PACKAGING TEMPLATES

The Packaging Templates Sourcebook presents a stunning showcase of 140 new, innovative and classic packaging and paper engineering ideas across a variety of areas. Accompanying each project is a detailed template, which shows the reader how to copy, fold and construct each project from material that is widely available. The book will provide a source of inspiration for graphic and packaging designers, both student and professional alike, as it explores the fundamentals of a package at its most basic level. Covering areas as diverse as food and drink, product packaging, promotional material, CDs and DVDs, books, retail and stationary, it is a completely comprehensive guide. The book also includes gatefold templates, some insert card packaging concepts, and a CD-Rom of templates and finished packages, allowing designers to create presentations for their clients.

This guide of encyclopedic proportions presents on over 500 pages a range of packaging templates capable of meeting the requirements of virtually any commercial or retail use plus information on international standards of packaging, a lexicon of terms and expressions, an up to the minute survey of locking techniques, and an overview of basic pack structures.
