Top 5 Label and Packaging Blogs

I read a lot of blogs. I try and subscribe to every blog I find that is relevant to the label and packaging industry. While I don't read every word published by these blogs I do try and scan the headlines so I can keep the pulse of what is happening in this industry. So here I have gathered what I consider to be the five most important blogs for those people who buy labels and packaging. You can learn a great deal from these blogs, I encourage you to check them out below and subscribe to the ones that most appeal to you.

The Dieline - if you are involved in packaging design in any way this blog is a must read. It really is "the worlds #1 packaging design website", a claim they make on their site. Every day they publish some of the most innovative and beautiful packaging being created. The photo above is from a recent post on the Dieline.

Sustainable is Good - is focused on sustainable packaging. With a variety of contributors you will read about unique packaging that is created with environmental sustainability in mind. Even though the focus is sustainable packaging you will see some eye-catching designs on this blog.

Lovely Package - is another blog featuring beautiful packaging designs. It is similar to the Dieline but has a more international focus, so you will see striking packaging from all over the world.

Packaging Diva - one of the blogs by Joann Hines, also known as the Packaging Diva. This blog focuses on educating the reader about all aspects of packaging. While there are lots of pretty packaging pictures, the real value of the Packaging Diva's blog are the articles about all aspects of branding and packaging.

The Package Unseen - this is a more cerebral blog that discusses packaging design in the context of the impact it has on our culture. Authored by Richard Shear who has over 25 years experience in international consumer package design for such big players as Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson and Proctor & Gamble.

Fair question Adrian. There are very few blogs that focus just on label printing, and those that do write about the industry as a whole. I will be putting together a Top 10 list of label converter blogs in an upcoming column for Label & Narrow Web magazine.
