What does vitamin packaging design involve?

Vitamin packaging design is the design of bottle labels, cartons, blister packs and tubs for multivitamins and single nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, iron and fish oil, from one hero product to a full range across needs and life stages.

The Australian vitamin shelf is a wall of white bottles with coloured lids, sold on price at Chemist Warehouse, on advice at pharmacy, and on habit in grocery. The TGA fixes much of the front panel, so brands win on range colour systems, bottle format, claim hierarchy and back-panel clarity.

Morice&Co. contributed to the heritage rebuild of Cenovis, an 88-year Australian vitamins brand, co-designed with Cowan Design, helping codify the mark, colour system and range architecture into a single brand book for national pharmacy and grocery rollout.

00Our position

Most vitamin brands look identical because they copied each other.

Not because the rules require it. The TGA fixes what must be on the label, not what it looks like. There is more room on a vitamin pack than most brands use.

Heritage in vitamins reads as proof.

A shopper has already heard an established brand's claim from their parents. Codifying that equity into a system is worth more than chasing the newest look in the aisle.

The shopper wants one answer in one second.

What it is for, how much is in it, and how many are in the bottle. The front of pack should answer those before it says anything else.

01What we design

Vitamin products we design.

From a single hero SKU to forty-product ranges, each format has its own regulatory panel and its own place on shelf.

Multivitamins

Men's, women's, kids', 50-plus and pregnancy. Life stage is the first thing the shopper looks for, so it sits in a fixed, prominent position.

Single nutrients

Vitamin C, D, B, magnesium, zinc and iron. The strength and the nutrient carry the sale, and the range has to read clearly from two metres.

Fish oil and omegas

Large capsules in big bottles. Under TGO 116, large tablets and capsules need a warning and an actual-size image, which changes the panel.

Family and value packs

Bulk formats bought on price at Chemist Warehouse, where the pack must still look worth the money in a catalogue thumbnail.

Blister cartons

Dose-controlled and travel formats where the carton is the main label and the foil has its own requirements.

Range architecture

Need, life stage or tier as the organising logic, one structural element carrying the variant, and a system that works at three SKUs and at forty.

02The rules

What the TGA fixes on a vitamin label.

Vitamins and minerals with health indications are listed complementary medicines. These elements are fixed inputs, and the brand is built around them.

Name and actives as one unit

The medicine name and the active ingredients with their quantities, presented as one uninterrupted unit on the main label.

Dosage form, count and AUST L

Tablets, capsules or liquid, how many, and the AUST L number, all on the main label.

Warnings and directions

Warnings required by RASML and the Permissible Ingredients Determination, in the mandated wording, plus clear directions for use.

TGO 116 changes

Microgram written in full, more prominent warnings, a defined distinguishing mark for brand names, a minimum text size of 1.5 mm, and the large-capsule warning.

Permitted indications only

Claims must come from the TGA's list of permitted indications. The claim hierarchy is designed around what the product can legally say.

Batch, expiry and sponsor

Batch and expiry with their prefixes, and the sponsor's name and Australian address.

FAQCommon questions

Questions about Vitamin Packaging Design.

  • A single vitamin pack refresh typically starts around AUD $5,000 to $10,000. A brand and packaging system across five to ten SKUs sits in the $20,000 to $60,000 range. A heritage codification or category-leading rebrand across 20 or more SKUs ranges from $60,000 to $150,000 and beyond. Fixed fee, scoped to the brief.

  • Vitamins with health indications are listed complementary medicines. The main label must carry the medicine name with the active ingredients and quantities as one unit, the dosage form and quantity, and the AUST L number. The pack must also carry directions, mandated warnings, batch and expiry with prefixes, and the sponsor's name and Australian address. TGO 116 replaced TGO 92 from October 2026, with a five-year transition.

  • Through range architecture, colour and format rather than louder claims. Most of the category looks the same because brands copied each other. A clear colour system by need or life stage, a distinctive bottle or lid, and a front panel that answers what it is for and how much is in it will stand out at shelf and as a catalogue thumbnail.

  • Yes. Morice&Co. contributed to the heritage rebuild of Cenovis, an 88-year Australian vitamins brand sold through Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Coles and Woolworths, co-designed with Cowan Design.
