How to Prompt an Imagen 3 Product Still from a SKU Brief
Product stills grow a celebrity hand and a nutrition panel. The SKU was two strainers on oak. Name Imagen 3. No logos.
The matching generator is the Imagen 3 Product Still from a SKU Brief (No Logos, No Celebrities) (Imagen 3 Product Still From Sku Brief No Logos No Celebrities) prompt.

Name Imagen 3 in the prompt
Write an Imagen 3 product-still prompt from a SKU brief. No logos, no celebrities, no fake packaging claims. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
SKU brief (object, material, color, surface, pack): [Brief]
Aspect I lock: [Aspect or 1:1]
Camera notes I allow: [Camera]
Lighting notes I allow: [Light]
Background I allow: [Bg]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent (logos, celebs, other models): [Never]
Output format: [Format]
Language: [Lang]
Negative I lock: [Negative]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Quote material camera and light from Inputs
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: Brief nouns, Aspect, Camera, Light, Bg, Lang. Forbidden: logos, celebrity likeness, Nano Banana as the generator, extra pack counts.
- Imagen 3 prompt: model Imagen 3 named. Subject from Brief. Camera, Light, Bg quoted. Aspect printed.
- On-image text: none unless Brief quotes a word (it should not). No SKU engraving if not in Brief.
- Negative: quote Negative plus no logos, no celebrity faces, no UI text.
- Refuse: Nano Banana prompt block, Flux infographic, Hailuo shot list, fake nutrition claims on pack.
- Material lock: quote materials from Brief. If a still wants a material not in Brief, write NOT IN INPUTS.
- Never: do not add a celebrity hand holding the SKU.
- Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Keep on-image text empty unless quoted
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Imagen 3 product still from Brief. Not Nano Banana, not Flux, not Hailuo.
- No logos and no celebrities.
- Honor Aspect. No fake packaging claims.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Refuse Nano Banana Flux and Hailuo blocks
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (imagen 3 product still sku, imagen 3 no logos no celebrities, sku brief product still prompt) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
