For the past 11 years, Dieline Awards has formally recognized the absolute best in packaging design worldwide, bringing awareness to the immense value that lies in well-designed brand packaging.

For 2021, Dieline Awards has reimagined the competition by more than doubling the categories from 29 to 63 to better represent and recognize significant advancements within our industry, particularly when it comes to sustainability. 

It is our goal to recognize the innovation and efforts of designers and branding for creating the solutions of tomorrow, today. The expanded categories allow more entrants the opportunity to have their work recognized on a global level.

In 2019, Dieline partnered with A Plastic Planet to launch the world’s first Plastic Free Award for sustainable, plastic-free packaging. This year promises even more ingenuity as we continue to celebrate material innovation.
