Job Description:

Packaging Designer | Homewear & Furniture | Packaging & Graphic Design | Fully Remote - UK Based | Circa £40,000
Forget "designing a pretty box." This isn't that. This is packaging that has to work as hard as the product it protects. We're talking heavy goods. Complex shapes. Fragile yet valuable homewares that demand absolute perfection in how they're presented, protected, and delivered.

You'll live at the intersection of function and brand, part structural problem-solver, part visual storyteller. You'll understand materials, weights, distribution challenges, and the physics of impact. You'll think about fixtures, padding, and durability before you think about colour palettes.You'll appreciate that packaging isn't just a vessel - it's the first physical handshake with the customer.

This IS for you if:

You're an experienced packaging designer who understands heavy goods, homewares, and high-value items.

You can engineer solutions that survive global shipping while still looking premium.

You can add graphics and brand personality to elevate the unboxing experience from "functional" to "memorable."

The challenge:
You'll be responsible for ensuring every customer's first interaction with the brand is flawless. From the moment they lay eyes on their parcel to the second they reveal what's inside. You'll work closely with product teams, logistics, and marketing to deliver packaging that protects, impresses, and represents.

This is your chance to make packaging a strategic advantage, not an afterthought.
