When CreateID8 was given the responsibility of standardizing the product packaging as per the stringent guidelines, we welcomed the opportunity as it was both a challenge and a natural extension of our rebranding mandate to create product packaging which is not only in sync with the set guidelines but also adheres to the brand philosophy””
Mr. Prashant Godha Executive Director – Ipca Laboratories Limited said “Our association with the WITS Interactive group spans over a decade where not only have they been instrumental in rebranding the Ipca brand to be in sync with our business objectives and growth strategies, but through their division Terrawits, they also extended the brand philosophy to our corporate office by redesigning it to be in sync with our brand identity.
