Job Description

C and B Manufacturing PTY LTD – Clayton South VIC

n

Packaging artwork with flexibility and real ownership

n

Slipstick is looking for an experienced Packaging & Production Artwork Designer to join our production team on a permanent part-time basis.

n

This is a practical, detail-focused role working across Photoshop image preparation, retail packaging, print-ready artwork, product photography, instructions and online product imagery.

n

Slipstick develops and sells furniture protection, floor protection, anti-slip and related consumer products through major retailers and online marketplaces in Australia, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.

n

About the role

n

Much of our packaging already has established templates, branding and layouts. Your role will involve accurately updating, adapting and preparing artwork for different products, retailers, packaging suppliers and international markets.

n

Advanced practical Photoshop capability is particularly significant. You will regularly prepare, retouch and manage product images for packaging, websites, Amazon and other online marketplaces.

n

During an initial structured transition, you will work alongside our experienced long-term designer, who will train you in Slipstick's products, packaging templates, artwork files and print-production requirements.

n

Over time, we want the successful person to develop detailed knowledge of our product range and take ownership of Slipstick's day-to-day artwork and production files.

n

Hours and flexibility

n

This is a permanent part-time position for 24 hours per week, ideally worked as four six-hour days.

n

There is some flexibility around the particular weekdays and starting and finishing times, and a school-hours arrangement may suit the role well.

n

The position will initially be based onsite at our Clayton South premises so you can work directly with our designer and production team during the transition.

n

Some remote work may be considered later,



once you are fully trained and able to manage the work independently.

n

n
- Editing, retouching, masking, clipping and colour-correcting product images in Adobe Photoshop.

About you

You may be an experienced finished artist, production artwork specialist, packaging artwork designer or graphic designer with strong production and prepress capability.

You will enjoy detailed, practical artwork and take pride in producing accurate files that are properly prepared for printing and production.
