A survey of recent packaging design drawn from the Pentawards competitions of 2023 and 2024. It gives particular attention to "design with impact", packaging meant to bring about change as well as sell, with examples including Bosai's earthquake kit, Raras' "imperfect" bottles raising awareness of rare diseases, One Good Thing's edible packaging and Dell's fully recyclable laptop box.
Suits packaging and graphic designers, brand teams and students who want a broad visual record of current award-winning work, especially around sustainability and inclusive design. At 592 pages it is a large reference volume rather than a quick read.
Published by TASCHEN on 23 June 2025, in English, and running to 592 pages. It measures 23.7 x 5.1 x 25.6 cm, so expect a heavy, thick book that needs proper shelf space. This is the eighth volume in the series, covering the 2023 and 2024 competitions only. ISBN-13 978-3754403235, ISBN-10 3754403230.
