Position Summary:
We are seeking a sharp, fast-moving Production Designer to bring packaging concepts to life — translating creative vision into smart, consumer-ready print executions. In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with an internal Art Director and interface with retained agency partners to manage creative from concept through production. You’ll be hands-on in both design and execution, creating dielines, building layouts, managing files, and working cross-functionally with teams like brand creative, print vendors, and operations. This is a highly collaborative, detail-driven role that requires excellent communication, strong print knowledge, and a passion for typography and layout.
Key Responsibilities:
Collaborate with the Art Director and agency partners to translate conceptual creative into production-ready packaging assets
Create dielines and artwork for packaging components including boxes, hangtags, neck labels, retail bags, and more
Apply a clear design eye to every touchpoint — with strong understanding of how materials, structure, and typography inform the end product
Assess creative briefs and help determine best execution (internally or with external agencies)
Maintain consistency across brand guidelines and identity systems
Support creative file management and clear communication with internal and external teams
Ensure accurate production setup and print specifications aligned with global packaging standards
Field technical questions from print vendors and provide clear, actionable solutions
Balance speed and precision to deliver high-quality work on tight timelines
Bring an editorial mindset — especially around typography — to ensure packaging clearly communicates to the consumer
Who You Are:
A production-savvy designer with 3+ years of experience in packaging, print production, and visual design
Skilled in working from concept through execution, with a sharp eye for type, layout, and storytelling
Experienced in retail or product packaging design — you know how creative ideas translate onto physical materials
Skilled with typography
Comfortable with technical artwork, dielines, and production specs
Someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and can work with minimal direction
Passionate about brand storytelling and print as a tactile consumer experience
Familiar with working within identity systems and design guidelines
Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), Acrobat, Keynote, and Microsoft Office; Figma and Miro are a plus
Clear communicator who can confidently speak to your work and creative choices

Background in editorial or layout design
Experience with photography and how it plays into packaging systems
Understanding of retail fixture or environmental builds
