Job description

Mock-Up Artist – Luxury Packaging & Cosmetics

Location: Park Royal, North West London

Salary: Circa £45,000 (depending on experience)

Hours: Flexible daytime shifts, Monday to Friday

Are you a practical, hands-on creative who loves making things look perfect?

Do you take pride in craftsmanship, precision and finish?

We’re working with a specialist London packaging studio that produces high‑end, photo‑ready mock‑ups for some of the world’s most recognisable luxury cosmetic brands. These are the pieces agencies and global names use for product launches, campaigns and approvals.

They now need a skilled, hands‑on Mock‑Up Artist to join their team.

What you’ll do

Build and finish physical packaging mock‑ups — bottles, cartons, tubes and luxury packs.

Carry out spraying and paint finishing, carefully colour matching to replicate final production standards.

Apply transfers / decals and labels to achieve flawless, production‑ready surfaces.

Cut, trim, assemble and dress packs to a professional standard.

Use tools, sprays, adhesives and finishing techniques — this is not a desk‑based or digital role.

Manage multiple projects at once while maintaining exceptional quality.

What you’ll bring

Previous practical experience in mock‑ups, model making, packaging finishing or a similar craft‑based role.

Confidence using spray equipment, paints and finishes; strong colour matching ability.

Steady hands and precision when applying transfers, decals or labels.

A passion for craftsmanship and producing work to a production‑ready standard.

Ability to work accurately under time pressure and meet tight deadlines.

A collaborative mindset, comfortable working within a creative production team.

Why join

Be part of a craft‑led studio where your work will be used by prestigious cosmetic and luxury brands.

Contribute to refining spraying and transfer techniques, bringing your own expertise to the team.

Work on high‑profile packaging projects seen in global campaigns and launches.

Join a respected, well‑established studio known for excellence in packaging mock‑ups.

Enjoy daytime working hours (Monday to Friday) with a competitive salary package.

If you enjoy making, spraying, finishing and perfecting – and want to see your work in front of world‑leading brands – this is an opportunity to do just that.
