PURPLE CO. - 3G 200-COUNT MASTER CARTON - POWERED BY ES VAPES - PRINT RELEASE v1 - 20261015
==========================================================================================

WHAT THIS IS
The 3G release's 200-count master carton for Purple Co., built the simple way Rob described: the 2G master carton's
own layout and artwork, inverted to a grey box, with ES Vapes on it as the hardware maker.
  - Walls: Purple Co.'s 2G carton art (lotus mark, PURPLE CO., PREMIUM CANNABIS, TRIPL3 TANK AIO badge) in the exact
    2G positions, knocked out to white board out of a grey flood. The vectors are lifted from the 2G production file.
  - 3G: the 3G badge from the 3G ten-pack, on the long walls beside the TRIPL3 TANK AIO badge, same height.
  - ES Vapes: 'POWERED BY' + ES mark + ESVAPES.COM on both long walls; on the top, each long flap carries a fat ES with
    POWERED BY / ES VAPES / ESVAPES.COM, upright for whoever stands at that wall. Both top halves stay clear of the
    middle 2.75 in where the sealing tape runs.
