Beyond Labels- a sister company of AES is looking for a hands-on, creatively driven Packaging Designer & Artwork Specialist who will act as the central connector (“spider in the web”) for all packaging-related creative work. In this role, you will own the full packaging journey for our household and cosmetic products — from initial concept development to visual design to final print production. This position combines creativity, technical understanding, and cross-functional coordination. You will have a full impact on the final outcome of the product. You do not only design packaging but also shape visual direction, define colors and print techniques, write packaging copy, and manage the artwork process through to factory production. (Note: you are not in charge of the DTP, this will be outsourced) The role offers a certain level of ownership and autonomy: you will be trusted to make decisions across design, artwork, and packaging execution. At the same time, you will work within a collaborative environment where you can rely on the knowledge, feedback, and support of the wider team. This position offers opportunities for professional development under the guidance of more experienced team members. Curiosity & eagernessCreative Concept & DesignSupport the development of creative packaging conceptsTranslate ideas into strong visual packaging designsDefine color schemes, typography, and visual stylePackaging DevelopmentSelect and work with packaging formats provided by suppliersEvaluate materials, finishes, and print techniquesEnsure designs balance creativity, functionality, and feasibilityCopy & MessagingWrite and refine creative texts for packagingEnsure alignment with brand voice and product positioningCollaborate with relevant producers on claims and messagingArtwork & Production ManagementManage the design-to-artwork workflow from start to finishCoordinate technical requirements with suppliers and printersOversee revisions, approvals, and final production assetsCheck and validate print-ready artwork filesSupplier & Quality AlignmentWork closely with packaging suppliers, production partners and quality.Align designs with technical constraints and specificationsAct as the key contact between creative and production teamsEnd-to-End OwnershipTake responsibility for the entire packaging process from A to ZMake informed design and production decisionsProactively identify and resolve potential issues Required Skills & ExperienceEducation or training in graphic design, visual communication, or related fieldBasic proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)Strong eye for layout, typography, and compositionHigh attention to detail and willingness to learn new roles in the processAbility to follow guidelines and implement feedbackGood communication and teamwork skills Nice to HaveBackground in graphic design / printExperience with packaging regulations or labeling requirementsExperience in FMCG, retail, cosmetics, food & beverage, or similar industriesPlease send your CV to info@beyondlabels.eu and include the job title in the subject line.
