We’re looking for a talented Packaging Designer to join our fast-moving, multi-brand creative team for a 6-8 week contract role.
This role is perfect for someone who loves translating brand identity into physical form—and who understands how great packaging can drive both conversion and customer experience. You’ll lead packaging design and production across multiple brands, ensuring every box, insert, label, and retail display is beautiful, compliant, and manufactured with precision. You will work closely with Creative, Merchandising, and Supply Chain teams, and collaborate directly with packaging vendors to ensure designs are print-ready, color-accurate, consistent, and optimized for production.
Design and update packaging for Miracle Made, GIR, and Onsen products (boxes, inserts, labels, retail display packaging, etc.)
Collaborate with Creative Director to apply and evolve each brand's visual language across physical packaging
Prepare and deliver fully production-ready files to manufacturing partners (dielines, bleeds, color builds, finishes, etc.)
Recommend production methods, materials, coatings, and finishes that enhance perceived product value while staying cost-conscious
Review press sheets, samples, and pre-production prototypes and provide annotated feedback
3–6+ years of experience in packaging design and production for DTC, retail, or consumer goods brands (home goods experience a plus)
~ Expert knowledge of print production workflows, color management (CMYK, Pantone), dielines, substrates, finishes, and vendor file handoff
~ Strong understanding of how packaging drives brand perception, education, and customer experience
~ Ability to balance aesthetic craft with production practicality, ensuring files are both beautiful and manufacturable
~ Highly organized, detail-obsessed, and consistent with file hygiene and version control
~ Experienced in managing multiple projects and product lines in a fast-paced environment
~ Able to follow and evolve brand guidelines to ensure packaging assets are cohesive and on-brand
~ Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign; Comfortable working with project and communication tools such as Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, etc.
~ Contract would span a 6-8 week timeline. $30-$40 CAD per hour.
