"Fifteen years after the first edition of this landmark resource, The Packaging Designer's Book of Patterns continues its long tradition as a useful tool in the ever-changing world of packaging design. This Third Edition features more than fifty new patterns and new material on the latest advances in closures." This unparalleled, hands-on resource gives designers the advantage they need to successfully meet any packaging challenge. Every pattern has been test-constructed to verify dimensional accuracy and is ready to be traced, scanned, or photocopied for immediate use. The patterns can be scaled to suit particular specifications - many are easily converted to alternate uses - and most details are easily customizable.
I had this for Packaging and Design during undergrads, awesome book full of templates. Gave textbook to graphic designer friend/classmate as a gift. ordered on Borders, anticipating its delivery!
