Packaging Design

Packaging Design

The French Design Awards heralds the Packaging Design category, a journey that explores the limitless possibilities of packaging design, a segment that narrates packages which tell tales even before they're opened.

At the French Design Awards, we commend the packaging designers - those innovative narrators who, through their designs, tell compelling stories that captivate, engage, and resonate. Welcome to the recognition of excellence in packaging design. Your canvas awaits your unique touch.

Deadlines & Fees

Packaging Design Deadlines & Fees

At the French Design Awards, we invite all designers to contribute, regardless of whether their designs are in-progress, finalised, or purely conceptual. Victors are selected based on a single entry, not a collective portfolio, thereby emphasising the importance of careful submission selection.

In an endeavour to promote financial accessibility, the French Design Awards has implemented a cost-effective entry system, while utilising a $30 annual administrative fee. This fee covers a wide array of expenses, including printing, mailing, and data management. Thus, every participant incurs the same economical fee, yielding greater value for those submitting multiple entries.
