Top Secret Recipes
Project Details
Packaging design for Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipes -- a three-SKU line of bottled copycat sauces built on Wilbur's bestselling recipe series. The label system had to carry an unusually direct brand premise: these sauces taste exactly like the fast food originals. Color differentiates the SKUs at shelf (red for chicken variants, gold for burger), a chef-icon medallion provides authority, and heavy display type names the original product directly -- a confidence move that turns the comparison into the pitch.

ServicesPackaging Design, Label System, Production Artwork
ScopeLabel design system across three SKUs (Chicken Sandwich Sauce, Chicken Tender Sauce, Burger Special Sauce), chef character / brand icon, color system with shared black border treatment, die-cut label artwork conforming to squeeze bottle profile (front and back), production-ready files with bleed, dieline, and type-limit annotations
OutcomeA cohesive three-SKU label system that competes in a crowded condiment aisle by leading with the comparison rather than avoiding it. Die-cut artwork delivered print-ready for all three variants at 2" x 8.125" format.
