Hello THP,

I am too early in my hot sauce journey to do anything commercial, but I am making a fun sauce for my father's 70th bday. These are the labels for his hot sauce gift (extra bottles for my brothers and family too). Anyways, I was practicing making a "legit" label for this fun project. So, my question is how close did I get to a compliant label? How does this look? Any feedback... I am just trying to learn, while having fun. THANK YOU.

(Note, the QR code is pointing to a random vid on my YouTube. It will redirect to a dedicated video once it's complete.)

Looks like a fun for family label. I wouldn't like it for a commercial sauce, but for a special occasion, sure.

Nitpicky things...
I think the PPP should have an address or phone number to be a legit label.
I think the green font should be a darker green for easier reading.

Have fun and congrats to Pops!

Ps... if you have pics or a vid of the party, please share.

Are those peppers or flowers in the photo?
I think more pepper pictures
Do you have another photo you can use with people and peppers?
Will the contents be purple?
Also thinking about the contrast

I would write "superhot" peppers as one word instead of super hot.

I was trying to think of a cheeky way you could highlight the number 70. This is what I came up with:

Tres Chicos Muy Malos
Fermented Hot Sauce
Aged 70 Years

Ha. The aged 70 years could be a fun little thing to put on there. 😏

"...including Ghost and Carolina Reaper peppers."




Fyi.... you may receive a Cease and Desist notice from Montezuma hot sauce who claim to have a (trade mark?) On the words ' smoky chipotle'. They have tried to get many companies including Kraft Foods to stop using smoky chipotle, but that horse is long gone out of the barn. There are other ways to describe it such as.... the smoky flavor of chipotles...
Just a heads up.

Thanks for all the feedback! I learned a ton and will be more prepared if I ever go commercial!

@HerbCasa This photo and the "tres chicos malos" saying is something my Dad loves. So I went with it.

@The Hot Pepper I updated my diction on the YouTube description, bit was too late for the label. And as you predicted, the font on the nutrition statement and ingredients was way too small.

@salsalady I will definitely post my next label proof up here BEFORE I print next time.

Thanks again all of you! 🤗
