When to stop for a dot halo on a cosmetics carton
On a cosmetics carton, stop if the halo plugs the tone or it leaves the signed sheet. If it hits the brand mark or a brand-colour solid, that carton cannot ship. The dot is dark around the rim and light in the middle.

Check the critical spots first
The dot is dark around the rim and light in the middle. Fill-in makes the whole dot bigger. There is no clear ring. On a cosmetics carton the critical spots are the brand mark and the brand-colour solid. If the decorative area has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre limit on the spot.
Check
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| The dot is dark around the rim and light in the middle. | Stop if the halo plugs the tone or it leaves the signed sheet. | Add ink or pressure just because you saw it |
| It lands on the brand mark or a brand-colour solid | That carton cannot ship | Wait for the next process to find it |
| Only on decoration, and there is no hickey chart | Hold a sample and confirm | Write your own millimetre limit |
Do this on this run
- Confirm it is a dot halo: dark around the rim, light in the middle.
- Drop the pressure first. Do not add ink.
- Write down the pressure and which colour.
