A nice touch in the world of wine labels: each bottle of this limited edition Sauvignon Blanc is individually numbered, per the order in which they came off the line.
As a bonus, there's something elegant yet casual about the graphic style used here. And you can never go wrong with silver on black...

Wine labels are often lauded for their creativity, nuance...and influence on consumer purchasing habits (who doesn't buy wine based on the label?!) - but vodka bottles are proving to be a close second in that regard.
This elegant identity for Million Vodka is a nice addition to the pack.

Nice graphics. Nice color scheme. A budget-required one-style-only solution that will nonetheless remain interesting for the consumer.

Nice jar design and an unexpected color selection for the carrier make this a standout piece. The total scheme gives the product a special, premium feel that I'd probably pay extra for.
But then again, I'm a sucker.

Great design makes the user (customer) feel something when they encounter it - whether it be graphics or the built environment. The "Off the Leaf" design concept is effective because it directly engages the consumer in the process of completing the design as they select their own cup+sleeve combo.
A simple idea, but how many people will become return customers, just so they can try out the various color options? This is a thoughtful concept executed with a nice color palette to boot.

An awesome example of the beautiful way in which thoughtful design solutions can enhance even the most utilitarian products. Through color, typography, and pattern War Design succeeds in utilizing graphics to speak to CTA customers clearly and at-a-glance.
As one commenter notes, "It looks like perfume." Nonetheless, the elegant design for this Spanish gin is lovely to behold. Less is indeed more, in this case. Well done.
I love these wonderfully simple icons for a men's skin care line, called Good Day. Follow the link and you'll see that the rest of the packaging is similarly understated.
I find it interesting to see how photography is used in packaging. In the case of food products, in particular, it would seem that a high-quality photograph would make the products all the more enticing to the consumer.
Not to mention the fact that if you have no idea what a tool is used for, the photograph might provide a handy clue...
