What is artwork approval software?+
Software that generates a branded proof, collects the customer's approval online, and bundles that approved proof with the production-ready file, so sign-off is fast, in one place, and provable.
How is an approval recorded?+
The exact proof version, the approver and the time are timestamped and stored against the order. The proof is locked at sign-off, so there is always a clear record of what was approved.
How fast is a proof ready?+
About 20 seconds. The proof is generated automatically from the uploaded logo, vectorized, preflighted and placed on the real product, with no manual studio step.
How is this different from proof creation?+
Print proof creation generates the visual. Approval software handles the sign-off and the audit trail around it, collecting the online approval, locking the version, and passing it to production.
Does it work inside our own webshop?+
Yes. It is API-first and can be embedded via iFrame so the customer approves without leaving your product page. It integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and custom storefronts.
Does it actually lower cost?+
Yes, up to 80% per proof compared with manual studio work, because the proof is generated automatically and approvals no longer tie up your team in email.
