DFRAG / The visible seam opens

Mix remains the default. A remains the reference. The original foil, flat closed seam, turn, peel timing and natural drop are preserved across A, B and C.

Opening at the glued join

The previous strip belonged entirely to the right panel, while the panels separated beside it. Its texture crop also left a seam border on the panel.

The join now has two overlapping lips, each attached to its own foil panel. The original textured upper lip peels off the lower adhesive face. Their contact extends across the visible seam, and the separation follows the opening down the pack.

The complete seam artwork occupies the same region as the bonded lips: 42% to 57% of the back atlas width. The adjoining panel textures end at those boundaries. The foil image itself is unchanged.

Preserved motion

The main turn lasts 860 ms, with settling through 1.55 s. The natural drop overlaps the late peel: A starts at 2.30 s, B at 2.68 s and C at 2.45 s. The foil accelerates downward over about half a second with restrained collapse, edge lag and tumble. Mix excludes the previously played direction.

Real pack-back references

These product photographs informed the broad, flat overlap and crimped seal. They are geometry references; their artwork is not used in the mock.

Physical Pokémon Scarlet & Violet pack, rear seam
Scarlet & Violet / Jay’s Poke Hub

A broad black strip lies against the rear face, with a narrow fold edge and crimped ends.

Physical Pokémon Battle Region pack, rear seam
Battle Region / Japan2UK

The silver longitudinal strip has a flat centre and a thin raised crease.

The full-height overlap folds to one side, leaving most of the pack back flat.

Source and verification notes

Wrapper artwork: the original Oceania 2026 foil atlas in the Fantasy prototype at fc36274. Card portrait: dfrag.gg development at 942179a6. The sample card remains an illustrative motion stand-in.

Three.js renders deforming meshes with authored curves. The two adhesive faces share the same closed footprint, then follow their respective foil leaves. The original seam texture also supplies subtle embossing on the exposed adhesive faces.

The comparison and variant images use Sample 3 and were captured from the real 3D canvas. Verification covers the closed front/back, the reported 1.64 s frame, complete playback, reduced motion, Mix, mobile clearance and zero rendering at rest. Independent geometry and UV review found the overlap and atlas boundaries consistent. No real app implementation or app deployment is included.
