Printing & Finishing
Printing and finishing articles help brands separate artwork, colour approval and surface effects when preparing custom-packaging enquiries.
Turn a visual reference into an approval question
An article about foil, a matte surface or a printed colour should explain what the buyer needs to specify and review. Ask which part of the effect comes from the paper, ink or applied treatment, then check its position relative to folds and edges. A production brief should name the artwork version, intended substrate and agreed proof or sample, so a repeat order does not depend on an informal screen reference.
What to put in the brief
- Identify the exact surface and effect under discussion.
- Keep critical colours and finish areas visible in artwork notes.
- Confirm what the proposed proof can and cannot demonstrate.
Questions to resolve before the next step
Does a digital mockup establish the final foil or texture result?
No. It can communicate layout and direction. Approve the relevant material and finishing sample for the actual project.
