The client approached me to design a range of new oil bottles. Their existing bottles were being refilled with inferior oil, recapped with new cloned caps and resold by a third party. The brief was thus to create a new design which incorporated a more secure tamper evident mechanism. After a bit of thinking it was decided that we would create a visor that would fit over the cap and provide another layer
of protection against fraud. The visor would be sufficiently complicated so as to be expensive to tool up and produce. This would make copying the visor prohibitive. With a little lateral thinking, the visor would also double as a pouring aid. The packs were carefully scaled across the volume range so that one size of the visor could be fitted to all the bottles with only the very small 500ml bottle going without.
Working with the graphics design department we were able to seamlessly incorporate the graphic identity into the new packaging.
