Product Insights & Style Tips

The Package Design Book Volume 2 from Taschen captures the fast-evolving pulse of packaging design in a compact, premium package. With more than 600 creations from over 35 countries and a slate of Pentawards winners from the past decade, the edition feels global, authoritative, and relentlessly inspiring. Its hardcover body measures 14 cm by 19.5 cm, weighs 0.993 kg, and opens to 640 pages of work, a tactile testament to breadth without bulk. Priced at 25, it offers serious design heft in a portable form.

This Taschen keeps pace with a busy creative schedule. The compact dimensions make it easy to cradle in one hand, sit-ready on a desk, or slip into a bag for studio sessions. The hardcover protects pages as you flip through hundreds of ideas, while the 640-page spine promises depth and sequence, letting you trace trends across a decade of Pentawards without losing momentum. It sits neatly on a desk or shelf, ready to be pulled for mood boards, client presentations, or late-night inspiration.

Taschen has long treated packaging as a global design language, turning a catalog into a visual education. Volume 2 extends that mission with breadth, rigor, and a compact form that makes it a go-to reference for designers, marketers, and design-curious readers alike. It invites you to study how container graphics travel across countries, and to let the best ideas inform your own storytelling through color, typography, and form.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

The package design book presents a visual feast of packaging across 35 countries. The compact hardcover invites squint-worthy detail; expect bold typography, texture, color blocking, and tactile finishes. As a styling object, it reads editorial, aspirational, a statement piece on a coffee table. The imagery fosters a dynamic, global design mood.

Craftsmanship: 8/10

Premium materials and sturdy binding are suggested by Taschen's reputation and the book's 640 page count. The hardcover format implies durable construction, with crisp image reproduction and thoughtful layout across spreads. Close attention to grid alignment and typographic balance hints at high craftsmanship, while uniform margins and clean spines reinforce a professional, gallery-ready feel.

Affordability: $$$$

At a modest price for a substantial design compendium, the value feels justified. The volume delivers breadth across continents and a decade of Pentawards winners, making it a long term reference rather than a quick novelty. The cost aligns with its design-forward appeal, offering enduring inspiration without veering into luxury-only territory.
