Do They Say Anything About the Food?
Nope. These circles or squares have nothing to do with the food inside. They don’t indicate flavor, ingredients, healthiness, or expiry. They are purely for the printing team’s eyes, not the consumer.
How It Works
-
Technicians check the color blocks during the printing process to make sure everything is in alignment.
-
They also ensure that the ink is flowing properly and the print is sharp and clear.
-
In some cases, additional colors may appear if a brand uses special inks like metallics or specific Pantone shades.
Fun Fact: Why CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). These are the base inks used in full-color printing. By layering these colors, printers can create thousands of different hues and shades.
Why Should You Care?
While these color circles won’t change how your food tastes, they’re a cool reminder of the invisible work that goes into creating a product’s look and feel. So next time you unwrap a snack and spot those little dots, you’ll know they’re not random—they’re part of a highly technical process that ensures your favorite brand looks exactly how it should.
