Midweight Packaging Designer

We’re working with a growing toy company who are looking for a Midweight Packaging Designer to join their busy design team.

A toy company that supplies UK and International retailers with some major brand names and they’re entering another growth phase. They work 5 days per week from their studio in Manchester.

This is an end to end Packaging Design role - they need someone who can work from concept through to artwork and print-ready production, not just making it "look nice" but executing it flawlessly and accurately. You’ll create and finalise packaging artwork across multiple SKU’s, create print ready files (CMYK, pantone, dielines, factory specs) as well as designing POS, instruction manuals and other retail materials.

You’ll also support on character graphics and product surface design.

We’re looking for someone with 2+ years’ experience in Packaging Design and Artwork, either agency or inhouse. You’ll have solid experience of packaging production techniques, have excellent layout and typographic skills, as well as a sharp eye for detail. You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-paced commercial design team.

We are committed to improving diversity, equity and inclusion within the sectors we serve. We encourage applications for this role from all backgrounds and communities and offer equal opportunities to all candidates regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age, and any other protected status. Should you require any reasonable adjustments at any point in the recruitment process we are very happy to discuss and work with you to accommodate these.
