Summary: Simply awesome
Review: Man I love this book! When I first found "Packaging Prototypes" in a local book store, I was dazzled by the many illustrations demonstrating how to cut and fold paper into containers that were functional, whimsical, and even beautiful. The fact that the book comes with a CD-ROM of Illustrator / Freehand templates is just TOO sweet. You'll find many imaginative, creative ideas here for your own projects. Essential. One of the best design books I've purchased in a while (and I've got many).

Review: Okay, I needed to make a package design for my Graphic Design Class. the first time I did it, WAS A NIGHTMARE. I wasted more paper doing dimensions and math.Then AFTER I TURNED IN MY ASSIGNMENT I SPOTTED THIS BOOK! It has cool ways of designing stuff into packages other than using a plain old borring box. And here's teh best, the CD has a template to all the boxes and they are in Illustrator, so all you have to do is enlareg to the size you want in Illusttrator, design you box, print and construct. The book also gives you helpful hints, such as how to paste the box together, so it will not fall apart! IT APART OF MY GRAPHIC DESIGN LIBRARY!! -Sharminar

Summary: THE BEST PACKAGING BOOK EVER!!!
Review: This book is a must have for anyone serious about design. All the illustrations that demonstrate how to cut and fold paper into containers, boxes, and packages were functional, attractive, and well designed. The fact that the book comes with a CD-ROM of Illustrator / Freehand templates is just awesome. This book will be an inspiration and you will find many imaginative & creative ideas here for your own projects. This book is essential for a designer's library and one of the best design books I've purchased in a long time...(since this book is out of print and very rare to find, if you can find it at any price it is well worth it)

Summary: Do it yourself packageing
Review: This book is excellent if you are looking for ways to send or sell smaller objects in other ways than a square box. The book contains examples and illustrations of how to make eyecatching packageing. It also includes a cd-rom with templates of the examples in the book.

Summary: Waste of Time and Money
Review: This book was such a waste. One of the french folds reads, "...to act as a visual catalyst in the creation and production of exciting and innovative packaging design." There is NOTHING INNOVATIVE or EXCITING about this book. And as far as I am concerned the included cd is mearly cheating. No self respecting designer would stock this book on their shelf. A REAL investment book, which contains all of the patterns in this book as well as hundreds more, would be "The Packaging Designer's Book of Patterns" by Roth & Wybenga. How do I return the book if i hastily trashed the carton en route from the post office? or am i stranded with this piece of garbage forever.
