JMD Creative Agency Celebrates Dual Wins at 2026 GDUSA Package Design Awards

JMD Creative Agency, celebrated for its exceptional contributions to the beauty and fragrance packaging industry, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone. On September 16, 2026, the agency proudly announced its triumph at the 63rd Annual American Package Design Awards, organized by Graphic Design USA (GDUSA). This year, JMD won not one, but two prestigious awards for their innovative designs, showcasing the agency’s creative prowess in structural and visual packaging.

The awards recognized two standout collections: Interparfums' MCM Fragrance Collection and Clean Beauty Collective's Clean Hair & Body Mist Collection. Both products exemplify JMD's commitment to excellence, transforming conventional packaging into captivating works of art that resonate with consumers.

Clean Beauty Collective's Transformation

In reimagining the Clean Hair & Body Mist Collection, JMD approached the project by translating fragrance into a multisensory experience. The design features elongated, popsicle-inspired silhouettes and vibrant, translucent colors that evoke nostalgia while adding a contemporary twist. This playful design elevates the everyday item into an object of desire, turning a simple body mist into a collectible treasure. JMD’s innovative approach encourages users to engage with the product in a deeper, more emotional way.

MCM Fragrance Collection - A Bold Statement

For the MCM Fragrance Collection, JMD was tasked with creating a design that would not only complement the brand’s first fragrance, inspired by the iconic Stark Backpack, but also stand distinctively within MCM's universe. The design team looked beyond mere hardware and logos, diving into the heart of the brand’s identity. The result was a series of sculptural, whimsical bottles featuring MCM's beloved animal characters. These gender-neutral bottles carry a sense of luxury while cleverly integrating graphic confidence and playful elements, establishing a new chapter in MCM’s fragrance lineup.

A Testament to Design Excellence

The GDUSA American Package Design Awards have a long-standing reputation as one of the premier honors in the design industry. Celebrating packaging that not only enhances a brand but also tells its story and enhances consumer experience, this year’s competition saw over 2,500 entries, of which only approximately 10% were recognized as winners. JMD’s achievements reflect its exceptional capabilities and innovative spirit in packaging design.

The recognition from GDUSA adds to a growing list of accolades for JMD in 2026. Notably, both the MCM Fragrance Collection and Clean Hair & Body Mist Collection were shortlisted for the highly-coveted Pentawards, known as one of the world’s most prestigious international competitions dedicated exclusively to packaging design. Additionally, JMD-designed packaging for Billie Eilish's Your Turn fragrance also won the 2026 Fragrance Foundation Consumer Choice Award, further solidifying the agency's reputation for excellence.

Industry Leaders Acknowledge JMD’s Innovation

Jon Dinapoli, Founder and President of JMD, expressed his thoughts on the wins, stating, "Great packaging has to do more than look beautiful on a shelf - it has to capture the spirit of the brand and connect with the consumer the moment they pick it up." Dinapoli emphasized that receiving recognition for two distinct projects in one year by industry leaders showcases the breadth of JMD’s talent and the trust clients place in the team to bring their visions to life.

As a result of these accolades, JMD’s award-winning designs will gain exposure across GDUSA’s platforms, including their website and digital magazine, reaching over 50,000 designers and industry professionals.
