Food Packaging Designer – Final Artwork & Dieline Layout

We are an established artisan bakery in Vancouver, Canada seeking an experienced packaging designer to finalize a pastry box packaging system across three box sizes.
The creative direction is already developed. We have:
• Existing logo and brand assets
• Printer-supplied dielines
• Approved concept mockups
• Detailed creative brief
The design style is modern craft, not luxury pastry packaging. Think premium coffee roaster, contemporary food brand, or modern bakery rather than ornate European bakery design.
The final system uses:
• Warm cream stock
• Bold Sweet Thea red
• Oversized abstract swirl graphic
• Minimal typography
• Red interior treatment
• Production-ready packaging artwork
Deliverables:
• Adapt approved design to 3 supplied dielines
• Create final vector artwork
• Prepare print-ready files
• Packaging mockups for approval

TO APPLY
Please begin your proposal with the words "RED SWIRL" so I know you have read the project description.

In the first sentence of your proposal, please tell me what software you use for packaging dielines and provide one example of a packaging project you personally prepared for production.

Which part of this project is the most important to get right?

Please provide examples of:
• Food packaging
• Coffee / bakery / wine packaging
• Dieline-based packaging projects
Experience with Adobe Illustrator packaging production is essential.
