今日的忙碌社會,造成上班族生活壓力大,同時也引起許多人身心不適;隨著科學技術的進步,發現許多被萃取自自然界的物質能預防人體疾病,這些物質被製成膠囊、錠劑以方便人類使用。在預防勝於治療及中國人進補養身的觀念盛行之下,許多製藥企業與生技公司角逐競爭於保健市場;然而,由於國內健康食品管理法的規定,未持有健康食品認證不得向消費者廣告其療效,因此坊間的保健食品在包裝上是如何進行廣告銷售的?這是本研究極欲釐清的課題。本研究以質性研究法與初級統計分析國內保健食品包裝設計之現況,以三大製藥企業永信、生達、杏輝之旗下保健食品品牌為例,探討企業在商品包裝設計上及其背後蘊涵的策略。研究結果發現,由於法規限制和保健食品本身藥食如一的曖昧性,業者在包裝設計的圖形、色彩與品名上給予各方面功效的暗示,使消費者對商品產生自由聯想及健康想像,進而引發消費購買行為。再者,製藥業以其長久專業製藥的背景予以品牌健康感性的形象,成為三家企業在保健食品市場的優勢。然而包裝上視覺元素形式多而複雜,不易區隔,因此,品牌識別是國內業者仍可努力的方向。
