We're looking for an experienced Packaging Production Artist to support the rollout of a major rebrand for a consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand. This is a great opportunity if you're looking for part-time work for the next month or so. 

 

The team is preparing new product flavours for market, with separate Canadian and U.S. versions of each. 

 

This is a hands-on production role for someone who knows packaging inside and out and can ensure every file is accurate, polished, and completely print-ready.

 

What You'll Do

  • Prepare final packaging artwork for print across different product versions
  • Produce separate Canadian and U.S. versions for each flavour
  • Build and finalize production-ready packaging files
  • Ensure dielines, bleeds, crop marks, spacing, alignment, and other production specifications are accurate
  • Review files closely for small layout, spacing, and formatting inconsistencies
  • Make production adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the new brand system
  • Ensure consistency across the full family of packaging
  • Conduct thorough quality-control checks before files are released for print
  • Collaborate remotely with the creative team to incorporate feedback and finalize artwork

 

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience as a Packaging Production Artist, Production Designer, or Graphic Production Artist
  • Hands-on experience preparing consumer packaging for print
  • Strong understanding of dielines, bleeds, crop marks, prepress, and print-production requirements
  • Exceptional attention to detail-you naturally catch the small spacing, alignment, and layout issues others may miss
  • Comfortable versioning and adapting artwork across multiple SKUs
  • Able to work efficiently and accurately across a high volume of related assets
  • Comfortable working within established brand guidelines and applying a new visual identity consistently
  • Highly organized, dependable, and able to work independently in a remote environment

 

We look forward to hearing from you.
