Prizes & Recognition
A DIELINE Award is the global industry's most trusted mark of excellence in consumer packaging and CPG design. Winning means your work has been measured against the best from 90+ countries — by the world's most respected packaging design jury — and came out on top.
The Stakes
For agencies, a DIELINE Award is the recognition that validates your positioning and wins new business.
For brands and founders, it is the signal that changes conversations with retailers, buyers, and investors.
A DIELINE Award on your packaging, website, and investor materials tells buyers, retailers, and consumers that your design has been independently validated by the global packaging industry's most trusted authority.
2026 Winners
Winners receive recognition that lasts beyond the announcement — a presence on the DIELINE platform, an exhibit at the DIELINE winner showcase, and a hand-crafted trophy designed by Jones Knowles Ritchie.

The Trophy
Inspired by the humble cut lines of a simple folding box — reimagined in impeccably crafted physical form.
Every winner gets a trophy on the night. A DIELINE Awards trophy is presented to every recipient on stage at the celebration — for the photo, the moment, and the post that lives on long after. Winners can then purchase their own trophy to keep, available in tier-specific finishes.
Best of Concept
A DIELINE Award doesn't expire when the next year's competition opens. It stays on your portfolio, your packaging, your investor decks. It's the credential clients remember.
