Package Design Gallery: Part 4 of 4

Each year, the Healthcare Packaging editors evaluate an array of over-the-counter product packaging designs, assessing the pros and cons from a user perspective. Today we review Kotex Daily Liners and TUMS Chewy Bites.

Kotex Daily Liners' feature athletic graphics and colors that, while not exactly new, buck the decades-long trend of pink and purple printing on women’s health products.

Kimberly Clark’s U by Kotex Daily Liners 

PROS 

+ Athletic graphics and colors that, while not exactly new, buck the decades-long trend of pink and purple printing on women’s health products

+ Easy-to-read icons clearly demonstrate usage and disposal directions

+ Plastic bag and drawstring make for an easily portable package, keeping product contained

CONS

– Plastic bag does not appear to have cues for where to open the package

– While the smaller, lighter plastic bag may take up less space than traditional cartons, the plastic does not appear to be recyclable

 

GSK’s TUMS Chewy Bites 

PROS 

+ Wide bottle is an eye-catching shape, easy to hold and consumers can clearly view the tablets

+ Unique V-cut lid is easy to twist open; berry imagery on label matches colorful tablets

CONS

–While the package is easy to open, it required a bit of force to snap the lid back on which could be challenging for those with dexterity issues
