– Packaging Colors

Question

I’ve always noticed packaging for products will include little circles or boxes that have the colors used on the packaging. Why is that?

Answer 1

Those are often used by the printers as a way to check the ink levels. They have a device that scans those boxes and circles and compares them to what they are supposed to look like, so that if one of the ink levels is low, they’d immediately be able to tell and not accidentally print tons of copies without red ink for instance.
