Posters, leaflets, large format, including print management.
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?
| Stage | Planning note |
|---|---|
| 01 · Specification and artwork checks | Confirm dimensions, colour, bleed and cutting specifications. |
| 02 · Proofing and approval | Review colour references, copy and finishes. |
| 03 · Production planning | Agree quantities, materials and packaging. |
| 04 · Distribution checks | Compare 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.
