The set, called the Neil Young Archives, Volume 1, is a time capsule of Young's musical and personal journeys from 1963 to 1972, and the packaging sets the stage for hours of musical and reading enjoyment that engages consumers with the feeling they are getting to know the entertainer close-up. The boxed set won a Grammy Award in January for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.

The elaborate boxed set, in its complete version, contains multiple CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and a replica of Young's revealing personal journal.

Created by R. Twerk & Co., the boxed set was designed to meet two of Young's requirements: It is durable and eco-friendly. The outer box and CD carriers inside the container are SBS board and corrugated partitions from Jenco Productions. They're printed in six colors and four process colors, plus a spot black and spot varnish to accentuate the fine graphic details. Those include a "wrap" of newspapers of the era and artwork that embodies Young's early years as a musician.

The graphics are printed on Monadnock Duraprint, an environmentally friendly paper from Monadnock Paper Mills.
