Dieline Awards 2010

Established in 2007, TheDieline.com is dedicated to the progress of the package design industry and its practitioners, students and enthusiasts. Its purpose is to define and promote the world’s best examples of packaging, and to provide a place where the package design community can review, critique, be inspired and stay informed of the latest industry trends, news and projects being created in the field.

The Dieline has quickly grown into the most visited website on package design in the world, and it has become the voice of the industry. It is used as a daily resource for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Our first book, Box Bottle Bag: The World’s Best Packaging Design, will be published in February by HOW Books.

As The Dieline continues to find and define the world’s best packaging, it has launched The Dieline Awards, an international design competition recognizing best in package design, further promoting the progress of package design industry.
