Designed for what happens next
Good artwork still has to work in production.
Dielines, substrates, print limitations, color, file construction, revisions, approvals, and final handoffs are considered from the beginning—not discovered after the artwork reaches production.

When EXTN fits
Your team doesn’t have to stay stuck at capacity.
Experienced capacity changes more than the size of the queue. It gives production teams a dependable way forward.
- 01
Your graphics department has more work than it can reliably absorb.
- 02
You lost internal production experience and are not ready to add a full-time position.
- 03
Revisions, approvals, and final files are becoming difficult to track.
- 04
Production spends too much time correcting incoming artwork.
- 05
You need someone who understands packaging and print—not only visual design.
- 06
Recurring artwork pulls your core team away from higher-priority work.
Work built for real use
Creative work with
production on the other side.
A selection of packaging graphics, brand identity, and apparel work created with production requirements in mind. Each project reflects practical execution, clear hierarchy, and files prepared for real-world use.
Why EXTN exists
Built from the inside of a real graphics department.
EXTN Graphics was founded by Richie Gray, a Senior Graphic Designer and Digital Pre-Production Artist with more than 20 years of experience across corrugated packaging, prepress, digital printing, branding, apparel, and print design.
After approximately 12 years supporting packaging production inside a corrugated packaging manufacturer, his position was eliminated as the work moved to outsourcing. EXTN was built around what companies actually need from an outside graphics partner: production knowledge, responsive communication, direct accountability, and a process they can trust.
“This isn’t outsourcing designed around distance or volume. It’s experienced graphics support designed to work as an extension of your team.”
