I graduated with a degree in Printing and Packaging Technology and spent the last few years doing freelance graphic design branding, packaging, visual identity work. A few weeks ago, I started learning Python from scratch.
Somewhere around the "variables and f-strings" stage of my learning, I had an idea: every print/packaging designer I know does the same tedious math by hand, over and over — converting units, calculating bleed, translating CMYK to RGB for screen previews. There wasn't a clean Python library for any of it.
So I decided to build one — and publish it to PyPI as a way to actually use what I was learning instead of just doing tutorial exercises.
The result is pkgprint — a small, zero-dependency library for print and packaging math.
