About the Role

The Packaging Designer will act as the guardian of the brand’s physical presence, overseeing the full development of every product’s packaging. This role focuses on end-to-end packaging design and production from structural concepts and creative direction to final, print-ready artwork and also supports wider graphic design needs for product launches and key initiatives.

• Create original packaging concepts for new launches, limited editions, and line extensions bringing ideas to life through mood boards, sketches, and visual mock-ups.

• Interpret creative briefs and translate brand strategy into packaging that feels elevated, on-brand, and commercially strong.

• Lead the full creation and finalisation of primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging artwork (unit cartons, bottles, labels, inserts), ensuring technically perfect, print-ready dielines using Adobe Illustrator.

• Design across all packaging formats - bottles, jars, tubes, compacts, cartons, boxes, and sleeves ensuring every touchpoint reflects brand identity, colour palettes, typography, and visual codes.

• Prepare production-ready artwork and technical files, performing precise checks on bleeds, knockouts, dimensions, and structural accuracy.

• Work directly with global print and packaging suppliers, managing colour matching (Pantones), approvals, and pre-production checks to guarantee quality.

• Act as the in-house specialist on print processes and finishes (embossing, debossing, foiling, spot UV, varnishes, paper stocks), ensuring a premium and luxury feel across all packaging.

• Accurately lay out all regulatory text, ingredient listings (INCI), warnings, barcodes, and compliance elements aligned with regional requirements (FDA, EU, UK).

• Support Product Development by exploring innovative and sustainable packaging structures that enhance functionality, protection, and the overall unboxing experience.

• Stay ahead of beauty and luxury packaging trends, materials, and industry innovations — consistently bringing fresh ideas that elevate shelf presence and user experience.

• Create realistic 3D mockups and photorealistic renders for internal reviews, marketing, retail presentations, and e-commerce pages.

• Design supplementary assets including instruction guides, leaflet inserts, POS/merchandising displays, and basic launch graphics for email and web.

• Maintain and update the digital library of approved packaging assets, templates, and specifications.

About You 

• 3+ years of professional experience in packaging design, preferably within the beauty, cosmetics, or luxury goods sectors.

• Expert proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign is mandatory; strong skills in Photoshop for mockups and image manipulation.

• A proven understanding of commercial print production processes, material sourcing, and quality control checks.

• Exceptional attention to detail, especially regarding typography, regulatory text layout, and colour accuracy (CMYK/Pantone).

• Experience with structural design (e.g., understanding fold lines and gluing tabs) and preparing technical dielines for suppliers.

• Proficiency in creating realistic 3D renderings/mockups (using software like KeyShot, Blender, or equivalent 3D functionality in Adobe tools) is a significant advantage.

• A strong portfolio that clearly showcases finalised, printed, and manufactured packaging projects.
