Overview
Vidora is a pharmaceutical industry which produces supplements, medicines and personal care products.
Challenge
Creation of a pharmaceutical packaging design for two pharmaceutical forms of simethicone: solution and liquid capsules.
The goal of this project was to create the name and packaging for simethicone under the Vidora brand, for both solution and liquid capsule forms. Simethicone is a medication used in the treatment of flatulence, and this type of product has a well-established visual identity based on the prevalence of the use of the color green.

Printing approval
After completing the design, the files were sent to the printing company. The first step in the printing approval process was to approve the digital printing proofs that served as a base for plate preparation.
Next, I was present during the first printing session of each packaging to check the color balance and identify possible design mistakes. Some minor adjustments were suggested regarding the amount of yellow ink, and after calibration, the result was successfully printed and approved.
