Offset & flexo mockups
Packaging and printed cards run on offset, or flexo on kraft. The process inks are transparent: on coated board they print as drawn, on brown kraft they darken into the brown. PreviewFly renders exactly that, so a white logo on kraft disappears the way it would on press.

Offset & flexo, asked often
Why is my white logo invisible on the box?
Offset and flexo inks are transparent and there is no white in CMYK. The board shows through, as it would on press.
