We work across licensed international brands and our own-label collections, combining trend insight, strong product design, and the latest production technologies to deliver commercially successful ranges tailored to each brand’s core customer.

With a passion for great design and a strong reputation within retail, we manage the full journey from concept to customer - designing, supplying, promoting, and distributing product worldwide.

About the Role

We are looking for a creative and detail-driven Packaging Designer to support the visual identity of our hosiery, underwear, and loungewear collections.

This role focuses on designing packaging, gift boxes, branding assets, and FSDUs that are visually compelling, on-brand, and fully production-ready for retail environments. You will work closely with internal teams and overseas suppliers to ensure packaging is both commercially effective and technically accurate.

The ideal candidate combines strong creative thinking with technical packaging knowledge, understands apparel retail, and can translate brand stories into functional, high-quality printed packaging.

• Collaborate with production, merchandising, and sourcing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, and fit for retail
