Julia I.
Packaging Designer & Illustrator | 12+ Yrs | Labels | Dielines
For over twelve years I've designed packaging that gets products noticed — whether that's on a retail shelf, in an e-commerce thumbnail, or unboxed in someone's hands. My background spans both the visual and technical sides of packaging, so what I deliver is ready to go to print without surprises. I work across the full spectrum of packaging aesthetics - from bold, detailed illustration-driven designs to refined, clean minimalism. Whatever direction fits your brand, I build it from the ground up. ☑️ PACKAGING & LABEL DESIGN Custom dielines for any shape or format — boxes, pouches, bottles, tubes, sleeves, and more. I set files up correctly for premium finishes like foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV, so the print side is handled before it even reaches the printer. ☑️ ILLUSTRATION FOR PACKAGING I create original artwork built specifically for packaging — hand-drawn from scratch, AI-assisted and fully reworked by hand, or a combination of both. No stock. No raw AI output dropped into a file. Every illustration is finished to a professional standard and made to work within the structure and constraints of the package itself. Illustrations can be commissioned as a standalone deliverable or as part of a full packaging project. ☑️ STRUCTURAL DIELINES Precise dielines for any packaging format, built with production in mind. Whether you need a custom structure or a clean adaptation of a standard form, I handle the technical setup so manufacturing goes smoothly. ☑️ PRINT-READY FILES Bleeds, color profiles, separation layers, die-cut marks — all handled in-house. I work to printer specifications so you don't end up going back and forth with production. WHAT YOU GET: ▪️ Packaging and label design (bold, illustrative or minimal — your direction) ▪️ Custom illustration for packaging, standalone or integrated ▪️ Structural dielines for any format ▪️ Pre-press setup for premium finishes (foil, embossing, spot UV) ▪️ Brand identity and guidelines ▪️ Marketplace listing images and A+ content If you need packaging that looks like it was designed for your brand — and files that go to production without a single revision request from the printer — let's talk.
