Celebrating innovation in packaging design across consumer goods, luxury products, food & beverage, beauty, and sustainable solutions.
The London Packaging Design Awards celebrates the most creative and functional packaging designs that define brand identity and elevate product experience. This category recognises designs that balance aesthetics, usability, sustainability, and storytelling — from bold retail packaging and minimalist beauty boxes to eco-conscious materials and premium unboxing experiences.
As part of the London Design Awards, this category invites submissions from packaging designers, design studios, branding agencies, manufacturers, and product developers worldwide. Whether you’re creating packaging for everyday essentials or high-end collections, the London Packaging Design Awards offers a prestigious platform to showcase your design’s impact on shelf, user experience, and the environment.
Submit your packaging design and demonstrate how it captures attention, communicates value, and enhances the product journey.
All designers are eligible to submit work in-progress, complete or conceptual designs. Winners are determined by one entry, and not an entire body of work, so careful selection should be observed.
The London Design Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs affordable. Rather than charging it per entry, an annual administrative fee is charged to cover costs like printing, mailing and data organisation. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will benefit more.
