As packaging design continues to grow as a discipline and a community, Design Packaging’s ideology of idea-sharing led to creating their first e-book containing some of their more popular structural designs, as well as tried and true standards. For students and professionals alike, this free, easy-to-use e-book can be imported into Adobe Illustrator to scale, edit, design, and print.

Each vector dieline comes with photos, a brief description, and basic design guidelines to illustrate the structure and become a quick reference for packaging designers.

We hope you enjoy this free book and are able to share the inspiration you find within it’s pages!
