Winning the Professional category is an innovative packaging plan Google Plastic-Free Packaging, by Roman Ley at Google. Google's packaging for all hardware products, including Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit, is now 100% plastic-free, fully recyclable, and features innovative materials like custom-developed paper and molded fiber. The winning Student entry in Packaging went to Yitong Jiang, ArtCenter College of Design, for Into You. This packaging uses slightly heavier, 100% recyclable stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and a luxurious luster. Its tactile quality reinforces the brand's commitment to "long-term use" and a "jewelry-like texture".

The jury team for the 2025 Core77 Design Awards Packaging category was led by Alex Center the Founder at CENTER. Joining Center on the jury were Mike McVicar, Co-Founder at Gander, and Jasmine Gallagher and Shy Trutwein, Co-Founders at After Hours Studio.
