Artwork Specifications
Include file formats (PDF, AI, EPS), color spaces (CMYK), DPI requirements, bleed and trim dimensions, and preferred color profiles to avoid incorrect color reproduction and costly reprints.
A Promotional Stickers Document reduces production errors, shortens proof cycles, and documents approvals for procurement and legal review. It creates an auditable trail that helps resolve vendor disputes, enforces brand standards, and ensures timely fulfillment of campaign schedules.
Typical users who prepare or approve Promotional Stickers Documents include marketing managers, procurement staff, creative agencies, and print vendors within organizations.
Clearly assign responsibilities, version numbers, and signatory roles to avoid delays and ensure required approvals are captured before production begins.
Include file formats (PDF, AI, EPS), color spaces (CMYK), DPI requirements, bleed and trim dimensions, and preferred color profiles to avoid incorrect color reproduction and costly reprints.
Specify substrate (vinyl, paper), adhesive type (permanent, removable), lamination or varnish, thickness, and environmental performance (UV, water resistance) so samples match campaign needs.
List SKU-level quantities, per-unit dimensions, and acceptable over/under runs (e.g., +/- 5%) so vendors price and schedule production accurately without misunderstandings.
Define proof stages (digital proof, press proof), acceptable proof formats, approver names and roles, and the required approvals before production release to the press.
Record packaging, palletization, delivery addresses, lead times, carrier preferences, and acceptance criteria for receiving so fulfillment aligns with campaign calendars.
Include trademark ownership, rights-to-use confirmations, indemnity language for third-party artwork, and any embargo or usage restrictions to reduce legal exposure.
