Remote Graphic Designer (Packaging & Print)

Design from anywhere. Deliver print-ready files every day through our online system.

Art for Printing Industry is a commercial print and packaging house in Abu Dhabi serving corporate, government and aviation clients. We are adding a remote designer to our design team. You will not deal with customers: every brief, file and revision reaches you through your own account on our online order system, and you deliver your work there.

What you will do

  • Complete the orders assigned to you each day and deliver them in the system within the working day.
  • Create packaging designs, die-lines and 3D mockups in Pacdora.
  • Prepare print-ready artwork from the brief: size, bleed, cut contours, white-ink layers, colour mode and fonts.
  • Apply revisions requested by our team.
  • Upload final files and update progress on each order, so every job is traceable.

What you bring

  • 2+ years designing for print or packaging.
  • Hands-on Pacdora experience: die-lines and mockups.
  • CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (InDesign a plus).
  • Prepress knowledge: CMYK, bleed, spot colours, white ink, PDF/X.
  • Arabic and English typography. Good English; Arabic a strong advantage.
  • Your own computer, design software and a stable internet connection.

How we work

  • Your own user account on our system: assigned orders, briefs, file uploads, delivery and work history in one place.
  • No customer contact — our sales team handles all communication with customers.
  • You work during company hours, UAE time (GMT+4): Monday–Thursday 08:30–13:00 and 16:30–20:30, Friday 08:30–12:00 and 16:30–20:30, Saturday 08:30–15:00, Sunday off.

What we offer

  • Fixed monthly fee on a freelance basis.
  • Work from anywhere — no visa, residency or relocation needed.
  • A written freelance agreement setting out the work, fee, delivery standards, confidentiality and ownership of designs, protecting the rights and obligations of both sides.
  • A clear, organised remote workflow and steady daily work from a busy print house.
