Graphic Designer

About Anaswara Offset Printers

Anaswara is a leading print solutions provider based in Kochi, with over four decades of excellence in commercial and packaging printing. From books to boxes, brochures to branding - we collaborate with clients to bring their ideas to life through high-quality print and design.

We’re now expanding our production team and looking for passionate Graphic Designers to join us.

This is a production-focused role, not a typical creative agency position. Most artworks are provided by clients - your key responsibility will be to ensure these are print-ready, create keylines/layouts, and guide clients to deliver files correctly.

You’ll be working closely with clients, the prepress department, and the production team to deliver high-quality outputs for commercial and packaging print jobs.

Key Responsibilities

• Check and validate client-provided artwork files for print readiness
• Create keylines, die lines, and layout templates for packaging and commercial print jobs
• Coordinate with clients to guide them on file formats, bleeds, resolution, and layout corrections
• Set up files as per printing and finishing specs (offset, die-cutting, folding, etc.)
• Make minor corrections to artwork (fonts, color mode, alignment, margins, etc.)
• Collaborate with the prepress and production teams to ensure smooth workflow
• Maintain proper documentation and version control of artwork files
• Adapt existing designs to different formats as required
• Stay updated with evolving print standards and technology

Qualifications

• Degree/Diploma in Graphic Design, Printing Technology, or a related field
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Understanding of print production specifications and file formats
• Familiarity with layout setting and prepress file preparation

Preferred (not mandatory)

• Experience in packaging design and keyline/die line creation
• Exposure to working in a print house or packaging unit
• Basic knowledge of color management and print finishing techniques

What We’re Looking For

• A keen eye for detail and accuracy
• Strong time management and multitasking abilities
• Clear communication skills for client coordination
• Team player mindset with a willingness to learn and grow

• Fresh graduates with good technical understanding and a strong portfolio are encouraged to apply
• Experienced designers will be considered for mid-level roles
