The Grammy Award for Best Recording Package is one of a series of Grammy Awards presented for the visual look of an album. It is presented to the art director of the winning album, not to the performer(s), unless the performer is also the art director.
The category dates back to 1974, when the name of the award was Best Album Package. It evolved from the Best Album Cover category, which was retired in 1973 and not revived until 2026. The Best Album Package category was renamed again in 1994 to Best Recording Package.
In 1995, boxed sets were no longer eligible, as they were split off into a separate award, currently known as the Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.
