More Packaging Prototypes

by Edward Denison

A follow-up to the successful Packaging Prototypes, More Packaging Prototypes acts a visual catalyst in the creation and production of exciting and innovative design. It is an invaluable tool for anyone working in packaging design. The diverse range of carton templates demonstrates the huge variety of packaging possibilities, and the beautifully photographed examples of the finished models inspire the imagination. Each design is accompanied by detailed notes that list its product suitability and distinguishing features. A system of icons provides quickly accessed information on a multiplicity of areas, from the design's ecological implications to its material suitability. Introductory text reviews the principles behind packaging, explores the concerns of packaging designers, and examines what makes a classic package. The various types of carton closure are detailed, and common materials listed.
