Best Practices

Design Elements - **Brand Consistency**: Maintain logo placement, color palette, and typography across packaging - **Hierarchy**: Establish clear visual hierarchy with brand name, product name, and key information - **Whitespace**: Use negative space effectively for premium feel - **Materials**: Consider how design translates to different materials (matte, gloss, kraft, metallic)

Technical Considerations - **Bleed Areas**: Account for printing bleed in design requests - **Die-Cut Windows**: Specify if product should be visible through packaging - **Structural Design**: Describe box/container shape and dimensions - **Print Finishes**: Mention desired finishes (foil stamping, embossing, spot UV)

Industry Standards - **Food Packaging**: Include space for nutrition facts, ingredients, allergens - **Cosmetics**: Plan for ingredients list, usage instructions, warnings - **Beverages**: Account for bottle shape and label wrap-around - **Supplements**: Include supplement facts panel and FDA disclaimer space

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality | |------|----------|-------|---------| | `max` | Final packaging designs, client presentations, print-ready concepts | Slower | Highest | | `eco` | Quick drafts, concept exploration, initial ideation | Faster | Good |
