Modern Recycled Cardboard Bottle Box Design

Packaging Designer Needed – Sustainable Drinks Bottle Packaging

I’m looking for an experienced packaging designer to create fresh, modern packaging for my range of sustainable drinks bottles.

Brand and product background

INTAVIDA® is a British premium performance brand built around the mantra “Aspire. Focus. Achieve.” The brand identity is modern, aspirational and minimal, with a strong emphasis on quality and sustainability.

The first packaging will be created for an INTAVIDA® collaboration with Ocean Bottle, using the Peak Go 710ml bottle. INTAVIDA® should remain the main visual identity, with Ocean Bottle clearly presented as the collaboration partner.

The packaging should feel appropriate for a premium performance and lifestyle product while complementing Ocean Bottle’s sustainability values. Any Ocean Bottle logos or branding must only be taken from the approved files I provide.

Packaging required

A branded inner presentation box
Interchangeable cardboard inserts to hold bottles with slightly different heights and diameters securely
A simple corrugated outer shipping box, finished mainly in plain cardboard with the INTAVIDA® logo
A branded cardboard wraparound sleeve

The overall appearance should be clean, modern and premium rather than rustic. Space should be provided for the logo, product information, compliance text and barcode while keeping the design sleek and uncluttered.

Recycled and recyclable cardboard should be used wherever possible. I’m open to subtle embossing or cut-outs if they improve the unboxing experience without adding excessive cost or material waste.

I will provide the bottle dimensions, brand colours, fonts, approved logos and relevant reference images when the project begins.

Project deliverables

Initial packaging concepts for review
Realistic 3D visuals showing the packaging closed and opened
Print-ready dielines for the presentation box, inserts, shipping box and wraparound sleeve
Recommended cardboard type and thickness for each item
Clearly marked cut lines, folds, bleed areas, glue areas and locking tabs
Clearly identified artwork zones for logos, product information, compliance text and barcodes
Final editable Adobe Illustrator files
Printer-ready PDF files
High-resolution PNG renders
Reasonable minor amendments following the packaging manufacturer’s initial review

The completed files must be accurate, manufacturable and ready to send directly to a packaging supplier.

Please include with your proposal

Your fixed price for the complete project
Your expected turnaround time
The number of initial concepts and revision rounds included
Examples of relevant packaging and structural dieline work
Confirmation that editable AI files and printer-ready PDFs are included
Confirmation that minor manufacturer-requested adjustments are included

Experience creating structural cardboard packaging and production-ready dielines is essential. Please do not submit a generic proposal without relevant packaging examples.
