How to Ensure Logo Visibility and Compatibility on Blanka's Black or Dark Packaging
Blanka offers branded packaging options, but there are specific considerations to keep in mind when designing logos for black or dark packaging. This guide provides an overview of printing capabilities, tips for ensuring logo visibility, and recommendations for alternative designs.
Overview of Printing Capabilities
Blanka's printing process supports solid colors only. Metallic and gradient colors are not compatible with the current printing technology. For example, a metallic gold logo will not appear metallic on black packaging; instead, it will be printed as a solid matte color. This limitation applies to all metallic and gradient designs.
Guidelines for Logo Visibility on Dark Packaging
Avoid Dark-on-Dark Designs: Printing a black logo on black packaging is not recommended, as it will likely be invisible. Instead, choose a logo color that contrasts with the black background to ensure your branding is legible and stands out.
Consider Contrast: Dark packaging can make darker logos hard to see. To maintain visibility, provide an alternative, lighter version of your logo specifically for use on black or dark packaging. This ensures your branding remains clear and professional.
Recommendations for Alternative Logo Designs
Use Light Colors: Opt for white or light-colored logos that contrast well with dark packaging.
Simplify the Design: Avoid intricate details that may not print clearly on dark surfaces.
Test Before Printing: Request a sample to ensure your logo appears as intended on the final product.
