Pack shot

A photograph of a product, often in its packaging, with the brand and label clearly visible. Pack shots are used in advertising, catalogs and online shops. They are usually taken in a studio, often on a plain white background, with careful lighting to show shape and detail. Setups range from a simple light tent to complex table-top lighting. In television advertising, the pack shot is also the final shot that shows the product.
