Summary: Good elementary review of basic packaging technology.
Review: As a reference text, this book is a good beginning for anyone not totally familiar with the packaging industry. Hence it can be used as a starting point to begin further detailed investigation into specific subjects. Probably not worth the $200+ price, as it will mostly sit on your shelf as a reference text. Better information could be obtained from other sources or via the library.

Summary: Excellent one-stop reference for a very complex field
Review: The 1997 edition of the Encyclopedia of Packaging Technology is an excellent reference for anyone who works with packaging, especially for those people who have no academic or vocational training in these subjects. You will get the clearest explanations of any subject that falls under packaging. I only wish it included the original material from 1986. The 1997 edition adds to what is in 1986, but if you do not have the 1986 edition, you will be missing relevant background on the older technologies. The only packaging reference you will need unless you are trying to figure out how to actually create a package.
