Full Job Description

Description:

Description

Designs and engineers structural packaging solutions using corrugate and folding carton substrates, translating customer requirements and product specifications into buildable, cost-effective packaging designs. Develops dielines, structural drawings, and prototypes while partnering with sales, estimating, prepress, and production teams to ensure designs meet performance and production requirements.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Designs and engineers corrugated and carton packaging structures using structural CAD software (e.g., ArtiosCAD), partnering with sales and estimating teams to translate customer requirements into manufacturable, cost-effective packaging solutions that meet performance specifications.
Creates dielines, structural drawings, and physical prototypes for corrugated boxes, folding cartons, point-of-purchase displays, and specialty packaging.
Develops, assembles, and tests physical samples to validate structural integrity, print registration, and functionality prior to production release.
Works closely with prepress, die-making, and production teams to ensure designs translate accurately through printing, die-cutting, and finishing.
Conducts package testing (compression, drop, vibration) to confirm designs meet industry standards (ISTA, ASTM) and customer requirements.
Identifies opportunities to optimize material usage, reduce cost, and improve the sustainability of packaging designs.
Maintains a library of standard dielines, specifications, and structural templates for reuse across projects.
Troubleshoots structural or production issues on existing packaging designs and recommends corrective actions.
Collaborates with die suppliers and vendors on tooling specifications and lead times.
Stays current on packaging trends, materials, and manufacturing capabilities across corrugate and carton substrates.
Reads and interprets customer specifications, artwork, and technical drawings to ensure designs meet all requirements before release to production.
Train junior packaging designers, drafters, or interns on structural design standards and processes.
Coordinates design workflow and priorities with the sample room and structural design team.
Performs other duties as requested.
