A design exploration for Print

The challenge

When artwork, colour, dimensions and finishing decisions are disconnected, inconsistencies can appear in proofing and distribution.

What we plan together

  • Print specification
  • Artwork preparation and preflight checks
  • Define proofs and colour references
  • Packaging and distribution requirements

Deliverable options

  • Print-ready artwork set
  • Dimensions, materials and finishing specification
  • Proof checklist
  • Distribution and handover checklist

The project brief defines the final deliverables and implementation scope.

Materials and approach

Offset, digital and large-format printing, cutting, lamination and other finishes are assessed around quantity, material and usage conditions.

How is the process structured?

StagePlanning note
01 · Specification and artwork checksConfirm dimensions, colour, bleed and cutting specifications.
02 · Proofing and approvalReview colour references, copy and finishes.
03 · Production planningAgree quantities, materials and packaging.
04 · Distribution checksCompare package labels, recipients and the delivery list.

Survey findings, permissions, production and approvals shape the timeline.

What affects the price?

  • Quantity, dimensions and materials
  • Print process and finishes
  • Proofing and revision requirements
  • Packaging and delivery locations

Frequently asked questions

How should colour be approved?

Agree colour references and the proofing method before production. An on-screen preview does not replace a physical colour proof.

Can we start with our own artwork?

Yes; dimensions, bleed, fonts and colour need checking against the producer’s specification.

Is bleed the same for every product?

No. Product- and process-specific dimensions take priority; glossary examples still need confirmation from the producer.
