About the Company

We are India's leading network of 110+ K‑12 schools. With large‑scale printing and distribution of textbooks, learning kits, uniforms/merchandise, and marketing collaterals, we are building a best‑in‑class packaging function to improve protection, sustainability, cost, and brand experience.

Role Summary

Own the end‑to‑end design and development of primary, secondary, and transit packaging for books, learning/STEM kits, school merchandise, and marketing materials. You will translate briefs into functional, cost‑effective, and brand‑aligned packaging—covering structure, materials, artwork readiness, prototyping, testing, vendor hand‑off, and quality control.

Key Responsibilities

- Balance usability, protection in transit, and shelf/unboxing experience.

Materials & Sustainability

- Select substrates (SBS/FBB, kraft/corrugated grades, duplex board, microflute, eco‑friendly plastics/paper alternatives, foams/inserts) and finishes (lamination, varnish, foiling, emboss/deboss).
- Drive recyclability, right‑weighting, and waste reduction.

Artwork & Pre‑Press Readiness

- Create/validate dielines, keylines, bleed/trapping, color specs (Pantone/CMYK), barcodes/QRs, and labeling compliance (as applicable).
- Collaborate with Brand/Content teams to adapt graphics to structural constraints.

Prototyping, Testing & Validation

- Build rapid mock‑ups; conduct transit/stack/compression tests and line trials with vendors.
- Maintain packaging specs/BOMs and approval records.

Vendor Collaboration & Costing

- Brief and evaluate converters/printers; compare quotations, optimize specifications for scale.
- Support Procurement in vendor audits, AMC/SLAs, and cost‑saving initiatives without quality loss.

Quality & Compliance

- Define QC checklists, AQL sampling, and incoming inspection standards; resolve NCRs/field issues with CAPA.
- Ensure safety standards for school environments; adhere to applicable Indian packaging/labeling norms.

Project & Stakeholder Management

- Plan timelines, manage change requests, and ensure on‑time launches for admission seasons and academic cycles.
- Partner with Supply Chain for pack‑out efficiency, palletisation, and warehouse ergonomics.

Required Qualifications & Skills

- Degree/Diploma from the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) or equivalent in Packaging/Printing/Industrial Design.
- 5+ years hands‑on experience in structural/package design and development (cartons, corrugation, mailers, inserts).
- Proficiency with ArtiosCAD/Esko, Adobe Illustrator/InDesign/Photoshop; working knowledge of 3D visualization (nice to have).
- Strong knowledge of paper/board grades, corrugation, print processes (offset/digital/flexo), and finishing.
- Practical exposure to pre‑press, color management, dielines, and print QA.
- Data‑driven, detail‑oriented, with excellent vendor coordination and costing skills.
