Find file and finish questions before approving artwork for print.
Inputs, deliverables & next step
Send what you have
Your artwork or draft, the dieline version and the finishes you want. Missing files can follow.
What you receive
A file-readiness review identifying corrections, open questions and the version to approve.
What this service covers
Review bleed, safe areas, fold positions, image resolution and separate foil or embossing layers against the chosen dieline. Keep colour references and version names identifiable.
Scope to confirm Brand design, copywriting, regulatory review and barcode validation are not automatically included. Confirm any extra work with sales.
Choose a sample that answers the decision you need to make.
Inputs, deliverables & next step
Send what you have
What you want to check: material, structure, printed appearance or product fit. Send an available reference.
What you receive
A proposed sample type, an identified version and a checklist of what to review.
What this service covers
A material swatch helps compare surface and colour; a structural sample helps assess construction and fit; a printed sample adds artwork and finish review. Record any differences from planned production.
Scope to confirm Sales confirms sample type, fees, revisions, shipping and timing before paid work begins. Samples do not automatically establish transport performance.
Keep a consistent range without mixing up sizes, artwork versions or quantities.
Inputs, deliverables & next step
Send what you have
Your product or SKU list, quantities if known and the appearance you want to share.
What you receive
A SKU breakdown linking each size to its dieline, artwork version, quantity and open decisions.
What this service covers
Keep one row per SKU. A shared design can use different dielines and insert fits. Record approval owners and check whether an artwork change affects one item or the full range.
Scope to confirm Production quantities start at 500 pieces. Confirm the quantity breakdown across SKUs with sales; shared artwork does not make different boxes one SKU.
Know how your packaging will be supplied and what the delivery scope includes.
Inputs, deliverables & next step
Send what you have
Destination, estimated quantity, assembled or flat-pack needs and any warehouse requirements.
What you receive
A packing and delivery scope identifying supply format, shipping responsibilities and costs to confirm.
What this service covers
Review carton packing, labels, fitted or separate inserts, receiving constraints and handoffs. Keep production timing separate from freight and destination handling.
Scope to confirm Sales confirms sampling and production lead times for the agreed specification. Freight, import clearance, duties and destination services are included only when expressly agreed.
Make the previous order reference and any requested changes clear.
Inputs, deliverables & next step
Send what you have
Your YDP project or order reference; changes or issue photos and affected quantities if relevant.
What you receive
A recorded change or issue summary, with the next action and the person responsible.
What this service covers
Compare the earlier specification, retained reference, artwork and materials. For a reported issue, preserve packaging, batch details and photos so the team can review the affected scope.
Scope to confirm Material availability, reapproval and any proposed remedy depend on review and the written order terms. Contact sales before treating a reorder as unchanged.
Explore packaging decisions for your product. Product fit, protection and production specifications are confirmed through project-specific review and sampling.
HOW A REVIEW HELPS
From a question to a clear next step.
Illustrative review examples. They explain the decisions to make, rather than report completed customer work.
Artwork across a fold＋
The question
A logo or fine text sits on a fold, while foil artwork is mixed into the print layer. Will the file produce the intended result?
The review decision
Identify the correct dieline revision, move critical artwork into its agreed safe area and separate the foil layer. Confirm panel alignment using the folded layout.
What to record
The affected panel, correction, artwork and foil-layer revisions, and who approves the change. Use the printed sample to review physical appearance where agreed.
The products fit the cutout outlines, but the pump, jar rim and tube still need different support and removal access.
The review decision
Review each product's packed weight and load-bearing areas. Keep clearance around projecting parts, make removal practical and check the lid against the tallest point.
What to record
A fit-check list for each position, the insert revision and the actual product used for sampling. Treat transport performance as a separate test requirement.
A cleanser, serum and cream share a visual identity. Does one artwork file cover all three boxes?
The review decision
Share the design rules, then map artwork onto each SKU's own dieline. Keep its product fit, insert, quantity and approval version separate.
What to record
One SKU entry per product, linking the dieline, artwork and sample revisions. Check which SKUs are affected whenever a shared colour or finish changes.
Review YDP beyond the design examples. Check our company details, recorded workshop processes and the quality checkpoints to discuss for your order.
Workshop footage shows recorded manufacturing activity. Your sample checks and inspection scope are agreed for the specific order.
FROM PLANNING TO THE WORKSHOP
See the production behind the plan.
Recorded views show the people, equipment and hands-on preparation involved in packaging production. Discuss the relevant construction, approval checks and packing requirements for your project.
These are planning templates, not completed customer records or inspection certificates. Project deliverables and approval criteria are agreed individually.
Before you start.
Can I start without dimensions or finished artwork?
Yes. Send a product photo, an existing box reference or a short description. We can identify the missing details together. Accurate dimensions, packed weight and the relevant files will be needed before fit or production approval.
How do I confirm sample costs and lead times?
Tell sales what the sample should demonstrate, your destination and any target receiving date. Sales will confirm the sample scope, fees, revisions, shipping and timing. Production lead time is confirmed against the agreed specification and approvals.
Do I have to complete the worksheets before contacting YDP?
No. They are optional tools for you and your team. A short request is enough to begin. The selected service is carried into your inquiry, so you can continue from that topic.
Send your product or a short request. A finished specification is not required. We will identify the next step and confirm scope, fees and timing with you.
