Expert Packaging Designer Needed: Print-Ready Stand-Up Pouch Layout & 3D Renderings (4 SKUs)

We are looking for an expert graphic designer with highly specialized, proven experience in flexible stand-up pouch packaging to finalize a 4-SKU premium snack product rollout (Almonds, Hazelnuts, Strawberries, Raspberries). Time is strictly of the essence for this project. We have a clear visual mockup design and layout mapped out, but we need a technical print-ready professional to build the production files flawlessly. Core Requirements & Scope of Work: • Expert Pouch Dieline Mapping: You must assemble the master design layout from scratch directly onto an official "S7" template from The Packaging Lab (Physical Dimensions: 6.75" W x 8.5" H x 3.5" Gusset). • Exact Technical Layer Setup: The final Adobe Illustrator (.AI) delivery files must use a professionally structured, unbloated layer system: Dielines (locked on a separate layer), Typography/Text, Barcodes/Nutrition Tables, and Background Artwork (Pantone 412C kept on an extra-large bleed layer for ultimate future sizing flexibility). • Adobe Illustrator Vector Tracing: Elements inside our reference files are low-resolution. You must manually recreate/vectorize our core brand logos, text layouts, and icons so they are 100% scalable vector shapes. • Photographic High-Res Embedding: Our design includes a realistic "simulated clear window" graphic. You must embed our raw snack photography as crisp, high-resolution CMYK imagery running at a minimum of 300 DPI, styled with perfect vector masks. • 3D E-Commerce Renderings: Project must include high-quality, realistic 3D mockups of the finished pouches to be utilized for digital web and e-commerce store listings. • 4-SKU Variant Swaps: Once the Master layout is fully approved, you will efficiently execute the remaining 3 text/ingredient/barcode flavor variations. How to Apply: Please ONLY apply if you have designed physical stand-up pouches in the past. In your cover letter, you must attach 2 to 3 actual pouch packaging examples from your past portfolio showcasing your complex back-of-bag typography and alignment skills. We are online, communicative, and ready to interview and fund the project immediately for the right expert artist.
