Design and Development of Packaging Prototype for Office Syndrome Relief Products

Abstract

This research, entitled "Design and Development of packaging prototype for office syndrome relief products" aims to examine individuals affected by office syndrome and popular therapeutic products, while developing an efficacious packaging prototype for organizing these products and providing comprehensive usage guidelines. The study employs qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews with nine health professionals who meet target demographic parameters, followed by prototype packaging evaluations conducted with three design specialists.

The findings indicate that electric massage guns, neck massagers, and back support belts constitute the three most efficacious and widely utilized office syndrome relief products. Health experts provided detailed information regarding contraindications and optimal usage frequencies, which were incorporated into the packaging's instructional materials. Window box packaging emerged as the most appropriate format due to its transparency, allowing consumers visual access to products before purchase.

The design methodology integrates contemporary design principles: Color and Sensory perception, Minimalist and Geometric composition, and Character-based visual communication. The aesthetic implementation features calming mint-blue chromatic gradients complemented by minimalist anatomical line illustrations that effectively communicate proper usage protocols in a manner appropriate for the professional demographic aged 30-50 years.

The research contributes valuable insights regarding behavioral patterns, knowledge requirements, and consumer preferences within the target demographic. Additionally, it yields an evidence-based packaging prototype that effectively communicates proper product utilization instructions, thereby minimizing improper application and potential adverse effects. The findings present commercial applications for product manufacturers in related sectors while offering crucial consumer perspective data regarding purchasing considerations for therapeutic health products.
