Over the past decade, we have come to realize that mass loss on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) plays a significant role in the formation of planetary nebulae (PN). Mass ejected during the AGB can now be observed in haloes of PN and we believe that the main shell of PN is formed by the interaction of this material with a later-developed central-star wind. In this review, we show that the evolution from AGB to PN can be traced in a continuous infrared sequence. This sequence predicts properties of proto-PN which allow them to be identified.
