Separate the intended effects
Separate printed graphics, metallic accents and overall surface colour. Specify the areas, colour references and tactile priorities. Hot stamping uses heat and pressure to transfer decoration; the correct route for a particular component still needs a feasibility review.
| Visual goal | Candidate route | Sample review |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics | Screen or other printing | Position, colour, definition |
| Metallic accent | Hot stamping | Substrate, area, adhesion |
| Surface colour | Coating | Colour, feel, durability |
Review artwork on the actual geometry
Request the usable decoration area before fixing text and registration. Review curves, shoulders, seams and locating features. A graphic placement in a render expresses intent, while the supplier must confirm the actual process area.
Approve a complete decorated sample
Review the substrate, base colour, decoration and closure as one sample. Agree appearance, position, adhesion and handling requirements. Revisit the affected decisions when the substrate or treatment changes instead of assuming the earlier approval transfers automatically.
Your Project Checklist
- Describe effects by area
