For CPG Brands
For CPG brands, packaging is often the first sales pitch, the retail differentiator, and the investor-facing proof that a product is ready for the shelf. The DIELINE Awards gives brands, founders, and in-house teams a globally recognized packaging design credential — judged against the best consumer packaging in the world.
Unlike broad design competitions, the DIELINE Awards is dedicated to consumer packaging, CPG design, brand systems, structural packaging, sustainability, and the commercial realities of products on shelf. Judged by packaging design experts, brand leaders, creative directors, and CPG innovators.
Join the brands, agencies, and designers from 90+ countries competing for the world's most respected packaging award. Now open. Flash rate ends May 31.
