THE BUYING ANSWER

Start with a clear definition.

Supply the intended dimensions, orientation, colour references and product placement along with the artwork. Identify the current file version. A high-resolution image without scale or placement still leaves important production questions unanswered.

The decision behind the detail.

Artwork preparation and the printing method need agreement. Ask the supplier to review suitability before treating a file as production-ready.

PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT

Three details to bring.

Artwork file
Record the file name and version.
Scale and direction
State intended dimensions and orientation.
Product placement
Identify the panel and reference points used.

Check together

  • Check the file matches the approved visual preview.
  • Flag any text or image permissions to resolve.
  • Request confirmation before using the file for production.
