A few years ago I met an incredibly friendly French man named Fabrice Peltier. Fabrice, arguably the most well known package designer in France, has designed over 12,000 consumer products in his career, including the iconic French soda, Orangina. You may have heard of it. As packaging lovers, we had a natural connection.
When Fabrice and I met in person, we quickly realized that we both had a shared life vision: to educate the world about packaging design, and give voice to packaging’s impact on the world around us. Fabrice and I talked about this a lot over the years, and we asked ourselves how we could take this vision to a grander scale.
Fabrice and I first partnered to host an exhibit of The Dieline Awards 2012 winners underground in the Paris subway system, literally bringing packaging to the people. Our second venture was to take the exhibit to Emballage (French for “packaging”), the international expo for packaging professionals. Emballage is a massive global packaging event that attracts over 100,000 attendees every two years in Paris. The exhibit was a massive hit, and it inspired a collaboration between The Dieline and Emballage that has been in the works for two years.
