Artwork version control for a custom headwear program for promotional product distributors: the buyer decision
An artwork revision can change a logo even when the filename looks familiar. Establish which master design belongs to each headwear style before anyone prepares a decoration file.
Build an artwork register
Give every file a revision identifier, creation date and owner. List the styles and colorways that use it, distinguish editable masters from previews, and mark superseded exports as withdrawn. A folder containing several final files leaves the production choice unresolved.
Apply the review to your buying program
Distributors should preserve the end client's design sign-off separately from the supplier's technical response. Check sponsor and event versions against the actual campaign. Forward marked corrections as one consolidated instruction so separate client comments cannot become competing files for the same decoration.
Freeze the design that may be reproduced
Compare the proposed export with the master at the intended decoration dimensions. Check lettering, outlines and missing elements. A newer upload is not automatically an approved replacement; obtain a decision on the actual visible changes.
Keep the decision evidence
Deliver an artwork register linking master, export, style and approval. Include a change note explaining which earlier files must no longer be used.
