FLUX 3 Product Photography: 10 AI Ads & Packshots

👁 116 reads

We generated ten product images in FLUX 3 Image: packshots for online stores, ads with slogans, and flat lays. All ten main text elements came out without errors. The biggest problem wasn’t letters, but real brand names the model added on its own.

For online stores, this is good news: you can create a packshot with a label and an ad with a slogan without graphics software. But you need to watch out for small text you didn’t order and logos the model pastes in from memory. One image showed the label of a real beer brand.

FLUX Hub - Black Forest Labs models, tests and prompts: FLUX 3 Image and FLUX.2.

How We Did It

  • FLUX 3 Image model through the blackforestlabs/flux-3/text-to-image endpoint at fal.ai, October 1, 2026.
  • Resolution 2k, aspect ratios for each channel: 4:5 for Instagram, 1:1 for store, 16:9 for banner. Saved as PNG.
  • Prompt expansion disabled, one generation per prompt, no cherry-picking best versions.
  • Prompts in English, because FLUX understands other languages but English gives more repeatable results. We tested text rendering in Polish (a heavily inflected language with diacritics) - slogans and labels were entered in quotation marks.
  • Time: 51 to 108 seconds per image. Cost according to fal.ai pricing per megapixel (0.024 USD/Mpx promotional rate): about 0.10 USD per 2K image (about 4.2 Mpx), or about 1 USD for the set.

Where This Works in E-commerce

  • Packaging mockups before ordering printing, to see the label in a scene.
  • Social media ads with slogans in your language, in 4:5 and 1:1 formats.
  • Backgrounds and scenes for packshots, where you’ll insert the real product in editing.
  • Not for product pages without changes. A store photo must show the item the customer will receive, so provide the real product as a reference image.

1. NOC Perfume on Wet Stone

Perfume ad: amber bottle in water crown with text NOC. Eau de Parfum
“NOC. Eau de Parfum” (Night. Eau de Parfum) without error, in serif typeface at bottom of frame.
Luxury perfume ad: amber glass bottle on wet black stone, splash of water frozen in motion, dramatic rim light, text "NOC. Eau de Parfum" in elegant serif at the bottom

The text “NOC. Eau de Parfum” came out flawlessly, in an elegant serif typeface and exactly at the bottom as in the prompt. The amber bottle with black cap, water crown and rim lighting look like a shoot from a good studio. Physics fails a bit: the liquid inside ripples along with the splash, though the glass would shield it. “Wet black stone” came out more as a slate countertop.

2. BIEGNIJ DALEJ Running Shoes

Running shoe ad: white and orange shoe above cracked asphalt with slogan BIEGNIJ DALEJ
Slogan without error, but shoe has large “N” on side and small swoosh-like marks on tongue.
Sneaker product ad: white and orange running shoe floating above a cracked asphalt surface, dust particles, dynamic angle, bold text "BIEGNIJ DALEJ"

The slogan “BIEGNIJ DALEJ” (Run Further) is huge, legible and without typos, and the cracking asphalt with dust gives dynamism. However, the model drew a shoe with a large “N” on the side, deceptively similar to the New Balance logo, and placed small marks on the tongue and toe resembling the Nike swoosh. You can’t use this image to advertise your own product. Add unbranded shoe, no logos, plain side panel and insert your own logo in editing.

3. Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Coffee from Above

Flat lay for store: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee bag, beans, dripper and cup on linen cloth
Main label correct, below it two lines of gibberish nobody ordered.
E-commerce flat lay of a specialty coffee bag labeled "Etiopia Yirgacheffe", coffee beans, V60 dripper and a ceramic cup on beige linen, top-down, soft shadows

The main label “Etiopia Yirgacheffe” is correct, and the linen, beans, cup and wooden scoop give a pleasant store frame from above. Below the name, however, the model added two lines of gibberish (“Spenibls: speppel…”). The V60 dripper came out as a transparent plastic funnel with a strangely fused handle. Solution: label with only the words "Etiopia Yirgacheffe", no other text or your own second line in quotation marks.

4. Smartphone with Weather App

Smartphone on blue background with weather app showing Warszawa 14°C and floating cards
“Warszawa 14°C” (Warsaw 14°C) twice correctly. On small cards, nonsense numbers.
Tech product hero shot: a slim smartphone at an angle on a gradient blue background, reflections, floating UI cards showing a weather app in Polish "Warszawa 14°C", minimal

“Warszawa 14°C” appears twice, on the screen and on a floating card, correctly each time, with the degree symbol. The phone, gradient and reflections have render quality from a campaign. On smaller cards, however, the model inserted nonsensical values like “1°C”. The phone is also very similar to an iPhone, so for advertising your own app add generic phone, no notch, no brand.

5. Jasne Pełne Beer by the Lake

Beer bottle with condensation on wooden table by lake, with limes and ice
“JASNE PEŁNE” (Light Full) correctly, but model pasted label of existing brand.
Summer beer ad: condensation on a cold green glass bottle of craft lager "Jasne Pełne", lime slices, ice, sunny lake in the background, vibrant

“JASNE PEŁNE” (Pale Lager) is on the label, as is small text with Polish diacritics. Except the model made this an ad for an existing brand: the label shows a real beer brand name and promotional text (we blurred the label in the image because it’s a trademark of an existing brewery). This is a real beer, not the craft lager from the prompt. Plus some of the “limes” are lemons. For names similar to known products, add fictional craft brewery, label shows only "Jasne Pełne", no other brand names.

