The Book is organized by style: Lux, Bold, Crisp, Charming, Casual, and Nostalgic. A little over 200 pages with one product per page. The images are big and crisp. The paper is smooth and of high quality. There is a brief description of each product and sometimes quotes from the designers. The products are from around the world which gives you an international overview of the best designs. This is THE best book with a collection of works that I've ever bought! It will be on my desk constantly for inspiration. I'm a sucker for packaging design and I'll buy products based on their packaging. Please visit [...] as well, because that is where it all stated.

This book is spectacular. I love the way that peoples ideas are so outside of the box. I love how someone can take something so ordinary and make it extraordinary. I work for a graphic arts/ label company I am used to seeing all sorts of of packaging ideas. This book defiantly gives people a look into other countries and the way they take the same item from the united states and flip it change to be original. I hope they keep making more of these books. They should definitely make one every few years or months. With the way the economy is today packing is surly changing ever so fast.

This book is a fantastic, insightful look into various styles of product design. As a designer I found this resource a great help when brainstorming new concepts and colour variations - and not just for product design. I have hundreds of design books in the studio however this easily ranks in my top 5 all time favorites.
