Modern Bakery Packaging Design

I’m refreshing the look of my full bakery line and need a designer who can take three products—bread, pastries, and cakes—and wrap them in a cohesive, modern-minimalist aesthetic that’s ready for the printer on day one. I already have a defined brand palette, so every concept must integrate those exact colours while still feeling clean and contemporary.

You’ll be working from scratch: creating dielines where necessary, building out the front, back, and side panels, and supplying press-ready files along with a simple mock-up set I can share with the packaging supplier. Consistency across the three SKU families is crucial; even though the formats differ (think bread bags, pastry sleeves, and cake boxes), they should look unmistakably part of the same brand when they sit together on a shelf.

To keep production smooth, I’ll need:
• Print-ready artwork in CMYK (AI or PDF) with all fonts outlined
• Separate layered source files for future tweaks
• Clear colour call-outs referencing the existing palette (PMS or CMYK values)
• A single-page usage guide that shows spacing, fonts, and colour hierarchy

Let me know if you’ve handled food packaging before, especially projects that moved straight into manufacturing without extra rounds at the printer. If you can share a couple of comparable samples, that will help me lock this in quickly so we can get straight to sketching.
