• Accurately incorporate approved warnings, instructions, manufacturer and responsible-party details, conformity marks, symbols, traceability data and disposal information.
• Produce artwork for different product configurations, markets and languages using approved text and translations.
• Create clear, legible layouts that balance regulatory content, usability, brand consistency and available space.
• Prepare print-ready files, checking dimensions, colours, bleed, resolution, fonts, dielines and printer specifications.
• Check proofs against approved master artwork and resolve discrepancies with the relevant teams before production.
• Maintain an organised artwork library, including editable source files, approved masters, version histories and change records.
• Coordinate with printers and suppliers on technical queries and production corrections, ensuring changes follow the approval process.
• Gather stakeholder feedback, flag missing or conflicting information, and obtain the required approvals before releasing artwork for production. Essential skills and experience
• Experience designing product packaging, labels, or technical product literature, supported by relevant portfolio examples.
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
• Experience preparing artwork for print and working with packaging dielines and printer specifications.
• Excellent attention to detail when handling technical text, symbols, warnings, and multilingual layouts.
• Strong typography and layout skills, with a focus on readability.
• Ability to manage multiple product versions, deadlines and artwork changes.
• Clear communication and a methodical approach to proofreading, version control and feedback. Desirable experience
• Artwork for medical devices, consumer electrical products or other regulated products.
• Familiarity with the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), EU and UK medical device labelling, or the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
• Experience with controlled document approval processes, product identification codes, barcodes, or Unique Device Identification (UDI).
• Creating clear instructional illustrations and diagrams. Medical-device experience and prior knowledge of these regulations are desirable but not essential. The Regulatory team will provide regulatory requirements and approved content.
