This role is about marrying technical excellence with creative vision, ensuring every unboxing moment reflects the care and detail we put into our products.

Responsibilities

• Elevate the Details: Bring packaging concepts to life through meticulously crafted dielines, productionready mechanicals, and flawless print files across our portfolio — from rigid boxes to mailers, hangtags, garment bags, and beyond.
• Craft Specifications: Develop detailed spec sheets and BOMs that clearly articulate materials, finishes, and assembly, ensuring every element is premium and precise.
• Champion Print Excellence: Own prepress quality — from trapping and varnishes to foils and color separations — ensuring our packaging shines both on shelf and in hand.
• Master Color & Finish: Safeguard our brand palette with impeccable color management and finish standards, reviewing drawdowns and press pulls to maintain consistency across every touchpoint.
• Ensure Precision & Order: Maintain a clean, organized dieline/spec library and master component matrix, creating a reliable foundation for speed and scalability.
• Collaborate with Partners: Partner with vendors to bring concepts into reality, reviewing prototypes, giving clear direction, and ensuring quality control through production.
• Drive Efficiency with Creativity: Streamline processes, build templates, and reduce proof cycles — making room for more creativity while saving time and resources.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years experience in packaging production or prepress for premium or luxury consumer brands.
• Technical expertise in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, with the ability to adapt to new design and production tools as needed.
• Ability to create basic 3D renderings or mockups that help visualize packaging form, structure, and finish for internal review and vendor communication.
• Deep understanding of print processes, substrates, finishing techniques, and mechanical construction.
• Exceptional eye for precision, proportion, and craft.
• Clear communicator and thoughtful partner to designers, vendors, and cross-functional teams.
• Proactive in streamlining workflows and maintaining organized systems that support growth and scale.
• Bonus Points: Familiarity with structural design, prepress, or packaging workflow tools (e.g., Esko, ArtiosCAD, or similar) and experience supporting sustainability-driven packaging initiatives.
