Cleaned my desk 3 times just to film on it. Recorded 8 audio takes. Removed platform Crocs mid-session because they were a sound design hazard. This is fine. Everything is fine. 😂 BTB Episode 01 is almost in the can. 🖨️ #BehindTheBleed #SoloCreator #PrintEducation

This is exactly the kind of real-world packaging conversation we’re having at Behind the Bleed.
Real examples. Real lessons. Real production.
More coming soon. 👀

Ordered X-Acto blades for the office.
This is what showed up. 🔪📦
The dispenser perforation doesn’t fit the product inside.
At all.

Here’s the thing though —
This packaging probably works fine for warehouse fulfillment. Amazon? Great.
But for an end user at their desk? Disaster.
Knowing WHO opens your packaging is just as important as what’s inside it.

Finally introducing myself!
Graphics Pro Expo this weekend confirmed it: the industry is ready for accessible print education.

To designers: you shouldn't learn this the hard way.

To print pros: thanks for the warm welcome!
Behind the Bleed launches soon.
