What a mockup can show
A useful mockup identifies the main product views, colour areas, logo positions, and visible details. It supports discussion but does not prove fabric feel, fit, stretch, construction quality, or exact colour on the finished material. Those questions need suitable references and, where required, physical sampling.
What to send the manufacturer
Share logo files, colour references, front and back views, desired placements, and the intended product. Explain which details in a reference image are important and which should change. State whether artwork needs to work across several sizes or related products. Avoid sending conflicting logo versions without identifying the current one.
Confirm the design-work scope
Artwork preparation, file cleanup, revisions, and delivery timing should be agreed for your project. Confirm the artwork deliverables, revision plan, charges, and estimated date with our team. Ask what is included in the quotation and whether further work is needed to turn the visual into production-ready instructions.
Turn visual approval into a specification
Record artwork dimensions and placement measurements, not only a small approval image. Link the mockup to the material direction, size chart, trims, and sample brief. Confirm colour references using the agreed approval method. A strong mockup is a starting point for manufacturing instructions, not a replacement for them.
