RXBAR Layers layered protein bar brand identity design by Kaleidoscope

RXBAR

The Challenge

Since 2013, RXBAR has built its reputation on radical simplicity. Clean ingredients, no BS, and packaging that puts what’s inside front and center. When the brand introduced RXBAR Layers, a new line of protein bars designed to deliver a richer, more indulgent experience, the packaging had to evolve without losing what made the original iconic. The challenge was extending the brand into new territory while keeping loyalists grounded and newcomers intrigued.

Our Approach

Kaleidoscope designed the RXBAR Layers packaging to stand out at shelf while staying true to the brand’s DNA. We retained the familiar equity consumers already trusted and slimmed the overall silhouette to signal something new. The result is a design extension that feels like RXBAR, but with a layer of indulgence built in.
