Our client, a leading licensing and apparel manufacturer with customers including Costco and Sam's Club, is seeking a Senior Packaging Designer to join their growing in-house creative team. This role is ideal for a seasoned packaging professional who can balance creativity, structure, and production accuracy—while thriving in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. This is a full-time, onsite role, Monday–Friday, in Beverly Hills.

About the Role

As the Senior Packaging Designer, you will lead the development of packaging across apparel, accessories, home, and pet categories—from initial concept to final production. You will be responsible for creating structurally sound, on-brand packaging that meets retailer standards, supports merchandising strategies, and ensures a premium consumer experience.

Key Responsibilities

Packaging Design & Development

  • Own packaging design from concept through production for multiple categories including apparel, accessories, home goods, and pet products.
  • Create detailed dielines, 3D renderings, structural mockups, and visual comps to clearly communicate design intent.
  • Ensure all packaging solutions meet functional requirements, sustainability goals, safety standards, and cost parameters.

Brand Alignment & Consistency

  • Maintain consistency with brand guidelines across multiple product lines and categories.
  • Collaborate closely with Marketing to ensure packaging enhances product storytelling, merchandising, and customer engagement.

    • Production Execution

  • Partner with sourcing teams, overseas vendors, and print partners to ensure accuracy in printing, materials, and color matching.
  • Review and approve pre-production samples, press proofs, and color checks to ensure designs translate seamlessly to physical packaging.
  • Troubleshoot production challenges and proactively offer solutions.

    • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Product Development, Sales, and Operations to align packaging with retailer specifications and internal timelines.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

    • Qualifications

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Packaging Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of packaging design experience —ideally within apparel, consumer goods, or retail.
  • Experience designing for major retailers (Costco, Walmart, Target, Sam's Club) strongly preferred.

    • Technical Skills

  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
  • Strong structural design experience required, with deep knowledge of dielines, materials, and construction.
  • Experience with 3D rendering software (e.g., KeyShot, Cinema 4D, SolidWorks) is a plus.
  • Expert understanding of print production processes, substrates, coatings, and finishing techniques.

    • Core Competencies

  • Highly detail-oriented, with elevated design taste and strong typographic skills.
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration abilities.
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
  • Ability to balance creativity with timelines, budgets, and production constraints.
  • Knowledge of sustainable packaging trends, recyclable materials, and eco-forward design best practices.
