Design process - 100 things product research

I have decided that I am going to make my 10 items into an all in one package that a new member of a gym would receive once joined.

Two of the 10 products will be a supplement shaker bottle and a water bottle which I will design some transfers for that will be placed on the bottle.


 

There are many different designs for these shaker bottles and various shapes, sizes and colours are out there. but I will want the design to fit the theme of the package, so I will need to look into what my colour scheme will be, i think I want to use quite a dark colour, so I was thinking of a navy blue as I think this is the colour that would best suit a give away gym package. However I must also consider this is a package mainly focusing on nutrition, therefore maybe a dark blue would not be the best colour to communicate the concept of this package.

I also need to find a supplier for a plain shaker bottle that has no existing brands on it, this is not turning out to be that easy, as the only place that seems to sell unbranded shaker bottles are the wholesale companies such as Tradekey,  that only work in large orders, I also found a manufactures website but again only dealt with in bulk orders and it's in China, Vonkka , I am not sure if I will be able to buy just one individual un branded bottle. 

I think I will have an easier task finding an unbranded water bottle but I will also have difficulty matching the colour of the 2 products.



I may have to buy a branded shaker and see if I can remove the transfers, this will probably be an easier option, but first i must decide on the colour scheme so I can buy to match

Colour Schemes



















There is no set trend in all of the brands I have looked at, however I still feel a blue or a green would best suit the style of the package.

Pantone green options




Pantone blue options



I think the final decision will be when I design the leaflets, I will try various different colours to choose which ever suits the style better.
