Packaging 11: Call For EntriesGuidelinesEnter Now
FINAL DEADLINE: October 21, 2025
Design you can feel before you even touch it. The Graphis Packaging Awards honor the most thoughtful, beautiful, and innovative packaging solutions from around the world. Whether the goal is shelf appeal, sustainability, storytelling—or all three—great packaging goes beyond function. It shapes perception, builds identity, and deepens connection between product and consumer.
For over 80 years, Graphis has celebrated excellence in design. If your packaging work turns heads, evokes emotion, knocks it out of the ballpark in sales, or tells a story with structure and surface, it belongs here.
All entries are featured on the Graphis website, viewed by millions of designers, clients, and brands around the world. Platinum, Gold, and Silver winners are also published in the Graphis Packaging Annual—a permanent archive of global design excellence.
