Ingenious Label Design Ensures Food Safety

     Japanese design agency TO-GENKYO has designed an innovative hourglass shaped label for packaged meat which uses a special ink that changes color as ammonia is released inside the package. As the meat ages, it releases increasing amounts of the substance, obscuring the barcode at the bottom. Customers can quickly see if the meat is going bad – and when the barcode becomes completely covered, it can’t be scanned.

The Sweet Donation Bag

             























          
Glam Pack for Blood

• The Sweet Donation Bag is an attempt to redesign the blood collection pouch. 
• It features a sleeve with large cut-outs indicating the blood type (A, B, AB & O). The overall design is much more refined than the current bags in use and the packaging looks sturdy. [If only the cut-outs would have indicated Type+ or Type- then I guess the impact would have been better. ]
• Slicker and tidier to look at;
• It won’t reduce the needle-prick pain!
