GETTING CONCEPT ARTWORK READY   (THIS STEPS REQUIRES CUSTOMER APPROVAL)

Concept Artwork

This is the artwork created by working with our design team. Concept Artwork is a way for the customer to quickly and efficiently get the customer’s uniform idea into a workable media format. If you are not sure of exactly what you want, don’t worry. We have years of experience at this and we will quickly get you to where you want you design to be. See the methods below for getting concept artwork completed.

When the concept artwork is complete, we will send you by email a copy to show your team.

Although Concept Artwork looks good from the customer’s perspective it is not ready for production. Once the concept artwork looks good to the customer we can start to prepare it as production artwork.

STEP 2. PRODUCTION ARTWORK

AUTHORIZING PRODUCTION ARTWORK    (THIS STEPS REQUIRES CUSTOMER APPROVAL)

Production Artwork 

This is the artwork that the customer must approve on on all new orders and reorders that require any artwork change. Production artwork is the concept artwork that has been verified and production tested to produce all aspects of the uniform order to the customer’s specifications. It is possible the artwork can be altered by our production department to produce the customer’s desired results. Because of this the customer MUST approve only production artwork before we can produce the order. 

Important Notes:

It can take 5-7 days to receive production artwork proofs after concept artwork is confirmed. The artwork development can be completed weeks or even months in advance of placing you actual order. This make it easy to schedule needed delivery dates to our order production times. For larger orders production samples can be produced for inspection prior to the start of your order.
