email.
Absolutely! We have a good network of vendors we have worked with and can personally vouch for.
Yes! We can provide guidance when it comes to packaging structure, print treatments, substrates, layout decisions, etc. and how these will impact COGs.
We are not a printer. We do have an in-depth, technical understanding of all things packaging and print.
There are generally no refunds but we’ll complete as many revisions as necessary in order to provide a result you are 100% satisfied with.
You can pause or cancel your subscription anytime. If you do, you’ll have access to KitPrint until the end of your current, active month.
Per our Terms & Conditions, projects don’t roll over. That being said, we’re not sticklers. If we are in the middle of the 3rd project and we hit the end of the 30 days we’ll typically extend a few days as necessary to complete the project.
Yes! Just ask.
No way! This is a collaborative process and designs will always be provided to you in a format that your design team can quickly edit as needed/desired.
We are two long-time colleagues that have spent years leading product development, packaging and production design in some of the most highly-regulated and fastest-growing industries.
