Packaging is the ultimate vehicle for design: industrial, graphic, and typographic design are all put to the test to create an impression so meaningful that it converts currency into consumerism. This ...
PhysioLogics® chose O.BERK Company to revitalize the packaging for its line of high-quality vitamins and supplements sold only through healthcare professionals. PhysioLogics produces over 200 products with state-of-the-art controls of the highest standards in both the lab and manufacturing environments.
Their supplements are used for a variety of health reasons including cardiovascular, digestion, joint, vision, and bone support. For over 20 years, this line was packaged in white high-density polyethylene wide-mouth rounds, similar to many products in this industry. To differentiate this high quality line in a competitive marketplace and to become more environmentally friendly, PhysioLogics took O.BERK’s guidance and switched to wide-mouth rounds in cobalt blue glass, which is non-leaching, non-porous, and odorless. New labels were produced that complement the cobalt blue glass bottles.
One unique aspect of this packaging solution was the unishell silver metal cap with an embossed logo and heat seal liner, which provides a level of tamper-evidence (in addition to a cellophane band). This is the first time that this process has been accomplished, and it took nearly a year to produce the type of metal closure and liner that was required to meet PhysioLogics’ quality standards.
PhysioLogics is a division of Natures Bounty Inc. O.BERK Company is a major full-service supplier of glass, plastic, and metal containers; metal and plastic closures; and a total packaging resource for the pharmaceutical/healthcare, cosmetic/personal care, food/beverage, and chemical/industrial markets.
