Today ive been looking at packaging and how it works getting into the mind of the designer and begining to think how thins are done and potentially printed.

 The childrens packaging here interesting bright colours-expensive to print so dont buy the bottle this colour! how it works as a range fun for children front of product head dinosaur back the tail of dinosaur. be printing on a sticky cellophane and cut added to bottle/ pad printed onto it.

 Jam jars have the feel that there home made expensive feel just printed stickers for these 4 colour print

 Cravendale- milk? really ive never seen these type of designs on the cartons i think they have gone for a more objective fel recently with cows on the front! yet nice design simple each box has used duotones..

  think for packaging this cream is far too complex unsure where i shold be looking or what the product is?? possibly a hexographic print as there are a few very bright colours here!

 Simple and whats good about this design is that the photography is very effective within context grow your own and in a pile of seeds standing tall as if it has grown! The illustrations have come out well lovely vibrant colours i belive this to e down to very good software skills! hoping to improve mine.

 Lighthearted packaging again this is a god board you can see a range of products and the final image of it has a net in context. Really explains a story. simple colours black and bright shades and alot of white space. composition looks balanced. offset litho printed.

 I admire the rawness of the image above hand rawn cut out shapes on a recylced texture paper bold colours which are reversed front to back.

 The colours on these simple grey shapes really stand out and appear to be so effective on simple box packaging how design changes the appel of a product wonderful!! litho print die cut

 Printing on bags can be done in two ways screenprint onto ready made bag or print onto stock and hand folded im unsure which would be most cost efficent.

 I put these on here as they are nets to very interesting packages:
