Color Guard: How Source Wurx manages color across multiple forms of printed packaging for a single branded item
CHALLENGE

Source Wurx was chosen to manage this brand packaging project as they are known for providing next-level collaboration with customers and printers to ensure brand consistency and color-managed expectations.
