Finenutri

Finenutri is a packaging design for a nutritional supplement brand created for women over 25 years old. The bottle is made of PETG material and measures 105 by 55 by 55 millimetres, a size that can be held in one hand. A dual layer structure combines a frosted outer shell with a food grade inner container. Sandblasting gives the outer shell a fine matte texture and a soft translucency. The translucent shell shows the remaining capsules, so the bottle is opened less often. The structure blocks light and helps protect the active ingredients.

Achieving the correct perspective in both sets of images was necessary and a significant challenge to ensure seamless compositions.
