The Packaging Designer's Book of Patterns (PDF)

The essential packaging design resource, now with more
patterns than ever!

For more than two decades, The Packaging Designer's Book of
Patterns has served as an indispensable source of ideas and
practical solutions for a wide range of packaging design
challenges.

This Fourth Edition offers more than 600 patterns and
structural designs--more than any other book--all drawn
to scale and ready to be traced, scanned, or photocopied. Online
access to the patterns in digital format allows readers to
immediately use any pattern in the most common software programs,
including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Every pattern has been
test-constructed to verify dimensional accuracy. The patterns can
be scaled to suit particular specifications--many are easily
converted to alternate uses--and most details are easily
customizable. Features of this Fourth Edition include:

* More than 55 new patterns added to this edition--over 600
patterns in all

* A broad array of patterns for folding cartons, trays, tubes,
sleeves, wraps, folders, rigid boxes, corrugated containers, and
point-of-purchase displays

* Proven, scalable patterns that save hours of research and
trial-and-error design

* Packaging patterns that are based on the use of 100% recyclable
materials

* Includes access to a password protected website that contains
all 600+ patterns in digital form for immediate use

Comprehensive and up to date, The Packaging Designer's Book
of Patterns, Fourth Edition enables packaging, display, and
graphic designers and students to achieve project-specific design
objectives with precision and confidence.
