Question

Do I need to approve proofs before my order is finalized?

Answer

You have full control over how much review your order gets before it prints. There are three paths, and you pick the one that fits your comfort level.

OptionWhat happens
Free Online ProofReview a digital proof in your account and approve before printing.
Hard Copy ProofGet a physical proof mailed to you to review before production.
Straight to ProductionSkip proof approval and send the job directly to print.

Choosing Straight to Production means you waive the review step, so only pick it when you are confident your file is print-ready.

When your order status reads Online Proofs Available, the proof is ready and waiting on your approval. Handle it from your account to keep the job moving.

  • Log into your account and open the order.
  • Review the proofs for accuracy.
  • Approve the proofs once they look correct.
  • Authorize the order so it can proceed to production.
