Packaging Color Management
Establish an agreed colour reference for the chosen material and print process.
Brand colour references
Provide brand references and indicate which elements need close comparison.
Material-specific proof or sample
Review a proof or sample on the intended material and agree the approval reference.
Repeat-order reference control
Keep the approved version and record material or process changes before repeat orders.
Project details to send
Identify the actual product, intended use and any existing pack or specification.
List quantities by version and the delivery destination. Record which choices still need a recommendation.
Standard MOQ: 500 pieces per style, size and artwork design. Special specifications and combined orders are assessed individually. Material and performance requirements are confirmed for the specific application.

Packaging Samples & Prototypes
Use the right sample to answer the question at the current project stage.
Approved reference and design changes
Identify the product, material and file version. Record the chosen option, compatibility limits and the proof or sample needed; an example on another pack does not establish suitability.
Keep the approved reference with the order. Changes to design, dimensions, material or effect may require revised files, samples or pricing. Compare sample types.
Scope, fees and scheduling
The number of materials, print processes, colour references and coordinated components affects proofing.
Give quantities by product and artwork version, plus any deadline. The quotation confirms fees, tooling, samples, revisions and timing; free services and rush delivery are not standard commitments. Prepare the project details.
Name the reference before comparing colour
Provide the artwork colour definitions and an agreed physical or other approved reference. Record paper or film, printing and finishing as part of the appearance.
Approval record: Repeat-order reference control
Compare under agreed viewing conditions and retain the approved reference details. A repeat file name does not confirm that the substrate and finish are unchanged.
