BASIC PACKAGING, the first volume of a new series of packaging books Structural Package Design, contains 300 designs, including all major international packaging standards very important for communication between designers, clients and manufacturers. This volume is jam-packed with 100% structurally accurate, scalable packaging templates. All of the designs are tested, working models, ready for immediate use. Every design template is illustrated with a photograph of the final product and a 3-D structural drawing that clearly shows how the package is constructed. All designs are stored in various formats on the CDs that accompany the books. The CDs also included a demo version of packaging software which folds and tests two-dimensional templates in 3-D. Apart from its immediate practical use, this book is a great source of inspiration for graphic, product and packaging designers alike.
