1. Dimension (length,width) of text area and all about Labels and Aluminium pouch: I attach the skeletons of each packaging material where you can find this information.(See attached file: 1336_3 Alupouch.pdf)(See attached file: 1321_5 Left label.pdf)(See attached file: 1320_6 Right label.pdf)
2. The based color of Aluminium pouch is green (PMS360).Is it possible to use a color other than green? It is considered that the green colour is an important branding element that helps to maintain consistency of the global image of Eklira Genuair, for this reason Eklira uses this colour in the packaging in all countries. Could you please let us know which is the reason for a colour change? Which colour would you suggest?
3. Is color of text and Logo possible to use in color? In the case, do you cost more? The aluminium already has 3 colors, to include more colors increase the complexity for our suppliers for this type of material. In the other hand, the standard color of the logo (green) is the same of the background aluminium color, so we can not use the same color for the logo.
4. Is font of trade mark " Eklira Genuair" possible to use a font other than it? The Eklira Genuair logo is made with the symbol of the trade mark and the "Eklira Genuair" text with the specified font; both elements are used as the product logo in all elements (packaging, promotional materials, etc.). We use a different font for other text in the packaging (Frutiger).
5. Regarding the symbol of trade mark (please find attachment-1), have we to draw the symbol at left side of Japanese trade mark ? As per the previous point the symbol and their position is part of the product logo.
Anyway with your point we have checked the logo and it is only designed for Latin alphabet, not for Japanese alphabet. We suppose you need it in Japanese alphabet so our Global marketing colleagues will take care of this point.
6. Have we to paste the Label to both side of inhaler? Yes. Is it possible to paste to only one side? One side is used to print variable data and information, and the other side is the main side that contains the brand and other information.
7. Please send us the templates of trade mark and Armirall's Logo. I attach two files that contains the trade mark and the Almirall´s Logo
(with Latin alphabet). (See attached file: Almirall Logo.pdf)(See attached file: Eklira Logo.pdf)
In addition please advice to us the information about dimension (length,width) of trade mark and Armirall's Logo (please find attachment-2).You can measure the dimension of these elements directly on the file, the file is build with the real sizes in Illustrator.
8. Regarding Aluminium pouch, is it possible to draw the bar code (GS1-databar limited) to space between text area and "Lot / Exp" area (please find attachment-2)? It is possible to print a barcode in the space you specified, but what type of barcode (GTIN13, or others)? The code to be used will be provided by Kyorin Pharmaceutical or do you need that Almirall provide ones? Finally we recommend testing the readability of the barcode on this surface.
9. Regarding the words of "Lot" and "Exp" ,are we possible to replace to Japanese language? Of course, but keeping the order. The artworks that we send are only templates in English in order that you translate into Japanese language.
Regarding the other packaging materials in other to help you to maintain the Eklira trade dress please let us know in which way you prefer we help you: we can send examples for other countries, we can prepare drafts with your key lines, or any other option is the best for you.
