Set-off on a cosmetics carton

The note is for the next shift

Writing only “there is set-off” is useless. The back carries the image of the previous sheet, and you can often feel it. You also need the position. If the carton hits the brand mark or a brand-colour solid, the note must say whether you already stopped or already let it go.
