Premium Food Box Design

I’m looking for a designer who can transform a simple food‐grade carton into packaging that instantly reads premium and high-end. The product is in the food & drink space, so the artwork must balance appetite appeal with an upscale presence that will stand out both on a retail shelf and in e-commerce imagery.

You’ll start from the box dieline (I can supply the rough dimensions or we can refine them together) and develop a complete visual system—color palette, typography, graphic elements, and any finishing suggestions such as foil, soft-touch varnish, or embossing. I’m keen to keep the look elegant and modern rather than loud; think clean lines, confident use of space, and tasteful hierarchy. Brand assets, any mandatory claims, and copy will be provided once we kick off, but your eye for sophisticated detail is what will make the pack sing.

Deliverables
• Print-ready artwork on the final dieline (CMYK, 300 dpi, with bleed and cutter guides)
• Two to three high-quality 3D mock-ups for presentation and online use
• Editable source file (AI preferred) with linked fonts and images

Acceptance Criteria
• Artwork passes a printer’s pre-flight check without modifications
• Mock-ups accurately reflect final colors and finishing effects
• All text remains editable and fonts are either outlined or provided

If you’ve crafted luxury packaging for food or beverages before, especially boxes or cartons, I’d love to see those examples. Let’s give this product the refined shelf presence it deserves.
