I find the supermarket to be a great resource for food packaging, they have literally thousands of samples, and nearly if not all of them are available for a very reasonable price, as a bonus they include the ACTUAL food inside the product so you can get a real feel for the whole product, and they also offer loyalty cards if you happen to be a hardcore packaging fan.

also .. if you're not wanting to spend money on the food .. if you go to speciality stores that put their more expensive items on display for tasting you can nab the empty containers after (just ask them to put them aside for you) .. take the packaging apart .. scan it .. draw it .. change it somehow
also .. def get a book on packaging templates

Thanks, _salisae_.
Have a couple of books. I'm looking for more technical information—for example:
who makes the haagen dazs container.
Types of sealed container. and the likes.

I have lots of food packaging. I you like I will collect all the item in my house and put them in a Black plastic bag for you. I will leave them out side the house for you to collect at anytime this week.
Please be advised that other people might be interested in these items. So there is a dead line to collecting these good of interrest.

even though rasko was taking the piss by suggesting trying the supermarket ... dont the people who MAKE the containers for the food companies have their name/logo hidden like on the bottom, under flaps, inside etc?
just suggesting this cos i used to work at safeway and remember that Tetrapak used to have their logo on the side of stuff they did.
