I’m Ricardo Cabezas Navarro, a packaging and new product development professional with about 19 years of progressive experience turning customer ideas into manufacturable, repeatable solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and personal care industries. I coordinate across mold development, plastics and color, graphic design, prepress, and print production to support prototype evaluation, first production runs, and tolerance validation. I’ve led integrated project work from early artwork adaptation through pilot trials and production stabilization, ensuring color matching, print feasibility (like screen printing, dry offset, flexography, and hot stamping), and traceability through release documentation. I also bring hands-on collaboration experience with sales, production, quality, and specialized suppliers to translate visual and functional requirements into technically sound outcomes.…I’m Ricardo Cabezas Navarro, a packaging and new product development professional with about 19 years of progressive experience turning customer ideas into manufacturable, repeatable solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and personal care industries.
