How should I provide design files or specifications for custom projects?

For a custom project, the goal is to give the sales and production team enough detail to quote it accurately and confirm it can actually be made. The more complete your mockup and written specs are, the faster you get a firm price and a feasibility answer.

• Attach a mockup or reference image (JPG or PDF) that shows the intended look and construction.
• List the exact finished dimensions, including any thickness or depth for dimensional pieces.
• Specify colors, materials, and finishes such as coating, foil, or laminate.
• Call out any special features and their placement, for example hole positions, die-cut shapes, perforations, or score lines.
• Note the quantity you need and any deadline, since both affect pricing and turnaround.

Detailed specs up front cut down on back-and-forth and help the team confirm the project is producible before you commit.
