Job description

Who we are

At San International, packaging is not just a box, it’s the first touchpoint of our story. We believe every unboxing should feel like opening a world of elegance, individuality, and giftability. From watches to handbags, fragrance to fashion, our mission is to design packaging experiences that don’t just protect products but make people fall in love with them before they even try them on.

If you’re passionate about turning ideas into experiences and believe that packaging can be as emotional and iconic as the product itself, you’ll find your place with us.

Make an impact

As a Packaging Experience Designer at San, you’ll craft the first impression of our brands. Your designs will transform packaging into a storytelling tool – one that makes products feel elegant, giftable, and unforgettable.

From the ribbon to the unboxing flow, every detail you design will play a role in creating a deeper connection between our customers and our lifestyle brands. You’ll bridge creativity, functionality, and scalability, ensuring packaging can inspire at scale while staying true to San’s DNA of newness, individuality, and elegance.

What will you do

• Design packaging experiences that elevate every product into a giftable moment.
• Develop creative concepts that blend aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality.
• Collaborate with product, marketing, and supply chain teams to align packaging with campaign storytelling and fast-fashion timelines.
• Create repeatable yet inspiring packaging systems that can scale across collections.
• Research and introduce innovative packaging materials and techniques.
• Test and refine the unboxing experience to ensure it feels seamless, emotional, and premium.
• Ensure packaging reflects San’s brand values: affordable luxury, limited uniqueness, and emotionally close experiences.

Your skills

• 2+ years in packaging design, product experience, or brand experience roles.
• Strong creative vision with a detail-oriented mindset.
• Familiar with design tools (Illustrator, Photoshop, or similar).
• Knowledge of materials, printing, and sustainable packaging trends.
• Ability to balance fast-fashion speed with premium quality.
• A creative soul who sees packaging not just as design, but as storytelling.
• Someone who can turn a simple box into an unforgettable unboxing journey.
• A self-starter who thrives in a dynamic, trend-driven environment.
