I know I’ve said it in the past, but I’m a sucker for an end-of-year list, especially when it comes from some of my favorite artists—it gives you the rare insight into a creative person’s brain and seeing what they love often speaks volumes about their own process). While we don’t usually write about the records or movies we loved best (OK, I did get to write about The Substance during spooky season), we can at least ask folks what packaging caught their eye over the past 365 days. 

That’s why we’re back on our bullshit with one of our most beloved features of the year. We asked some of our designer pals and studios what their favorite piece of packaging was in 2024, and they definitely did not disappoint. As always, the only rule is that they had no hand whatsoever in its creation. 

After all, this is about giving others their rightfully deserved flowers.
