This book would be much better suited for packaging engineers rather than graphic designers. Much of the advice and information is written for people who are creating new kinds of materials, processes, and packaging structures. So this review may be unfair since I'm a designer, but either way it reads like a text book and I found myself struggling to finish. I did make it through though and it does contain some good information and I think it may serve well as a reference book for information about materials and packaging terms. For design however, I'm looking forward to finding a different book to learn from.
