• Beauty and Healthcare Package Design

  
  To win loyal customers in this fiercely competitive market, it’s important to understand that high-quality package design is a vital element of a winning marketing strategy. "Pretty," "cute," and "fashionable" are buzzwords in the beauty and healthcare industry. This book presents some of the proven high-quality package designs in the field. The words "organic" and "sweets" are frequently used to entice the female demographic. A simple definition of the word "organic" describes ingredients sourced from nature. Earth tones and images from fruits, plants, the sea, and the sky are often utilized in packages to express the content of such products. The customer receives the powerful message from the package design that nature equates to peace of mind and a sense of security. By using the "sweets" approach, packages and perfumes are made to resemble cakes and desserts. For example, the Sexy Girl hand and body cream comes in fruit punch, strawberry mille-feuille, and peach tart fragrances. The packaging incorporates visuals of mouth-watering sweets for each fragrance. The approach of using packaging design to appeal to women has become a successful ploy in stimulating discussion among women and attracting the attention of female consumers. Designers and creative professionals not only in the package and product design industry but also in other fields will find this book useful as a source of creative ideas for design.

• Modern Collectible Tins (Modern Collectible Tins: Identification & Values)

  Linda McPherson

  
  Collecting antique tins has been a popular hobby for decades. With prices soaring up to $100.00 or more for many older tins, they soon were priced over many collectors' budgets. Modern tins, those more recently available and easy to find, are every bit as collectible, not to mention colorful, fun, and affordable to everyone. Linda McPherson has compiled a second edition of Modern Collectible Tins. With more than 800 colorful photographs, this value guide features hundreds of advertising tins from food products to Crayola Crayons. Tins included are mostly from the last 20 years, but a few go as far back as the 1960s. Many new photographs and categories have been added. There are more figural tins with sections on buildings, banks, miniature lunch-boxes, Roly Polys, vehicles, and much more. This handy guide provides essential information for collectors regarding product name, size, and current collector value. Once opened collectors may not be able to put the lid back on Modern Collectible Tins, Second Edition!

• Design and Technology of Packaging Decoration for the Consumer Market (Sheffield Packaging Technology)

  
  Packaging for the "fast moving consumer goods" market plays a vital role in promoting the product to the customer, as well as in carrying informative and legislative detail. Combining these roles requires commercial awareness, detailed knowledge of the relevant technologies, creative care and consideration of the effects of colors, typefaces, and images that must support the brand.
  
  Design and Technology of Packaging Decoration for the Consumer Market guides you through the technical and commercial factors to consider when planning the decoration, or label, of a package:
  
• the printing technologies
  
• their relevance to the labeling formats or structural package
  
• the application of the label to the structural package
  
• the development of artwork
  
• the use and impact of labeling on a range of consumer products
  
• some legal considerations
  The book concludes with a chapter on future labeling systems.
  
  
  The role of the packaging technologist is to ensure that the creative design is translated into a functional representation. The challenge is to have both the design and the execution working in harmony. With an emphasis on technology, this practical handbook will help you achieve this.
