Connect the artwork revision to the physical print proof.

Keep packaging dimensions, substrates, sleeves, inserts and supplier costs in one product model. Follow each physical proof through its findings, correction and the review of the exact packaging revision.

Use this starterRead the starter guide
Two product variants and a shared BOM
Small and large gift cartons share a printed sleeve assembly, with a carton board blank, printed sleeve and paper insert in their nested BOMs.
Four sample observation records
Retain two failed attempts, a correction awaiting observation and a corrected variant with recorded observations.
A pilot plan
One draft pilot order and a five-step calendar template tied to its due date. Enter owners and actual progress as the work happens.
Two required release inspections
Dieline and material review, plus artwork and physical proof review. Both required inspections follow the approved packaging revision.
First steps after applying
  1. Compare the gift carton designs

    Open the small and large Packaging Designs. Follow their printed sleeve assembly, carton board blank and paper insert to check material quantities and supplier costs.

  2. Review fold registration on a fresh proof

    Open the failed Print Proof and its pending correction. Compare the physical proof with artwork revision B and the dieline, recording actual width and height in mm, print findings, date, method, conditions and evidence.

  3. Plan the run and inspect the revision

    Review the live passing proof’s completed evidence before planning the pilot order and its milestones. Approve the intended packaging revision and complete dieline-and-material and artwork-and-physical-proof inspections before internal release.

From the starter to the next piece of work.

Open the connected records and tools from the product workflow view. Keep evidence with each physical attempt and each approved revision.

  1. Define the product and BOM

    Review the design variants and shared assemblies, then approve the linked product definition.

  2. Review suppliers and materials

    Confirm components, quantities, price units and lead times. Cost and material requirements use the connected BOM.

  3. Observe and correct the sample

    Activate the sample and record its actual date, method, conditions, findings and evidence reference. A latest passing attempt with incomplete evidence stays in the work queue, which names the fields to complete or correct.

  4. Plan the pilot calendar

    Review the evidence on a live passing sample and choose Plan pilot order. Confirm quantity, material requirements and due date, then apply the five-step milestone template. Enter owners and actual progress explicitly. A held build stays in the work queue even after its due date.

  5. Inspect the approved revision

    Complete the two required inspections against that product revision, then certify its internal release. A new revision needs fresh inspection evidence.

Actuals to record on the sample

Proof width and height (mm), artwork revision and print observations

Bring design, proof and pilot run into one workflow.

A BOM for the complete pack

Connect carton blanks, printed sleeves and shared insert sets. Keep quantity and price units explicit, and reuse common materials across size variants.

Explore Bills of materials

Dimensions and artwork revisions

Record the packaging dimensions, artwork revision and print specification with the design. Attach the source artwork and dieline files to the native record.

Explore Documents and files

Physical proofs and retained findings

Record the proof’s actual width, height and artwork revision with print observations, method, conditions, date and evidence reference. Preserve failed proofs and link fresh corrections.

Explore Quality

Pilot quantities and material requirements

Plan the run with its product, quantity and due date. Review material requirements and apply a five-step pilot calendar before recording owners and actual progress.

Explore Planning

Evidence before packaging release

Approve the packaging design, review dieline and materials and inspect the artwork and physical proof against the approved revision, then certify the internal release.

A starting point you can make your own.

Example records to connect

  • Packaging designs
  • Materials
  • Print proofs
  • Pilot runs

Begin with two fictional gift carton sizes, supplier-linked board and sleeve costs and a shared paper insert set. The starter separates the artwork revision from the physical proof attempt, so an edit to the design does not rewrite an earlier observation.

Common questions

Can I plan a pilot directly from a sample?

After reviewing the evidence on a live passing sample, choose Plan pilot order. The new order starts with the exact linked product. Enter its build number, quantity, due date and progress in the native form. Planning does not certify the sample or release the product.

Can I put a pilot build on hold?

Set the order to On Hold and record the concern in Production notes. The work queue keeps the hold visible, including after the due date. Review the concern before changing the recorded status and continuing.

How do I start the sample and pilot work?

Approve the linked product definition first, then activate the sample and pilot order drafts before using them as live work. Product release remains a separate decision after the required inspections.

Does the starter keep source artwork files?

Use the native file and document tools to attach source artwork, dielines and reports. The starter provides artwork revision and print specification fields; it does not render artwork or automate prepress.

Can a corrected proof close an earlier failed finding?

Create a fresh proof linked to the earlier attempt and the same packaging design. The latest active passing attempt with complete physical observations and source evidence can resolve that correction work while both attempts remain readable.

What is required to release the packaging design?

Approve the exact design revision and complete the two configured inspections in Quality. A proof result is contextual evidence; it does not create a release certificate.

Where can I find pricing?
