AI-generated explanatory illustrations show concepts, not actual company facilities, employees or completed client work. Technical drawings and production specifications must come from the responsible supplier or converter.
Look beyond the front of the pack.
A production handover also needs the complete layout, colour definitions, relevant dimensions and final content. A presentation image helps explain the design, while the production file serves a different purpose.
Organise the artwork
Use the approved layout to position the front panel, supporting information and production areas. The illustrated guides and dimensions are not a production specification; use the converter’s approved drawing.

See colour as separate layers
A print plan separates artwork into colour components. The converter’s process determines which process colours and spot colours are required.
Explore the guideKnow which version is approved.
Keep a visible job reference and revision on review files. Store feedback with the proof it refers to, and make the final release distinguishable from earlier concepts.
Identify the approved version
Give each revision a clear identity. Record the approved filename and date to help distinguish current artwork from superseded copies.

Review the proof together
Check the named proof with the responsible approver. Confirm whether the review covers content, layout, colour or an agreed combination.

Artwork and prepress compositions are visual examples based on published source material. Small technical markings in illustrative images are not a usable separation file or an approved specification for production.
Package the release files
Hand over the agreed files, named revision and supporting references together. Identify who receives the release and what they should do next.

Separate references from concepts
A reference helps explain a design direction; a generated concept shows a possible presentation. Neither establishes an actual completed project or client relationship.
