Using the powerful themes of the book as inspiration, the packaging for 1984 resembles something straight out of the novel itself. The case is a specially made cardboard box specially treated polyurethane. The official-looking label around it says things such as “Passed Inspection by Thought Police” and bears the logo of the Ministry of Truth. There are a series of numbers we do not understand and text that is blocked out by a black marker. Inside the box lies the newly designed novel that has been disguised by the packaging, as if it has been smuggled to get to the consumer. It has a totalitarian look to it and feels as though it has come straight out of 1984.
