Red Dot Remedies is an introductory kit to traditional remedies and herbal medications of Singapore.
It can be used to tackle skin issues, respiratory issues and insect bites that may inflict first time visitors of Singapore.The kit also provides cures for common ailments such as colds and headaches. The best part is it offers a collection of 8 homemade local remedies ready made (6 bottled and 2 types of drinks) for your convenient usage. However, if you want to, the User Guide also gives you instructions how on to make these homemade cures yourselves.
Also featured in this kit are the top herbal medicines of Singapore - Tiger balm and Axe Brand Oil. They have been household favourites in Singapore, and has been gaining recognition abroad as well.
The entire box was handmade for this project, and opens up as seen below.
Name: The name is derived from Singapore's nickname of "Little Red Dot", because it is a small country and is only portrayed as a dot on the world map.
Sustainability: I really wanted to create a packaging that is reusable after its products have been used so that it would be more sustainable. The reusable aspect was a driving force in all the design prototypes of my box. I designed a multi-layered box that was inspired by an Apothecary Cabinet. One layer has different compartments while the other does not so that it gives user more flexibility when they reuse the box for other purposes.
Product Expansion: There is also free space where the pamphlets are kept so that the user can purchase more remedies if they enjoyed the intro kit. Remedies can be stacked above the paper pamphlets.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
