Graphic Designer (Packaging & Merch)

We're looking for a Graphic Designer to create packaging and merchandise designs for food and beverage brands at a vertically integrated CPG development firm. You will work directly on the visual output that goes on shelves, on products, and on branded merchandise for a range of emerging and established beverage and CPG brands.

This is a hands-on production role. You need to understand print specifications, packaging dielines, and how to design for physical products rather than just screens. If you have strong design fundamentals, experience in food and beverage or CPG packaging, and can move quickly between brand projects without losing quality, this role is a strong fit.

You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)

Observance of Holidays per company guidelines

100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive

Work on real CPG brands from concept through production-ready files

Be part of a minority-owned firm with a strong mission and a growing client roster

What You'll Work On

Packaging Design

Design packaging for food and beverage products including labels, cans, bottles, boxes, and pouches

Work from brand briefs and develop concepts through to print-ready production files

Apply strong layout, typography, and hierarchy principles to packaging formats

Ensure all designs meet print specifications, dieline requirements, and production standards

Collaborate with the team on revisions and iteration through the client approval process

Merchandise Design

Design branded merchandise including apparel, accessories, promotional items, and retail-ready products

Adapt brand identities across a range of merchandise formats and substrates

Deliver production-ready files formatted for the relevant print or manufacturing process

Brand and Visual Support

Maintain visual consistency across all design deliverables for each brand

Support brand identity work including logos, color systems, and typography when needed

Organize and manage design files and assets in a clean, accessible system

What You Bring

Proven experience designing packaging for food, beverage, or CPG brands

Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite including Illustrator and Photoshop

Understanding of print production, dielines, bleed, and packaging specifications

Experience designing for both packaging and merchandise formats

Strong eye for typography, layout, and brand-consistent design

Ability to manage multiple brand projects simultaneously and deliver clean, production-ready files

Organized file management habits and attention to detail

Nice to Have

Experience working with emerging or startup CPG brands

Familiarity with Figma for collaborative design workflows

Background in consumer goods, retail, or brand licensing

Experience designing for minority-owned or culturally driven brands

How to Apply

Please include:

Your updated resume

A portfolio link showing at least 4 to 6 examples of packaging and merchandise design work across more than one brand or product category

A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, walking through one packaging project you are proud of, and describing how you approached the design from brief to production-ready file

Only candidates who submit both a portfolio and Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you design for physical products, understand what it takes to get a package from concept to shelf, and want to work on a diverse range of CPG brands, this role gives you the creative scope and the direct client impact to do your best work.
