NVC seminar Trends in Japanese packaging

Daedalus, the study association Industrial Design (4-25 May 2018, supported by the NVC Chair Packaging Design and Management of Twente University). Special speaker is Andrew Streeter, international authority in the field of packaging in Japan with over thirty years of experience in this field.
