Y'know...when we sat down to write this ad, we thought we would add some extra [cheese](http://www.frisianfarms.com/) and put in plenty of mistakes for you to catch. But you're better than that, and so are we. Our list of must-haves— - Attention to detail (duh). - Demonstrable experience proofing packaging/packaging design, including the nitty-gritty of product codes, [nutritional panels](http://www.fda.gov/food/labelingnutrition/default.htm), [dubious-sounding](http://science.discovery.com/life-earth-science/10-common-weird-ingredients.htm) ingredient names, and the love, patience and understanding of a parent whose really artistic children can't spell worth a damn and constantly forget the Mac shortcut for "emdash." - A fondness for the odd insanity of looking at packaging keylines, WHICH ARE NOT YOUR REGULAR, EVERYDAY KEYLINES—sometimes many rounds, sometimes many versions, sometimes many varieties, and sometimes all the same day. - Availability during agency business hours. Of course, this means that we'd contact you with work between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. But there may also be times when we need your services overnight or at less-regular times. If this is the case, we'll give you as much heads-up as we can because [we already like you](http://www.dailypuppy.com/) and don't want to lose you as a friend. - Added bonus, but not mandatory: awareness around/understanding of food packaging regulations. #### Sorry, this job is filled. - [Facebook Share ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pkgbranding.com%2Fblog%2Fwanted-freelance-proofreader%2F) - [Twitter Share ](https://twitter.com/home?status=Wanted%3A+Freelance+Proofreader%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pkgbranding.com%2Fblog%2Fwanted-freelance-proofreader%2F) - [LinkedIn Share ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pkgbranding.com%2Fblog%2Fwanted-freelance-proofreader%2F&title=Wanted%3A%20Freelance%20Proofreader&summary=Wanted%3A+Freelance+Proofreader&source=) - [Email Share ](mailto:?subject=Wanted%3A%20Freelance%20Proofreader&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pkgbranding.com%2Fblog%2Fwanted-freelance-proofreader%2F) ### Topics - [Blog](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/topic/blog) ### Related Posts [![How Multisensory Packaging Impacts Brand Loyalty](https://assets.seobotai.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=75,w=1536,h=1024/pkgbranding.com/699e3f7cefc60cc2af09b0fd-1771990125261.jpg) How Multisensory Packaging Impacts Brand Loyalty Kevin Keating at PKG ](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/multisensory-packaging-impacts-brand-loyalty) [![7 Emotional Triggers That Drive Packaging Success](https://assets.seobotai.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=75,w=1536,h=1024/pkgbranding.com/699d6a34efc60cc2af09912c-1771927424595.jpg) 7 Emotional Triggers That Drive Packaging Success Kevin Keating at PKG ](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/emotional-triggers-packaging-success) [![How Social Media Listening Improves Packaging Design](https://assets.seobotai.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=75,w=1536,h=1024/pkgbranding.com/699d5fe4efc60cc2af098e8a-1771924055807.jpg) How Social Media Listening Improves Packaging Design Kevin Keating at PKG ](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/social-media-listening-improves-packaging-design) ### Subscribe Now! ### Subscribe Now!     **Awarded Top 50** **Package Design ****Blog**   [![Packaging-Design-transparent_216px](https://blog-cdn.feedspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Packaging-Design-transparent_216px.png)](http://blog.feedspot.com/packaging_design_blogs/) - [How Multisensory Packaging Impacts Brand Loyalty](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/multisensory-packaging-impacts-brand-loyalty) - [7 Emotional Triggers That Drive Packaging Success](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/emotional-triggers-packaging-success) - [How Social Media Listening Improves Packaging Design](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/social-media-listening-improves-packaging-design) - [11 Examples of Functional Packaging Features](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/functional-packaging-features-examples) - [Competitor Analysis for Shelf Differentiation](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/competitor-analysis-for-shelf-differentiation) - [Typography Checklist for Packaging](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/typography-checklist-packaging) - [Top Biodegradable Packaging Myths Consumers Believe](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/biodegradable-packaging-myths-consumers-believe) - [Macro Photography for Food Packaging Design](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/macro-photography-food-packaging-design) - [Glass Packaging Benefits for CPG Brands](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/glass-packaging-benefits-cpg-brands) - [Pet Food Packaging: FDA Rules to Know](https://www.pkgbranding.com/blog/pet-food-packaging-fda-rules) ![Best package design agencies](https://www.pkgbranding.com/hubfs/badge-package-design-agencies.svg)   Recognized as a Top Package Design Agency on [DesignRush](https://www.designrush.com/agency/package-design) PKG BRAND DESIGN 2045 W Grand Ave, STE B-27332 Chicago, IL 60612-1576 [312.870.9101](tel:+1.312.870.9101) ![PKG Best Packaging Design Agency in Chicago](https://www.pkgbranding.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-09-22%20at%2010.33.31%20PM.png?width=722&height=284&name=Screenshot%202025-09-22%20at%2010.33.31%20PM.png) [Request a Free Consultation](https://www.pkgbranding.com/request-a-consultation) [![A Hangar 12 Agency](https://www.pkgbranding.com/hubfs/assets/dev/img/a-hangar12-agency-logo-transparent.png)](https://www.hangar-12.com/) © 2026 PKG Brand Design.
