The European Brand and Packaging Design Association (EPDA) is a leading network that brings together internationally minded designers and agencies who value contact and interaction with their peers. With a strong belief in the power of personal contacts, the EPDA aims to be a great place for packaging designers to meet, interact, and gain inspiration. They offer face-to-face and online opportunities to exchange ideas, network, and socialize, ultimately becoming the voice of the packaging design community.

The EPDA organizes innovative events every six months, acting as the main meeting point for European designers. In addition, they provide opportunities for designers to meet and interact on a local level through meetings organized by their National Correspondents. The association encourages the highest standards of ethics and practice in design, and promotes the role of design in business by involving clients.

They also provide guidance on professional training and education to European design colleagues and aim to create links with EU authorities to benefit the design industry. The EPDA operates as a voluntary association run by its members, with an elected board and a permanent, multi-lingual secretariat in Germany. They have ethical rules that define the behavior expected of members towards colleagues and clients.

Overall, the EPDA is dedicated to fostering collaboration and excellence in the field of brand and packaging design
