Cholula-Salsa-Packaging-Line-Extension-0.jpg

Cholula Extra Hot Salsa Packaging

Cholula is the delicious result of a generations-old recipe and rich Mexican heritage. This product line extension was developed to launch Cholula Extra Hot Salsa. The scope of work included adapting the core brand identity into a new retail label concept, leveraging current market color strategies to reinforce flavor differentiation while enhancing shelf impact in-store, and producing press-ready artwork delivered as final production mechanical.

A unique design challenge for this initiative involved a thoughtful reassessment of how to blend the beloved La Chila artwork, a core brand equity, with the the new black label. The final design balances brand consistency with clear flavor hierarchy within the product line, creating a seamless yet differentiated extension across the portfolio.

Designed in collaboration with McCormick and Company's in-house creative team.
