Artwork → proof → sample → production → delivery

From artwork to delivery

Five stages keep the design, manufacturing, and approval decisions connected. Each handoff has an output that can be reviewed before the next stage begins.

  1. 1.0Brief intake

    Start with the product context.

    Share the format, intended application, artwork, finished size, quantity range, attachment, destination, and planning date. Unknown fields are recorded as questions instead of guessed.

    You provide
    Artwork and the known commercial constraints.
    Stage output
    A scoped production question and a list of open decisions.
  2. 2.0Artwork proof

    Make the molded object reviewable.

    The proof identifies contour, dimensions, relief, color fields, attachment zones, hardware, and any simplification required for the finished size.

    You review
    Visual accuracy, dimensions, spelling, orientation, and unresolved notes.
    Stage output
    An approved visual specification or a revision request.
  3. 3.0Pre-production sample

    Check the physical interpretation.

    When required by the order, a pre-production sample is reviewed against the approved proof and the intended product context. Any test or documentation requirement should be defined before this checkpoint.

    You review
    Appearance, dimensions, attachment, handling, and application fit.
    Stage output
    Sample approval, a documented correction, or a revised plan.
  4. 4.0Production and checks

    Produce against the approved reference.

    Production, packing, labeling, and agreed inspection points follow the approved order context. Changes after approval are treated as changes, not silently folded into the run.

    Reference
    Approved artwork proof, sample decision, and written order requirements.
    Stage output
    Finished goods and packing records tied to the order.
  5. 5.0Delivery and reorder

    Keep the final context reusable.

    Delivery closes the shipment, not the product record. The approved specification can support a reorder, a size change, or a coordinated label, keychain, or zipper-pull extension.

    You retain
    Inquiry ID, approved specification, and shipment context.
    Next action
    Reorder the approved item or open a related product brief.

Start at stage 1.

A useful brief can be incomplete. Attach what you have and mark the decisions that need a recommendation.
