Questions & Answers
What are the Pentawards and why do they matter?
The Pentawards are the world’s largest and most respected awards for packaging design. Each year the global design industry competes – from large corporations to independent studios. Being included in The Package Design Book means being recognised as genuinely world-class. No other publication covers the full breadth of global packaging design at this level.
What makes Volume 8 different from previous editions?
Volume 8 captures a turning point in the industry. The awarded designs think beyond the container: edible packaging by One Good Thing, Dell’s 100 % recyclable laptop box, Rara’s “imperfect” bottles raising awareness for rare diseases, and Bosai’s earthquake emergency kit. The big theme is “Design with Impact” – packaging that doesn’t just sell a product, but creates change.
Do I need to know the previous volumes to enjoy this book?
Not at all. Each volume of The Package Design Book is a complete, standalone work. Volume 8 is an entirely self-contained reference – no prior editions needed to appreciate it or give it as a gift.
Who is this book a good gift for?
Ideal for graphic designers, art directors, brand managers, packaging developers and anyone who loves design books – whether professionally or out of genuine interest. Because it is so visually powerful, it also works for design-curious people who want to add a truly substantial piece to their coffee table. A particularly well-received gift for creatives at any level.
Does it work as a coffee table book?
Very much so. At 23.7 × 25.6 cm, 592 pages and 3.11 kg, The Package Design Book 8 has exactly the weight and format that makes a statement on a designer’s table. TASCHEN is known for precise production standards – the book itself is an object.
