Reflective Pack, No Invented Logo
Glass and foil should reflect the room you named. They should not reflect a logo or a word the model invented.
Reflective packaging should mirror the room, not invent a brand. Glass, foil, and a glossy cap pick up the window as a soft bright shape. They also tempt the model to stamp a word or a crest on the highlight. Ask for a blank label and a reflection of the window only. If you have the real pack, the reflection may change a little, but the printed words may not.
Say what is reflected
"Window rectangle on the glass, no lettering." If you do not forbid letters, highlights become fake type. A reflection of a studio softbox is fine only if that softbox is your light.
Caps and shoulders
The bright spot on a cap should match the same window. A cap lit from the right and a bottle lit from the left were assembled. Check the shoulder of the bottle, where light wraps.
Real photo wins
A generated bottle is a lighting study. The reel that sells should use your photograph if the shape or the print is specific. Do not let a prettier reflection replace the pack you ship.
A worked example
Clear bottle, blank paper label, one window reflected in the shoulder, cap highlight from the same side. Any still that grew a word on the glass is rejected.
Check the still
- The reflection matches one window.
- No new word appears on the glass.
- Cap and bottle are lit from the same side.
Where Scro fits
Start the Scro product reel from the real photo when the pack is recognizable. Approve the still if a reflection invented a mark or shifted the color. Export 9:16.
Reflect the room, not a fake brand. Finished samples are on the examples page.
