THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Attach a clear style reference, size, colour, date and revision identifier without damaging the item. Connect the physical sample to its review record. A loose tag that becomes separated can make later comparisons unreliable.
The decision behind the detail.
The identifier should distinguish sample versions from production labels. Keep temporary development information separate from the final retail artwork.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Sample identifier
- Record the full reference used by both teams.

Check together
