"…a rare delight; a quite surprising array of oddly–shaped box designs, with a shape for almost every occasion and product." – Art Box "…this book gives the reader an understanding of the underlying principles of package construction and the confidence to have a go at creating ideal product packaging from scratch" – Art Box Unlike other packaging titles, which simply provide templates to copy, this book enables designers of all packaging types to create 3–D packaging forms that are specific to their needs rather than based on an existing design. It teaches a simple 'net' construction system – a one–piece 2–D configuration of card seen when a 3–D package is opened out and flattened – which enables the designer to create a huge number of very strong 3–D packaging forms that are both practical and imaginative. Each chapter concludes with photographs and net drawings of 6–10 creative examples of packaging designs made using the principles outlined in the preceding chapter. Structural Packaging gives the reader an understanding of the underlying principles of packaging construction and the technical knowledge and confidence to develop a greater number of their own unusual and innovative designs. Presents a unique system for creating strong 3D packaging • Explains over 70 forms with clear instructions and advice, and gives the reader technical knowledge to create countless others • One of a series of three titles on paper engineering by Paul Jackson: the other titles are Promotional Materials (Spring 2013) and 3D Pop–ups (Spring 2014) • Follow up to the best–selling Folding Techniques for Designers Also available from Paul Jackson: Folding Techniques Complete Pleats Cut and Fold Paper Textures Cut and Fold Techniques for Pop–Up Designs Cut and Fold Techniques for Promotional Materials How to Make Repeat Patterns Review: Constructive knowledge - This book explains in a short and conceivable manner the techniques accompanied with examples how to create packaging or if you wish to start intricate sculptural volumes made from paper, that you could sell as art. It explains well from start to finish how a good packaging is made, what its structural elements are and how the relate to each other. It will definitely help you to make your next packaging project (assuming that you are quite new to this field). Review: An essential book - I'm Graphic designer and I bought this book a few months ago, in my country not exist a similar like this, the truly remarkable on this product is it gives you the possibility to create a well-made packaging from primordial bases. Now Im teaching the subject of packaging design a group of students and the method used by the autor is really practical and friendly even if you don't any idea about boxes or package. You have extra material visiting the web site of this autor ... Im really really fine with my purchase... Es un libro buenísimo y esencial.

Great book wish more examples
alot of the examples are rather simple and i wish nowadays with the internet that this book had more examples or more unique designs. great for learning how to create flats from 3d and vice versa.

Good little book, clear and well ordered
It is a good little book. It was made in a good order to fallow the complexity of shapes. Honestly, I just get joy from packaging nets. So if your looking for something advanced I have no idea. I just think it's neat.

Inspirational reading
I originally wanted this book for ideas on making larger custom boxes but all of the designs are more in-line with crafting. There are excellent layout sheets that you can copy and enlarge so you aren't trying to figure out where to make all of those complex folds. As I was reviewing the contents, I was inspired to start working on some smaller craft projects but I really don't have the time right now, but in the future, this book will be a great reference. Every artist/maker should have it on the shelf just in case.

Good book. It covers the essentials of packaging design ...
Good book. It covers the essentials of packaging design including die lines and what you need to know about making a package structurally sound. The interesting shapes and variations give inspiration as well as needed creative tools to make unique designs come to life. I would definitely recommend!

Fascinating!
The eBook is rather clumsily put together (captions shown with wrong images, mostly) which made it difficult to follow, but otherwise a marvellous book. I should have bought the paperback.

Great inspiration
There are more intensive books out there if you're looking for a range of nets, but this book is pretty nifty when you're just dipping your toes into package design. Covers the basics and gives you enough to start experimenting on your own (I just made a box recently combining two nets in this book and it turned out).
