Art approval & proofs

No more printing the wrong logo

Every quote carries a proof of each design. Customers approve the art, comment on it or ask for changes, and the order won't start until they say yes.

    Version 2: the crest moved up an inch and the mountains are gold now, like you asked.

    Love it. Is that the same gold as our jersey trim?

  • Tess NguyenToday, 9:31 AM

    Same one. We matched it to the swatch you dropped off.

Production waits for the yes

Art approval is one of the gates on every order. Until it opens, the jobs wait off the press schedule.

  • Orders move on by themselves once the art is approved
  • Payment and goods gates work the same way
  • Customers see Art approval as their order's stage

Questions, answered

Something else on your mind? Ask us and a person will answer.

What file types can I use for artwork?

PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF, up to 10 MB each. SKUFlow measures each file for size, resolution, transparency and colors. PDFs are kept and printed from, but they can't be drawn into mockups, so they show as a labeled box.

Do customers need to sign in to approve?

No. They open the quote link, look at each proof and approve the quote with their name. Approving records the name, time, address and browser with the proof.

What happens when a customer asks for changes?

The proof and the quote are marked Changes requested, with their note. Fix the design and send the quote again: a new proof version goes out and the old one is kept as replaced.

Can staff approve on the customer's behalf?

Yes, for approvals given over the phone or by email. The record says it was recorded by staff.
