Production Artist / Graphic Designer – Custom Apparel & Screen Printing

Promofect, a U.S.-based company specializing in custom apparel and promotional products for businesses, schools, organizations, and national brands, is seeking an experienced Production Artist / Graphic Designer to join its remote team based in Pakistan. This role is focused on preparing artwork specifically for custom apparel, screen printing, embroidery, DTF/heat transfers, and promotional products, rather than general graphic or social media design. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating customer proofs and mockups, preparing production-ready artwork, correcting customer-supplied files, and managing artwork through Printavo or similar print-shop management systems. This is a full-time remote position working U.S. Eastern business hours, with a monthly salary range of PKR 75,000 to 90,000.

- Create customer proofs and apparel/product mockups.
- Prepare production-ready artwork for screen printing, embroidery, DTF, heat transfers, sublimation, and promotional products.
- Vectorize, rebuild, and clean up customer logos and low-resolution artwork.
- Prepare spot colors, Pantone colors, separations, underbases, bleeds, sizing, and placement specifications as required.
- Adapt artwork to garment print areas, vendor templates, and product imprint limitations.
- Review artwork for spelling, dimensions, placement, resolution, colors, transparency, line weight, and production accuracy.
- Manage proofs, revisions, approvals, art notes, production files, and statuses using Printavo or similar software.
- Identify artwork or order issues prior to production.
- Communicate with Sales, Customer Service, Purchasing, and Production teams when information is missing or unclear.

- Proficiency with Printavo or similar print-shop/order-management software.
- Advanced skills in Adobe Illustrator and strong proficiency in Adobe Photoshop.
- Strong understanding of vector and raster artwork, resolution, spot colors, Pantone matching, separations, and print-ready files.
- Practical knowledge of screen printing, embroidery, DTF, heat transfers, sublimation, and promotional-product imprinting.
- Proven ability to create production-ready artwork rather than marketing or social media graphics.
- Exceptional attention to detail regarding spelling, measurements, colors, placement, and customer instructions.
- Good written and spoken English communication skills.
- Reliable computer, high-speed internet, and ability to work remotely during U.S. Eastern business hours.

Preferred Qualifications and Additional Information
- Direct experience with Printavo is strongly preferred.
- Experience working for a U.S. screen-printing, embroidery, promotional-products, or custom-apparel company is advantageous.
- Familiarity with InkSoft or similar industry software is a plus.

Applicants should submit a resume, LinkedIn profile, and a portfolio showcasing custom apparel, screen-printing, embroidery, and/or promotional-product work. A brief explanation of their experience with Printavo or similar software, a summary of production-ready artwork experience, and computer specifications including internet speed are also required. Portfolios focused solely on social media posts, branding, UI/UX, or marketing graphics will not meet the requirements for this position. Candidates must demonstrate real experience preparing artwork for physical production.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to submit a brief 1–2 minute video introduction in English. This video should cover their professional background, relevant custom apparel/promotional-products experience, artwork preparation for screen printing, embroidery, DTF, heat transfers or similar methods, and familiarity with Printavo or comparable software.
