For package designers: online package image gallery

Global Package Gallery contains more than 4,000 high-resolution package images from 37 countries, arranged by product category. Editor’s note: Global Package Gallery is a new Web site by Packaging World, but rather than us tell you about it, we asked a real designer to review it. Here’s what Kevin Saladyga had to say.

I have just discovered a fantastic packaging image gallery on the Web which I encourage you to check out at www.globalpackagegallery.com.

The Global Package Gallery is loaded with a wide range of great packaging images from around the world that are broken out into different product categories. A really neat feature is the ability to see each photo in up to three resolutions, allowing you to really view the smallest package details with a great deal of clarity. You can also download images for presentation purposes, sort of like the popular iStockphoto image gallery, which I absolutely treasure.
One stickler is that in order to view more than five high-resolution images, you must be a paying member, but the $395 annual fee is nominal and well worth the investment. However, the ability to view small thumbnails is available for free to those who opt not to purchase a membership.

Coming from a well-rounded design background, with an emphasis in package design, I really think the Global Package Gallery is onto something, not to mention that I could not find anything else of this caliber online.
