Question

How do I understand the panel labels (front panel, back panel, inside panel) on my proof?

Answer

When a proof shows panel labels like front panel, back panel, and inside panel, they identify how each section of your layout maps to the finished piece. If the labeling is unclear, you have a straightforward way to flag it before anything prints.

  • If the orientation or panel assignment looks off, reject the proof rather than approving it.
  • Add comments describing exactly what looks wrong or which panel you expected where.
  • A file representative reviews your comments and issues updated proofs if needed.

Approving only once the panels read correctly protects you from printing an orientation error, so raise any questions on the proof with 4OVER4 before signing off.
