Entry-Level Structural Packaging Designer

Job Description

Job Description

Job Summary :

We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented, and eager-to-learn Entry-Level Structural Packaging Designer to join our team in the corrugated packaging industry. In this role, you’ll design custom corrugated packaging solutions that are functional, feasible, cost-effective, and align with client branding and shipping requirements.

You will collaborate closely with graphic designers, sales teams, prepress technicians, and production staff to bring packaging concepts to life—from concept through to print. This is an excellent opportunity for a new designer to gain hands-on experience in packaging layout, structural development, and the technical aspects of corrugated design within a fast-paced, supportive environment.

In the future, this role will grow to become a hybrid graphics / structure packaging designer position. Your main focus will be structure, but you will be cross trained over time in graphic design and Adobe software to assist in optimizing workflow when needed as backup. In this expanded role, you will learn to create and prepare high-quality packaging artwork that aligns with customer branding, production requirements, and printing specifications to ensure that packaging meets both aesthetic and technical standards.

Key Responsibilities :

• Develop packaging designs that meet customer requirements while following structural, manufacturing, and production guidelines, with an understanding of how 2D dielines translate into 3D structures.
• Learn and apply company and industry standards related to corrugated packaging design and manufacturing.
• Design of structural corrugated packaging solutions, including boxes, retail-ready packaging, and displays.
• Apply knowledge of corrugated materials, board grades, and basic manufacturing processes to create practical, manufacturable designs with sustainability in mind.
• Collaborate with sales, graphics, customer service, and production teams to ensure packaging solutions are accurate, feasible, and consistent.
• Assist with creating prototypes, samples, and mockups to support customer review and testing.
• Prepare, update, organize, and help maintain design files and file versioning, specifications, and documentation in accordance with company standards.
• Participate in customer discussions or site visits, as needed, to better understand packaging requirements and production environments.
• Develop customer-facing technical documentation or instructions to support packaging setup and production accuracy.
• Participate in internal reviews and help implement feedback from team members or customers.
