The who: Rippah Chili Oil

The where: Toronto, ON

The vibe: Small-batch chili oil with big, globally inspired flavor

When Nicola moved to Canada from Australia, she was starting fresh in every way. Seeking comfort in spices that reminded her of home, she couldn't find a chili oil that captured the depth of flavor she was used to growing up with a mother from Hong Kong. That search inspired her to create Rippah Chili Oil, a small-batch, globally inspired condiment designed to make every dish a "rippah" meal.

To take her Toronto-made brand from local kitchens to retail shelves across the country, Nicola partnered with StickerYou and created professional, premium packaging and custom gear.

The Challenge: Making a Split-Second Retail Impact

Nicola knows that customers make split-second decisions on whether to buy a product based entirely on its labeling and packaging. Operating in a competitive gourmet food market meant Rippah Chili Oil needed premium, eye-catching labels that stood out immediately on store shelves while accurately reflecting the care, quality, and bold flavor inside every jar.

The StickerYou Solution

By utilizing a combination of product labels, apparel transfers, and promotional stickers, Rippah Chili Oil transformed their packaging into a powerful sales driver.

1. Crystal Clear Sticker Pages for Glass Jar Labels

To showcase the rich, vibrant color and textured ingredients of her chili oil, Nicola uses Crystal Clear Stickers. The glass-like clear finish allows the product itself to shine through while keeping the bold "RIPPAH" logo front-and-center. Now each jar has a sleek, professional, and seamless look.

2. Custom Die-Cut Vinyl Stickers

To build brand awareness beyond the jar, Rippah Chili Oil uses durable Custom Die-Cut Vinyl Stickers featuring their mascot and branding. With fast shipping and ultimate durability, these stickers are perfect for fans to stick on laptops, water bottles, and gear.

3. Custom DTF Transfers for Branded Apparel

Rippah’s team looks unified with custom merch and apparel made using Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers. Easily ironed onto t-shirts and bucket hats, these durable heat transfers allow the brand to showcase their identity wherever they go.

The Result: They’re Flying Off the Shelves

Since upgrading her packaging and branding with StickerYou, Nicola has seen a direct increase in retail sales. With eye-catching, reliable labeling and a partner built to scale alongside her growing business, Rippah Chili Oil is well on its way to becoming a household name.

"Since using StickerYou, I've seen an increase in the sales that I'm getting from my retailers,” says Nicola, Rippah founder & CEO. “I like working with them because I feel like they understand my vision, and they genuinely want to help me achieve that vision."
