What this checklist helps prevent.

Most production delays start from small missing inputs. Make file gaps visible before supplier quote review.

Border drift

Catch edge and alignment risk before proofing.

Missing dieline

Keep box work visible in the quote scope.

Color shift

Flag color workflow before supplier review.

Weak RFQ inputs

Move forward with cleaner production context.

Next step

Choose the practical route.

The checklist should tell you whether to clean files, learn the format, or submit the RFQ.

From file check to quote-ready brief

Not sure if your files are ready?

Send the project anyway. We can flag what still needs prepress attention before production.
