- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2010The 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2010This 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2011This 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012I will keep it simple, I am a packaging freak and this is a book with excellent design, great picture, multiple categories design trends. I am really hoping there is a new book published by the same authors.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015Great inspiration!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2012A well curated, well structured book with tons of work to inspire you, make you envious of, and nerd out to. Even if you aren't in the packaging design business this still is a great book to have on your shelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2014This book is awesome. If you check out The Dieline on line, all their designs are in the book. Worth it!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2014The book was good but its delivery was delayed for 2 months with endless back and forth communication with the Amazon team to follow up and re-re-re-arrange delivery. Product was great but the arrangements and service were horrendous.
