The labels for this line of Thai sauces incorporate Thai cultural elements and acknowledge design facets from existing Thai food packaging. The octopus looks like it is really enjoying these sauces. Having the ingredients wrapped in its tentacles is a cute touch.

Project Description

The creative team designed the overall brand for Apinya Thai Food Co. based on extensive research of Thai cultural design elements and existing Thai food packaging. The brief required that the product be quickly visually recognizable, include references to Thai culture, and focus on details to convey a high-quality product. The label artwork was custom illustrated to reflect a “maximal” aesthetic of Thai design while staying visually balanced.

The octopus character is unique, eye-catching, and real octopus pairs well with the hot sauce itself. A clear label was used to include the bright color of the sauce as part of the design. The octopus’s tentacles showcase the main ingredients and he even has a mouth full of the sauce if you look closely.

Production Lesson(s)

The first time these were printed, the polypropylene was too thin and melted as the bottles were filled. We had to research thicker varieties that could withstand up to 200-degree heat.”
