Role: Commercial Retail Merchandising & In-Store Product Specialist.
Hero Product: [HERO PRODUCT - e.g. Branded organic breakfast cereal box, premium artisanal hot sauce bottle, gourmet coffee bag].
Hero Artwork: Attached product packaging image / packaging design.

Shelf Placement & Scale:

Surrounding Retail Context:
Surround the hero product with naturally arranged category competitor items and related products on adjacent shelf positions and upper/lower racks.

Authentic retail store overhead linear LED lighting combined with subtle shelf accent illumination. Believable supermarket aisle depth extending into the blurred background with natural shopper movement bokeh.

Preservation & Integrity:
- Preserve exact packaging front face, logo, colors, text, and imagery from the reference image.
- Maintain accurate physical scale relative to standard retail shelves and neighboring products.
- Do NOT distort the hero package or obscure primary branding.
