About this title

Synopsis

Existing packaging books are aimed at graphic designers or specialist packaging designers, and don't provide enough information for the 15 million designer-makers that have changed the face of online selling over the last five years. Crafter's Guide to Packaging Handmade Products is aimed solely at these crafters and creators making sense of specialist terms, standard envelope sizes, folding terminology, and measurements. Advice ranges from the simple - how to customise basic boxes and labels with printing, creative washi tape, or other designs and shapes; to the more complex - making your own packaging and recycling old material to make new packaging. Also included are printable templates and a resources section at the back of the book with handy sizing charts, standard envelope sizes across the world, ratios for scaling the accompanying templates, and measurement conversion charts, making this a truly indispensable resource for the creative and innovative crafter and seller.
