Packaging Graphic Designer

Vorex Packaging is a custom packaging studio for brands in the USA and Canada, with offices in Abingdon, MD and Brampton, ON. Customers tell us what they sell and how it ships; our specialists handle the quote, place the artwork on the dieline and send a digital proof. Nothing prints until the customer approves it. Our production partner then prints, converts and ships the order.

We make mailer boxes, folding cartons, rigid gift boxes, bags, labels and other printed packaging.

We are looking for a freelance packaging graphic designer to turn customer logos and artwork into print-ready packaging files and clear proofs. Work comes in per order, so this is a remote contract role paid by the hour or per design.

• Place customer logos and artwork on box dielines for mailer boxes, folding cartons, rigid boxes, bags and labels.
• Prepare print-ready files: CMYK or Pantone colours, correct bleed and safe areas, and separate layers for foil, embossing/debossing and spot UV.
• Make 3D box mockups and short spin videos that customers review with their digital proof.
• Vectorise customer logos supplied as low-resolution images.
• Follow each customer's brand guidelines (colours, fonts, logo spacing).
• Turn requests around the same or next business day.

• A portfolio that shows packaging work on real dielines.
• Strong Adobe Illustrator skills, plus one 3D mockup tool such as Blender, Esko Studio, Pacdora or similar.
• Good written English.
• A few hours a day of overlap with US Eastern time.
• Based in the USA; the Washington DC area and the New York City area are preferred.

• Food or bakery packaging experience.
• Rigid gift box work.
• Product imagery for Shopify or other e-commerce stores.

• Fully remote. You work from home anywhere in the United States.
• Contract work: you invoice us for the work you do; this is not an employee position with benefits.
• Work arrives with real customer orders, so volume moves with demand. We tell you honestly how much there is.
• We talk in writing (email and shared files) with a few hours of overlap with US Eastern time.
