Job Description
THE ROLE
We’re looking for an experienced Creative Artworker to join our growing in-house Creative Team at TRIP. With an expanding portfolio of products across drinks and supplements and ambitions for many more, packaging design is one of our main focus areas and we’d like to bring in someone to own our packaging artwork - from the regular tiny amends on back of pack, to mini refreshes on front of pack, and being a key contributor to NPD concepting as well as liaising with many varied suppliers to ensure the best possible outcomes in production. Whilst a creative eye is essential, this is an artworking role in the majority.
Key responsibilities:
- Packaging Artwork & Production
- Create, adapt, and finalise print-ready packaging artwork across a range of formats (cans, boxes, SRP, pouches, bottles)
- Accurately roll out designs across full ranges of flavours, sizes, and territories, ensuring absolute consistency and precision
- Apply and manage copy, barcodes, legal text, nutrition panels, and regulatory information accurately
- Prepare artwork to meet printer and supplier specifications with particular emphasis on colour management
- Brand & Creative Collaboration
- Collaborate with Brand, Ops and Product teams to create visual mock-ups for NPD concepts that are in-keeping with our established packaging look & feel
- Work closely with designers to interpret creative concepts and ensure they translate effectively into packaging formats
- Act as a guardian of brand guidelines, ensuring all artwork aligns with brand standards
- Quality Control & Approval
- Carry out rigorous artwork checks to ensure accuracy, consistency, and technical compliance (with our technical team)
- Manage internal and external artwork approval processes, amends, and version control
- Liaise with printers and suppliers to resolve technical queries and troubleshoot production issues
- Workflow & Studio Support
- Be an absolute master at maintaining 100% accurate, organised, logical and clear filing structures and artwork archives
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Support continuous improvement of studio processes and best practices
- Press passes
- Attend occasional press passes to approve packaging colours in production as a representative of Team Creative (something we share between us)
ABOUT YOU
You’ll be a meticulous and technically brilliant artworker with an exceptional eye for detail and craft. You’ll have a deep understanding of print production, packaging, and digital artwork, ensuring everything that leaves the studio is beautifully executed to spec. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment, working closely with designers, marketeers, product managers and our operations and technical teams. Calm under pressure, collaborative, and eagle-eyed — you’ll be the guardian of quality, consistency and accuracy in our packaging world.
- Minimum 3-4 years’ experience in a packaging, artwork, or production design role (this is essential)
- Strong knowledge of print and preparing artwork for production
- Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator and Photoshop)
- An insane eye for detail — particularly when working with layout, typography, and technical files
- Ability to juggle multiple projects at once
- Comfortable working with brand guidelines and structured templates
- A collaborative mindset and good communication skills
- Nice to have
- Experience in food, drinks, or supplements
- Familiarity with packaging or labelling regulations
- Experience working across a large product range
- Experience with POS artwork
We welcome applications from all qualified candidates. Please note that you’ll need to have the existing right to work in the UK, as we’re not able to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
