Contents:

 

Chapter 1 Packaging with Creative Structures

As one of the packaging essentials, packaging structures play a significant role in the process of packaging. A good packaging structure infuses new blood into the product and sparks consumers’ interest to explore the product it conceals. This chapter discusses the basic functions of packaging structure and showcases innovative and delicate packaging design. Die-cut patterns are included for specific projects.

 

Chapter 2 Packaging with Innovative Materials

There are a lot of materials to be applied in the process of packaging, among which the most important ones are metals, glasses, papers, cartons, plastics, and woods. Somehow, people tend to neglect the importance of packaging materials without noticing that a breakthrough in packaging materials will be a big surprise. This chapter reviews two approaches to innovation in packaging materials and provides an overview of the application of different materials in packaging.

 

Chapter 3 Packaging with Impressive Visuals

While shopping, the first thing that catches consumers’ eyes must be the visual effect of a product. Shape, colour, typography and various graphic elements of packaging design collaborate to visualise the product’s nature and value, stimulating consumers’ curiosity as well as communicating the key information of the products. This chapter introduces how visual language carries information in packaging design and displays impressive packages that consumers can hardly take their eyes off.

 

Chapter 4 Die-Cut Patterns

Complex as it is, innovative structure develops from a simple template made of paper and board. As the prototype of packaging structures, templates indicate how the patterns are die-cut and how the packages are constructed. This section unfolds the packages and shows 26 templates of creative packaging structures inside out.

The die-cut templates can be downloaded and used for free, for personal and non-commercial use only. (If commercial use is involved, please contact the owner(s) for approvals. Sandu Publishing will not be responsible for any loss caused by unapproved commercial use.)
