Paire is looking for a creative and detail-oriented Packaging Development Intern for a paid, three-month internship, working two days a week at Paire HQ in South Melbourne.

Working closely with our Design Lead, you’ll help develop on-brand packaging from initial concepts and material research through to specification packs, samples and print-ready artwork.

About Paire

Founded in Melbourne, Paire creates high-tech everyday essentials using cutting-edge materials. We focus on exceptional comfort, thoughtful design and reducing our impact on the planet.

We believe packaging should be considered as carefully as the product itself: functional, distinctive and unmistakably Paire.

What You’ll Do

- Develop packaging concepts and artwork with our Design Lead
- Create packaging design files and apply artwork to approved dielines
- Produce packaging specification packs covering dimensions, materials, colours, finishes and construction
- Prepare accurate print-ready artwork in line with supplier requirements
- Create mock-ups and prototypes for review
- Review samples and proofs, then make required revisions
- Adapt packaging across products, colours, sizes and SKUs while maintaining brand consistency

Projects may include product boxes, mailers, swing tags, care labels, barcode stickers, inserts and other retail or e-commerce packaging.

About You

- Interested in dielines, print production and packaging development
- Organised, detail-oriented and receptive to feedback
- Able to work independently and collaborate closely with a small team

Previous professional packaging experience is not required. We care most about your design thinking, attention to detail, willingness to learn and the quality of your portfolio.

What You’ll Gain

- Hands-on experience across packaging development and production
- Experience creating specification packs and print-ready artwork
- Exposure to materials, suppliers, sampling and proofing
- Meaningful, portfolio-ready work for a growing Australian clothing brand
