Task

There are situations when the shelf life of products is not indicated. One of examples is barrel pickles. They are usually packaged in a plastic bag or plastic container. The shelf life of products can be different and depends on many factors: salting, storage temperature, microflora in the refrigerator. Even if the pickles starts to deteriorate, they can still be eaten. But spoiled pickles can cause severe poisoning.

Ideas and solutions

banka is a smart packaging that takes care of your health. It is covered inside by a special substance, which is safe for humans, it reacts to the development of harmful bacteria in pickles. The reaction area increases and hides the contents as they develop. The product should not be eaten, when the contents are completely hidden. This principle will be understood by people from different countries and cultures. The main task was to show the reaction graph. It was important to make it neutral, do not use disturbing colors, menacing symbols and inscriptions. This effect lies in the principle of the development of the reaction. banka has the shape of a classic glass jar, inside of which the product itself is visible. There are provided packages of different volumes. This shape is convenient for storage in the refrigerator and during transportation. A zip-lock is provided for tightness. I would like to attract attention to the problem of storing pickles with this concept and solve it with the help of graphic design. I hope this work will prompt experts to find a solution in this area and will be useful to people.
