"Der umfangreiche und hervorragend fotografierte Bildband zeigt nicht nur herausragende Beispiele des Verpackungsdesign, er lässt den Leser auch nachvollziehen, wie es zu bestimmten Verpackungslösungen gekommen ist - wie technische Machbarkeit, Ästhetik und Marketing eine möglichst gelungene Symbiose eingehen. Nach Produktgruppen wie Lebensmittel, Elektroartikel, Luxusgüter oder Arzneimittel geordnet, bekommt man einen guten Überblick über das extrem breite Spektrum dieses Designbereichs, der innovative Verarbeitungstechniken mit hoher Gestaltungskompetenz verbindet. Damit das Buch auch für Nicht-Fachleute lesbar wird, ist ein Anhang angefügt, der die wichtigsten Fachbegriffe ausführlich erklärt."
