Where can I find blank retail packaging containers? I am looking for something along the lines of dishwasher bottles, dish detergent bottles, cereal boxes, laundry deteregent, perfume spritzers... you hopefully get the idea. If they are all on the same shot angle it would be even better!!

I have found this site but I was hoping to find a higher resolution.

Wait, you want to buy actual blanks or get photos of blanks? Your question is confusing me.

Yes, I am confused by the question as well. At the risk that I am answering a question you didn't ask, I am going to offer up The Packaging and Design Template Sourcebook. It comes with a CD-ROM that allows you to print out templates for all sorts of packaging. Unfortunately, this is going to be limited to packages made from folded paper/cardboard rather than molded plastic.

Response by poster: Sorry! To clear up any confusion, I am looking for photos of blanks!

Will 3D models do? You can get scary-realistic with shapes like those of a typical dishwasher detergent bottle.

If I were looking for photos of blanks, I would purchase something like this (which I own and love), assemble, and photograph it myself. I just did a quick search through the major vendors of stock photos and didn't see anything similar.

Maybe contact the owners of the site you linked to and ask them for higher-resolution images, and if they want money, pay them?

It'd probably be a lot easier to make recommendations if we knew what all this was for.

This library/site has (and sells) pictures of blank packaging (among other blank stuff) in almost every field.
