I have been a graphic designer for over 40 years. My varied experience has allowed me to develop skills well beyond the basic design and production services. When I went to college, computer graphics were not an option - I learned the old school way. This included a lot of design theory which isn't as well covered in today's tech courses that largely focus on software proficiency. I was a computer graphics pioneer. I began doing computer graphics as a regular part of my job in 1984 when my employer bought one of the first Macs. I got that little machine to do things that the software designers didn't even know were possible. Computers...

How to Hire Top Packaging Designers

How to hire packaging designers

From protecting your product to advertising it on store shelves to informing the customer how to use it, packaging serves multiple functions. Packaging designers can help you create quality packaging for your products.

So how do you hire packaging designers? What follows are some tips for finding top packaging designers on Upwork.

How to shortlist packaging design professionals

As you’re browsing available packaging design consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a packaging designer who understands your industry so they can design packaging that meets industry requirements.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., graphic design skills for creating labels).
  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular packaging designer.

How to write an effective packaging design job post

With a clear picture of your ideal packaging designer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective packaging design job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From label layout to CAD files, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or design tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

PACKAGING DESIGNERS FAQ

What is packaging design?

Packaging design is the 3D design of the physical enclosure that will protect your product.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in packaging design professionals:

  • Packaging design
  • Label design
  • CAD (computer-aided design) tools such as SolidWorks
  • Graphic design

Why hire packaging designers?

The trick to finding top packaging designers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to draft an engineering drawing of some custom packaging to specific industry standards? Will your designer also need graphic design skills to design the logo and typography on your label? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a packaging designer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced packaging designer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A freelancer who is still in the process of building a client base may price their packaging design services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
