BRAND MARKS
  LIVE letters, leaf and drop = the brand's own vector (canna.live SVG), re-spaced to the sleeve lockup as measured on the packaging.
  "candy" script + droplet = the brand's lettering as a clean vector, rebuilt from the printed sleeve (final artwork; SVG in reference/brand-marks).

PROOFING
  The vendor's digital proof should match the previews/ folder (outside / inside on the die, 3D check shots). Kraft board warms
  every colour; the white underprint keeps the green, orange and red clean.
