Package & Brand Designer – E-Commerce Consumer Product (Packaging, Collateral + Ongoing Future Work)

About Us: We are an innovative, premium Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) lifestyle and home consumer goods brand preparing for an official commercial launch in mid-August 2026. Our products feature unique, proprietary structural engineering designed to optimize space, utility, and aesthetic appeal for modern home environments. We have successfully completed our manufacturing sample validation phase and are now moving rapidly toward production and brand launch. The Role: We are seeking an exceptionally talented, detail-oriented Graphic & Packaging Designer to create the visual identity for our unboxing experience and core brand collateral. Because our brand focuses heavily on a minimalist, premium aesthetic, our packaging must reflect that luxury standard from the moment it arrives on a customer's doorstep. Initially, this project encompasses our primary exterior product packaging and internal brand collateral, but we are looking for a go-to creative partner who can help us design future catalog expansions, product instruction inserts, and digital brand assets as we scale. Initial Scope of Work: 1. Shipping/Product Box Design: Develop the exterior and interior artwork for our shipping box. Must align with structural dielines provided by our manufacturer, ensuring typography, branding placement, and instructions are sleek, modern, and high-end. 2. Brand Insertion Card: Design a double-sided premium welcome/thank-you card that sits inside the box. This will include brand storytelling, standard care/handling instructions, and a visual call-to-action inviting users to share their unboxing experience on social media. 3. Asset Delivery: Provide fully layered, print-ready vector source files (AI, EPS, high-res PDF) built to precise CMYK specifications with bleed, margin, and fold guidelines. Future Scope (Ongoing Relationship): - Designing layout patterns and graphic aesthetics for upcoming product lines and seasonal catalog drops. - Designing structural digital instruction sheets and ongoing branded collateral. What We Are Looking For: - Proven Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating beautiful, minimal, modern, or luxury consumer packaging design (please include links or attachments). - Print Specification Expert: Complete fluency in working with manufacturing dielines, print tolerances, spot colors, and preparing bulletproof files for external print houses. - Commercial Mindset: An understanding of DTC branding—knowing how to make an unboxing experience look incredibly premium to encourage organic customer sharing. - Communication: Fast, clear communication, openness to constructive feedback rounds, and strict adherence to deadlines. To Apply, Please Provide: 1. A brief overview of your experience with packaging design and your familiarity with manufacturing files. 2. Examples of packaging projects you have completed that best reflect a clean, high-end consumer aesthetic. 3. Your estimated turnaround time for a project of this scope. 4. Your favorite consumer brand unboxing experience and why it stood out to you. Thank you!
