Printing and signage job, proof and delivery workbook
A proof approved for one item should not get mistaken for the artwork for another. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai keeps each print or sign job connected to its version, quantity and delivery plan. It also separates making the item, delivering it and installing it, so you can ask what the proposal actually includes.

Preparation only, not artwork production, measurement, material selection, mounting, electrical or installation instructions; no code, permit, accessibility, ownership or legal determination. This is not a production approval or a guarantee of color, finish, durability or results. Keep private artwork, addresses and customer information out.

How to use this resource
Use Print 1, Sign 1 and Proof A labels instead of private artwork, addresses or customer details. Record the quantities you want, but leave dimensions, materials, placement and other technical requirements for the provider to confirm. Reference the original written proof decision rather than treating this worksheet as approval to produce. Use the same item labels at delivery to record what arrived and what needs clarification. Vehicle graphics belong in the separate vehicle-wraps resource; brand concept development belongs in the design workbook.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
KEEP THE PROOF TRAIL CLEAR
Refer to the original proof and written decision. Filling this page does not authorize production.
PLAN DELIVERY AND RECORD RECEIPT
Separate production, delivery and installation. Record discrepancies as questions, not technical findings.
QUESTIONS FOR THE PRINT OR SIGN PRO
Ask the same questions for the same item list. Keep technical requirements with the provider's documents.
COMPARE ONE PHYSICAL JOB LIST
Use A and B for providers. Compare the same items and quantities, not only a package name or total.

Printing & Signage preparation checklist
- Give every requested physical item a label, intended use and requested quantity.
- Mark dimensions, material and placement as provider-confirmed or still awaiting review.
- Connect each item to its own artwork reference and latest proof version.
- Record who reviews the proof and where the original written decision is kept.
- Keep an earlier proof, a requested correction and the current accepted version distinct.
- Ask who handles production, delivery and installation, including any separate provider.
- Record the delivery arrangements and what happens if an item or quantity differs from the order.
- At receipt, use the same labels to note delivered quantities, open questions and the provider's reply.
Questions to ask a print or sign provider
- What physical items and quantities are included, and which requirements still need your review?
- How will you connect each item to the correct artwork and proof version before production?
- What does proof review cover, who records acceptance and how are later corrections handled?
- Which production, delivery and installation tasks do you handle, subcontract or exclude?
- How will the delivery record identify items, quantities and anything still outstanding?
- What is your process for a reported discrepancy, correction, reprint or later follow-up?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
