About the Competition

The GDUSA Package Design Awards is one of the longest-running and most respected celebrations of excellence in packaging design — and we invite you to enter.

We honor the creativity, craft, and strategy behind packaging that protects, persuades, and delights: from boxes, bottles, and labels to shopping bags and the full unboxing experience, across every product category.

Now in its 60th year, GDUSA continues to give outstanding package design the recognition it deserves.
