Do I need to approve a proof before printing?
Yes — once you place your order, we'll email you a proof to approve before it goes into production.
What is a proof?
A proof is a preview of your artwork as it will appear once printed, showing layout, colours, and sizing.
Why proofing matters
It's your chance to catch any issues — spelling, sizing, colour, or positioning — before your order is produced.
What to check on your proof
- Spelling and text accuracy
- Correct sizing and orientation
- Colours look as expected
- Bleed and safe zone are respected
What happens after you approve
Once you approve your proof by email, your order moves into production — our standard production time is 2-3 working days from that point. If you spot an issue instead, let us know and we'll amend it before printing.
