2.3 Packaging Sizes and Shapes

In this lesson you will get an introduction to the different packaging sizes and shapes for cardboard and paper boxes. Choosing the right shape is important not only for the function and design, but also for the price. You can go fancy with boxes, but sometimes it is good to find the right balance between super cheap and super expensive.
