About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Packaging Designer to create clean, functional, and premium packaging for kitchen and consumer products sold online.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing packaging for physical products, understands print production requirements, and can turn brand concepts into practical, production-ready designs.
You'll be responsible for creating packaging that looks professional, protects the product, communicates its value, and works well across e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.

This role requires a balance of creativity, technical accuracy, and practical thinking. You'll work with product, operations, marketing, and manufacturing teams to ensure that packaging designs meet brand standards, production requirements, and cost considerations.

Key Responsibilities
- Design packaging for physical products, including boxes, inserts, labels, and product manuals.
- Create print-ready packaging files based on manufacturer specifications and dieline requirements.
- Ensure packaging designs balance visual appeal, product protection, readability, durability, and cost efficiency.
- Develop packaging optimized for e-commerce platforms, particularly Amazon, using clear layouts, icons, product callouts, and appropriate compliance elements.
- Collaborate with operations teams and suppliers to refine designs based on manufacturing constraints and production requirements.
- Maintain consistent branding across multiple products and SKUs.
- Improve existing packaging designs and support packaging refreshes, new product launches, and product line extensions.
- Review packaging files carefully to ensure accuracy and readiness for production.

Qualifications and Requirements
- At least 3 years of experience in packaging design, preferably for consumer products or e-commerce brands.
- Proven experience designing packaging for physical products, not just digital graphics or marketing materials.
- Strong understanding of box structures, dielines, and print production processes.
- Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator is required.
- Familiarity with CMYK color modes, bleed settings, print specifications, and production-ready artwork.
- Ability to create clean, professional, and functional designs without unnecessary decorative elements.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage design deliverables independently.
- Comfortable revising designs based on feedback from marketing, operations, and manufacturing teams.

Nice to Have
- Experience designing packaging for kitchenware, home goods, or other consumer products.
- Previous experience working with Amazon sellers or direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands.
- Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and/or InDesign.
- Understanding of cost-conscious packaging decisions, including material selection, ink limitations, and packaging dimensions.
- Experience adapting packaging designs for different marketplaces or regions.

Work Setup
- Location: Remote
- Employment Type: Full-time
- Engagement: Long-term opportunity for the right candidate


To Apply, please share your resume, portfolio, and answers to the questions below. Please follow the application instructions carefully and ensure that all requested materials and answers are included in your submission. Incomplete applications may not be considered.
1. Describe one packaging project you worked on for a physical product. What was the product, and what was your role in the design process?
2. When working with dielines and print files, what are the key things you check before sending a design to production?
3. How do you approach designing packaging that is both visually appealing and functional (e.g., protects the product, communicates clearly, and meets production requirements)?
4. Have you ever had to revise a packaging design due to manufacturing or cost constraints? What changes did you make and why?
5. What tools and software do you use for packaging design, and how do you typically prepare files for print (e.g., color mode, bleed, file setup)?
