Packaging Graphic Designer (Remote Work)

Job Summary:

If you are looking for a challenging, rewarding, and fulfilling career, we welcome you to apply for the job below.

Note: This application requires a sample task. Only applicants who were able to complete the sample task will be shortlisted.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build packaging layouts on dielines (boxes, sleeves, labels, inserts, hang tags, stickers) using KeaBabies brand guidelines.
• Apply and format packaging content: approved copy, icons, benefit callouts, charts, barcodes/UPCs, product info, and required markings.
• Prepare print-ready files: correct bleed/safe zones, dieline alignment, CMYK setup, font handling (outline/package), linked images, and export specs.
• Create internal review mockups (clean 2D + simple 3D visuals) for quick approvals.
• Handle packaging updates and versioning quickly (pack count/size changes, language/copy updates, claim changes, retailer/Amazon variants, seasonal refreshes).
• Design occasional full-color packaging boxes for existing products (front/back/sides), keeping hierarchy clear and branding consistent.
• Maintain packaging templates and systems so new SKUs/variations stay consistent (type scale, grids, icon rules, layout logic).
• Organize and deliver final handoff packages to Product Development (clear file naming, folder structure, exports, and “final” version control).

Must-have requirements:

• Packaging design + production experience (consumer goods preferred), with ability to work from dielines.
• Strong understanding of print production basics:

► bleed / safe zone / trim

► CMYK vs RGB

► exporting print-ready PDFs

• High attention to detail (typo-free, aligned layouts, consistent spacing, correct SKUs/info).
• Ability to execute both minimal / limited-ink e-commerce packaging, and full-color box designs for existing products when needed.
• Comfortable with fast iteration + versioning (counts, sizes, copy/claim updates, variants).
• Strong file hygiene: organized layers, naming conventions, clean exports, version control.
• Clear communication and ability to implement feedback quickly in an async remote workflow.
• Capability to use the following tools:

► Adobe Illustrator

► Adobe Photoshop + Acrobat

Nice-to-have, but optional:

• Working knowledge of InDesign
• Experience with Amazon/e-commerce packaging constraints (clarity-first layouts, compliance callouts)

Portfolio requirements:

• Portfolio showing packaging work (ideally includes at least:
• one minimal/limited-ink style layout, and
• one full-color box design)
