CPG Packaging Awards 2027
Enter the global awards built for consumer packaged goods. For CPG brands, in-house design teams, founders, and agencies competing for the most respected packaging design credential in the world.
Built for CPG
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.
