Customer Reviews

Well Worth It
A very worthwhile book. I have others in the series and would advise that you search them out on Amazon. The book, a weighty tome, comes with a CD with the contents of the book in vector images for both PC and Mac to allow you to size/modify the drawings to what you need. Well worthwhile and very promptly delivered.

Everything you need to know!
This book is great for anyone studying graphic or product design, it has everything you could ever need!

This book consists of 168 packaging nets, each comes with an image of the finished piece to show what it will look like. It comes with a disk, that holds all of the nets. It allows you to resize any section of the net,add parts or take them away.

The book is broken up into seven sections, so it is simple to find what you are looking for-

-Regular Boxes
-Display Packaging
-Tear open Packaging
-Dispensers
-Carriers
-Bottle and Tin Holders
-Special Shapes

It has traditional nets that you would see day to day in packaging, but there are others that are more complex, but they are l worth trying as they look fantastic. Every shape you can think of, this book has it!

It is a great book to have and has helped and inspired me whenever I needed it.
Brilliant buy!

Thanks for reading.

For special applications
There is not an awful lot to read here:
There is a short introduction in eight languages, then you can go straight to folding structures!
On on side you will find the patterns and directions for folding, on the opposite side you'll see the finished box.
The CD is very helpful to avoid the tedious copying of the patterns.
"How to fold" from the same series might be sensible.
But for all who want to make a special packaging this book does not bear one excess page.
