Chilli Sauce Packaging

Background

Red Dew Chili Farm, a renowned producer of high-quality chili sauces, aimed to rebrand its hot sauce product line to enhance market appeal and visibility. The goal was to create a packaging design that effectively communicates the product’s unique qualities, including its intense heat and premium ingredients, while standing out on retail shelves.

Design Objectives:

  1. Visual Appeal: Create an eye-catching design that captures the attention of consumers.
  2. Brand Identity: Reflect the brand’s identity and the product’s fiery nature.
  3. Information Clarity: Clearly display key product information, such as the Scoville heat units (SHU) and ingredient highlights.
  4. Usability: Ensure the packaging is functional and user-friendly.
  5. Consistency: Maintain consistency with Red Dew Chili Farm’s overall branding.

Design Features:

  1. Color Scheme:

    • Primary Colors: Red and green are prominently used, symbolizing chili peppers and freshness.
    • Background: A clean, light purple background provides a contrast that makes the red and green elements pop, enhancing visibility.

  2. Graphics and Imagery:

    • Chili Peppers: Vibrant images of red chili peppers emphasize the product’s main ingredient and its spiciness.
    • Splashes and Leaves: Illustrations of chili splashes and green leaves add dynamism and a sense of natural ingredients.
    • Pattern: A repeated pattern of chili and splash icons creates a cohesive and attractive visual texture.

  3. Typography:

    • Brand Name: “Red Dew Chili Farm” is prominently displayed at the top in a bold red font, ensuring brand recognition.
    • Product Name and SHU: “Hot Sauce” and “Scoville heat units (SHU) 100,000” are clearly written, highlighting the product’s intensity and quality.
    • Description: The back of the packaging includes a detailed description of the product, its uses, and benefits in smaller, readable text.

  4. Functional Aspects:

    • Packaging Type: A resealable pouch ensures the sauce stays fresh and is easy to use.
    • Size and Shape: The compact and ergonomic design makes it convenient for both retail display and consumer handling.
