Basic Packaging: Structural Package Design Series (incl. CD) Paperback – Illustrated, 30 April 2010

This book covers a wide range of basic packaging design templates from techniques used to visual examples. Comes with a free 30 day trial of Artios packaging design plug in for Adobe Illustrator which is very helpful for designing packaging. Comes with pdf, 3d pdf and eps files of each net shown in the bookThe first page of the book is very informative about different materials used in packaging however I found it weird that the next 7 pages were exactly the same page I just read but in 7 other languages. Italian, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, RussianNot as informative as I would have liked but a brilliant reference book and the C.D by itself more than makes it worth buying

Book is very much what I needed. Very disapointing is that not all ard's on the DVD open. Maybe they will send me a new DVD?

Il libro è bellissimo, ottime spiegazioni interessante, grande pecca in Cd non funziona, il mio acquisto si è indirizzato su questo prodotto molto per i contenuti del Cd. Come posso fare per avere una copia funzionante del Cd?

Ist ein wirklich sehr gutes Buch. Hätte mir gerne Proportionen und mehr mathematische Berechnungen der Modelle gewünscht aber gibt einem Ideen für den Aufbau.Leider funktionierte die CD in 2 PCs nicht. Zwar wurde die CD und der Inhalt (Ordner) geladen aber ich konnte nicht darauf zugreifen, was dieses Buch für mich größtenteils unnütz macht.

Very informative and great reference book for product and project development individuals in my line of work. Give a very clear and precise die-cut examples. This is great if the client you are working with has a limited budget, but needs a point of reference for costing a full product with packaging.The first CD in it did not work, I sent an email to Pepin Press and was quite surprised and delighted to know that they actually reply to a customer's request. I thankfully got a working replacement CD in the mail a few weeks later. Will purchase another book by the same author or publishing company in my future needs.

Item arrived as described and on time. Clear concise drawings

I love the content of this book but was very disappointed to find that the included CD ROMs simply don't work. I emailed the publisher and they are aware of the problem. After a few weeks and a reminder email, they shipped the replacements which work perfectly well. A little hassle, but worth it for great content.
