UNRL is looking for an experienced Print Production Coordinator to own the flow of decorated apparel projects from approved artwork through final production.

We're specifically looking for someone who understands how a screen print, embroidery or heat-transfer shop actually works. You should be comfortable taking a designer's artwork and translating it into clear, production-ready specifications, then managing that job through production until finished goods meet UNRL's standards for quality, cost and delivery.

This role is similar to a production coordinator inside a screen print or embroidery shop, with one major difference: rather than assigning jobs to specific machines or operators, you'll assign them to the right third-party decoration partner within UNRL's approved production network .

You'll sit at the intersection of our Creative, Sales, Operations and outside decoration partners and own the production queue from handoff to completion.

• Receive approved artwork from UNRL graphic designers and prepare it for production.
• Size artwork accurately based on garment, placement and decoration specifications.
• Assign Pantone, thread, ink and material colors.
• Make basic production-related artwork adjustments in Adobe Illustrator.
• Identify potential production issues before a job is released.
• Determine appropriate decoration specifications for screen print, embroidery, heat transfer, patches and other applications.
• Build clear production files and instructions that give decorators everything they need to execute the job correctly.
• Review proofs, sew-outs, strike-offs and samples when required before releasing production.
• Own a board of active decoration projects from artwork handoff through completion.
• Prioritize jobs based on customer deadlines, production requirements and partner capacity.
• Assign each project to the best approved decoration partner based on decoration capability, quality, capacity, turn time, cost and geographic/logistical considerations.
• Issue production requests and make sure decorators have complete artwork, quantities, specifications and deadlines.
• Track every open project and proactively resolve anything putting delivery at risk.
• Coordinate changes, reworks and rush projects when needed.
• Keep internal teams informed of project status without requiring them to chase production updates.

• Hold outside decoration partners accountable to UNRL quality standards.
• Review finished decoration for placement, sizing, color, registration, stitch quality and overall execution.
• Identify recurring production issues and work with partners to eliminate them.
• Validate decorator pricing against established rates and project requirements.
• Watch for unnecessary setup charges, run charges, freight or other production costs.
• Help maintain costing standards by decoration type and production partner.
• Track partner performance across quality, cost, accuracy and on-time delivery.
