Graphic Designer Needed to Design Custom Shipping Box Graphics (template provided)

Description

We are looking for a graphic designer with packaging experience to design graphics for a custom shipping box used to distribute printed materials to retail locations.

The box structure and template will be provided, so this project is focused on creative graphic design for the box surfaces and interior instructions, not structural packaging engineering.

The goal is to create a clean, professional box design that prints well on corrugated cardboard and clearly communicates how recipients should handle the contents.

Scope of Work

The designer will

• Design exterior box graphics that work well when printed on cardboard
• Ensure the design is optimized for corrugated printing (contrast, ink usage, readability)
• Create simple instructions for the recipient explaining how to unpack and return the contents

Instructions may be presented either

• Printed on the inside of the box lid, or
• As a separate instruction sheet included inside the box

We are open to recommendations on the best approach.

Deliverables

• Completed design using the template
• Exterior box graphics
• Interior instruction design (lid design or insert)
• Print-ready files compatible with our printer
• Source files (Illustrator / PSD / etc.)

Ideal Candidate

You should have experience with

• Packaging or shipping box design
• Working with dieline templates
• Designing for corrugated cardboard printing
• Creating clear visual instructions

Bonus if you have experience designing subscription boxes or retail shipping packaging.
