Generate 5 packaging design prompts:

**1. Primary Display Panel (Front)**
- Brand logo placement and hierarchy
- Product name and variant
- Key visual (product photo, illustration, or pattern)
- Required claims or certifications
- Color blocking and typography hierarchy
- Shelf standout strategy (how it pops against competitors)

**2. Full Package Render (3D Mockup)**
- Package shown at 3/4 angle
- All visible panels with design applied
- Realistic material rendering (matte board, glossy, kraft paper, metallic foil)
- Shadow and reflection for grounding
- High enough quality for investor deck or pitch

**3. Shelf Context (Planogram View)**
- Your package among competitors on a retail shelf
- Multiple facing units (2-3 side by side)
- Realistic shelf lighting and shadows
- Demonstrates differentiation and visibility
- Eye-level perspective

**4. Unboxing Experience (if applicable)**
- Package opened showing interior
- Interior printing, tissue paper, inserts
- Product revealed inside packaging
- Aspirational lifestyle context
- Social-media-shareable moment

**5. Product Line Extension (3 variants)**
- Same design system, 3 different flavors/scents/variants
- Color-coding differentiation strategy
- Consistent brand elements across all
- Family resemblance on shelf
- System that scales to more variants

For each prompt: specify packaging dimensions, material finishes (spot UV, foil stamp, emboss, soft touch), printing technique (offset, digital, flexo), sustainability elements (recyclable, compostable), and regulatory placement requirements. Write as prompts that produce photorealistic packaging renders.
