About the Opportunity

A well-established industrial print, signage, and packaging production business based in Pretoria is seeking a technically strong Industrial Graphic Designer to join its production-focused creative team.

This is not a traditional graphic design role — the position requires someone who understands real-world production, materials, packaging structures, and printing processes, and who can produce accurate, production-ready artwork that moves seamlessly into manufacturing.

You will work closely with production teams to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and ready for immediate output on industrial printing equipment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a designer who enjoys working at the intersection of design and manufacturing, where precision and efficiency are just as important as creativity.

Key Responsibilities

• Design production-ready artwork for signage, packaging, license plates, banners, boxes, and marketing materials.
• Develop structural packaging designs, including dielines, folds, dimensions, and material specifications.
• Prepare artwork files correctly for production, including colour profiles, bleed settings, and print-ready formatting.
• Collaborate with production and sales teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and efficient.
• Maintain brand consistency and design quality across all outputs.
• Edit images and support the creation of visual assets for marketing materials.
• Manage multiple design projects while meeting tight production deadlines.
• Ensure accuracy and minimise material waste through proper design setup.

Requirements

• Minimum 3+ years’ experience in industrial graphic design or print production design.
• Strong proficiency in:
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe InDesign
  • Adobe Photoshop
• Experience designing packaging, dielines, signage or large-format print artwork.
• Solid understanding of print production workflows and file preparation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced production environment.

Advantageous

• Experience with Blender 3D
• Video editing or animation skills
• Canva experience

What This Role Offers

• Stable full-time position in a growing production environment
• Opportunity to work on diverse industrial design projects
• Collaborative team environment
• Exposure to high-volume print and packaging production

Application Requirements

Applicants must provide:

• CV + Head and Shoulders photograph
• Portfolio of relevant print or industrial design work
