Design for print

Looking into packaging for my books


After looking at paper folding ways to hold my publications i started to look at different types of packaging that i thought would be suitable, they are very simple but do the job well.

The one above as you can see is very simple but i dont think its suitable to what i want to contain inside it, because i'm going to have quite a thick book to put inside. 

I feel like this package above is a lot more suitable, it can hold a large amount of books that range in thickness i also like how it folds out to reveal whats inside. the best thing about it as well is that its so simple i can be easily made. 

This again is very simple, but it does a job, its something that can be easily re created, it forms a very simple book that although the one above holds thin items it could be applied to thicker items and so could be useful for my publications. 

This again is simple, it only requires a few folds and can hold a range of different items, but if the item is too thick it might be hard for it to hold and so may not be subtable for my stock book, but it would be okay to hold my 4 publications in. 

Again above is a very simple design, at first i liked it but now looking at it closely i feel like its a bit boring and it wont really 'package' my publications like the other ones. 

Now above is a much more complicated box, it has a very hard opening mechanism, but it looks amazing and there is a lot of scope with it and a lot of fun to be had with it. But the shape and difficulty of it may not be very practical for what i want to do. 

This one i feel is good for what i want becasue it holds a range of different sized publications but also folds up into a pack, the only problem would be working out the correct size dimensions for it to fit my work into.
