Senior Packaging Production Designer

WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It's at the core of why we do what we do at ALO-it's our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That's the real meaning of studio-to-street : taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

OVERVIEW

At ALO, packaging is more than a container - it's an extension of our brand's story of mindful movement and luxury wellness. As the Senior Packaging Production Designer, you'll be the guardian of precision and beauty at scale, transforming design intent into flawless mechanicals and specifications that uphold our brand's elevated standards. This role is about marrying technical excellence with creative vision, ensuring every unboxing moment reflects the care and detail we put into our products.

Elevate the Details : Bring packaging concepts to life through meticulously crafted dielines, productionready mechanicals, and flawless print files across our portfolio - from rigid boxes to mailers, hangtags, garment bags, and beyond.

Craft Specifications : Develop detailed spec sheets and BOMs that clearly articulate materials, finishes, and assembly, ensuring every element is premium and precise.

Champion Print Excellence : Own prepress quality - from trapping and varnishes to foils and color separations - ensuring our packaging shines both on shelf and in hand.

Master Color & Finish : Safeguard our brand palette with impeccable color management and finish standards, reviewing drawdowns and press pulls to maintain consistency across every touchpoint.

Ensure Precision & Order : Maintain a clean, organized dieline / spec library and master component matrix, creating a reliable foundation for speed and scalability.

Collaborate with Partners : Partner with vendors to bring concepts into reality, reviewing prototypes, giving clear direction, and ensuring quality control through production.

Clear communicator and thoughtful partner to designers, vendors, and cross-functional teams.

Proactive in streamlining workflows and maintaining organized systems that support growth and scale.
