I was do certain that they were trying to hide everything that I painfully read the whole thing and nothing. Just bad design.
Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.
Is this an American thing? In Europe i only ever see black on white for nutritional labels
Amazingly, the us actually has decent nutrition labels that are white background with black text and very clearly formatted
I’m seeing this in Australia.
Probably looked fine on the designer’s monitor.
Ya, but print 101, designers know contrast thresholds and how much they reduce as typeface goes smaller. Even if this was a junior, it’d never make it past final checks. Even then a lot of printers would reply back after opening the file, “Uh… You sure?”
Of course they know. Do you think that was an accident? Whoever did that knew those things and did it on purpose.
Screw it, not my job.

As a beauty product it’s keeping packaging fashionable while keeping the info. I don’t think this would be legal for a drink or food item.
Can confirm not legal in Canada nor Australia when it comes to food and drink labelling.
In the US? You never know…

Somebody who doesn’t want you looking too closely at the (very long) ingredient list.
