Hey, does anyone have any good links or examples about interesting packaging design?
Could be in any field like food or electronics or what ever. Just one product or the whole series. Thank you already!

I would recommend purchasing som eof the Graphis Packaging annuals. I think they are un to number 9 now. I own the first and seconds publications and they are a great source of inspiration to me, loads of great packaging designs from the 60’s which easily associate with todays trends.

you could try looking for them here

What I also find useful is just to take a day out and look round supermarkets or other similar stores. I was in Waitrose the other day and they had a number or really well designed products.

the design archive at AIGA is very good. along with packaging design, it has many other categories like information design, book design, typography, etc.

I don’t know if this is what you have in mind but there is some groovy vintage stuff for inspiration here.

Some very interesting examples are included, as well as patterns for constructing them.