6. Moisturizing Cream on Pink Pedestal

Cream packshot: white jar with label reading 'Krem nawilżający 50 ml' (Polish) on pink pedestal with dried flowers
Model packshot: non-English text in place, clean typeface, soft light.
Skincare packshot: white jar of face cream with label "Krem nawilżający 50 ml", on pastel pink pedestal, dried flowers, soft studio light

Model packshot. “Krem nawilżający 50 ml” (Moisturizing Cream 50 ml) with correct Polish characters, clean sans-serif typeface and label centered on the jar. Pastel pedestal, dried flowers and soft light without harsh shadows are suitable for a product page or Instagram. We found no error worth mentioning. If you have your own label design, generate a scene with an empty jar and insert the label in editing.

7. Dark Chocolate with Raspberry

Chocolate ad: broken dark bar in GORZKA 70% wrapper with raspberry and melted chocolate
“GORZKA 70% z maliną” (Dark 70% with Raspberry) without error. Raspberry sits on pieces like topping.
Chocolate bar ad: broken dark chocolate with pieces of raspberry, wrapper reading "GORZKA 70% z maliną", melted chocolate drip, dark warm background

“GORZKA 70% z maliną” (Dark 70% with Raspberry) is correct, with Polish characters and percent sign. The broken bar emerging from gold foil and puddle of melted chocolate look appetizing. However, the freeze-dried raspberry sits on top of the pieces like a topping, instead of being inside, and the top piece floats without support. Add raspberry pieces visible in the broken cross-section.

8. Electric Bike in Old Town Square

Electric bike ad: man in blazer riding through old town square, slogan DO PRACY BEZ KORKÓW
“DO PRACY BEZ KORKÓW” (To Work Without Traffic Jams) with correct Polish characters. Town hall in background is not accurate.
Outdoor ad for an electric city bike: commuter riding through Wrocław market square at morning, motion blur background, headline "DO PRACY BEZ KORKÓW"

“DO PRACY BEZ KORKÓW” (To Work Without Traffic Jams) has correct Polish characters, the electric bike is done properly (battery on frame, mid-drive motor, rack), and the rider is sharp against a blurred background. The gabled townhouses fit an old town square, but the town hall in the background is a dark, brick structure unlike the real Wrocław town hall with its ornate gable. For a local campaign, add Wrocław Old Town Hall with its ornate gothic gable and astronomical clock.

9. Christmas Gift Set of Three Teas

Gift set of three tea tins reading 'Malina', 'Mięta' and 'Earl Grey' (Polish) tied with twine, pine branches
Three labels, three correct texts. Box has a shape nobody would manufacture.
Gift set of three loose leaf tea tins, labels "Malina", "Mięta", "Earl Grey", wrapped with twine, Christmas pine branches, top-down product photo

Three labels and three correct texts: “Malina” (Raspberry), “Mięta” (Mint) and “Earl Grey”, each with matching illustration, including bergamot. Twine, pine branches, dried oranges and star anise give a Christmas mood. The box has a strange trapezoid shape, so for a store add square kraft gift box.

10. GŁĘBIA 200 M Dive Watch

Dive watch ad on wet rock by shore with text reading 'GŁĘBIA 200 M' (Polish)
Slogan without error. Numbers on bezel go in wrong order.
Watch ad: steel diver watch on a wet rock at the Baltic shore, waves, macro detail on the dial, text "GŁĘBIA 200 M" in thin sans serif

The slogan “GŁĘBIA 200 M” (Depth 200 M) came out in thin sans-serif typeface, with correct Polish characters. Wet rock, waves and drops on the bracelet look realistic. However, watch details are wrong: numbers on the bezel go in the order 50, 20, 30, one is upside down, and in the date window instead of a number there’s a strange symbol. In a watch ad this disqualifies the frame, because macro must be error-free. This section needs editing or replacement with a real dial photo.

Average 3.9. Text rendering is the strongest point: all slogans and product names we provided in quotation marks are correct. Scores are dragged down by things we didn’t order: added small text, other people’s logos, and poorly drawn product details.

Most Common Errors

  • Other people’s brands. Real beer brand label instead of fictional lager, shoe with “N” like New Balance and swoosh-like marks.
  • Small text without ordering. Second line on coffee bag and numbers on app cards are gibberish.
  • Technical details. Watch bezel with numbers in wrong order and strange symbol in date window.
  • Physics. Liquid in bottle ripples with splash, chocolate piece hangs in air.
  • Prop substitutions. Lemons instead of some limes, trapezoid tea box.
  • Design of known products. Phone looks like iPhone.

FAQ

Does FLUX 3 render text well on packaging?

In our test, yes: ten out of ten main text elements were correct, including text with Polish diacritics. This is a useful proxy for non-English text rendering quality. Errors appeared only in text we didn’t provide literally.

Can I use these images in my store’s advertising?

First check whether the model drew someone else’s logo or brand name. With two of the ten images, without corrections, you’d risk trademark infringement. Check the license terms for outputs with Black Forest Labs and at fal.ai.

How do I insert a real product instead of an invented one?

Use editing with a reference image. FLUX 3 accepts up to 10 references, and at fal.ai each can be up to 4 Mpx. In the prompt you refer to them as ref_image_0 to ref_image_9.

How do I avoid other people’s logos in the image?

Add explicitly “unbranded, no logos, fictional brand” and specify the only text that should appear. Names that sound like existing products attract real brands.
