About the Role

As a Product Packaging Designer, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality, creative packaging solutions across our own label product range. Working closely with buying, marketing, and supplier teams, you’ll ensure packaging not only looks great but is functional, compliant, and aligned with brand strategy.

You will also be proactive in staying ahead of design trends and sustainability practices, ensuring your work adds value and supports wider business goals.

You will also have:

  • Proven experience in packaging design, ideally within retail, FMCG, or own label environments
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
  • Solid understanding of packaging production processes, materials, and print specifications
