# Spherical Pill Containers Artoflex Plus' Upscale Pill Packaging Mimics Balance and Bones By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pill-container References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2014/08/artroflex-plus.html) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/18568707/Artroflex-Plus-) Rather than opting for a conventional, square container to hold the Artoflex Plus supplements, this design by the 525 Creative Lab Kft. is rounded. The Artoflex Plus supplements include collagen peptide, a natural component that's found in several parts of the body, including bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Inspired by this, a special [spherical package](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romantica-jar) was made, taking cues from the sockets and ball joints on bones. As well as being appealing to look at, the [pill packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m7-pill-organizer) also subtly suggests that it contains a product that is balanced and well-rounded, without being overt about this statement. The coloring of the packaging is suggestive of a high quality product too, which comes through with the use of a decadent black and gold color scheme that's used for the typography and packaging material itself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Spherical Packaging:** Designing products with spherical packaging that incorporate inspiration from elements of the product. - **Upscale Packaging:** Creating packaging with high-end materials and color schemes to suggest a premium product. - **Balanced Product Messaging:** Using packaging design to subtly convey a message of balance and well-roundedness of the product. ### Where This Applies - **Pharmaceuticals:** Using spherical packaging to improve the visual appeal of pill containers and suggest balance messaging. - **Cosmetics:** Creating upscale packaging and luxurious color schemes to appeal to high-end customers. - **Supplements:** Exploring new packaging designs to enhance the perceived value, quality, and differentiation of the product. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pocket-Sized Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-capsule.md) - [Shape-Making Cream Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapeup-tube.md) - [Design-Forward Supplement Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supplement-packaging1.md) - [Hybrid Beauty Bottle-Tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oval-collection.md) - [Design-Led Pill Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stylish-pill-box.md) - [Targeted Treatment Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharma-care.md) - [Modernized Waste-Free Medication Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-medicine-dispenser.md) - [Biodegradable Supplement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vapsula.md) - [Paperboard Supplement Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-based-canister.md)
