2018 was a busy year for us. We redesigned and relaunched the site, talked to some of the best designers in the industry, toured a few branding agencies, covered sustainability and packaging waste, discovered all sorts of new packaging materials, and even found time to write about pizza boxes that fold out into little tables. While we know no one reads introductions to year-end lists, we're grateful for everyone making this our most successful year yet.So before we roll into 2019, let's take a look back at some of our most popular articles.
