Best of the Year
Best Package Design of 2026
The package design that won a GDUSA award in 2026, each with the firm and the designers credited.
16 award-winning projects
Packaging is the one piece of graphic design that gets picked up, and for most products it is the entire advertising budget. The designer works to understand the consumer's needs and perceptions of what is inside, then designs around the needs of the business and the desires of the consumer. Fifteen packages won in 2026, every one from a company's own design team, and private label led: Costco's Kirkland Signature and The Home Depot's house brands each won three times. The full page went to DAP Global's spray texture system, a hardware-aisle aerosol line that reads as one family from across the store. The best package designers in the country are on this page. Open any package to see it up close and learn what makes it sell.
