A clearer path
from brief to delivery.
Eight project stages connect your award idea to an agreed specification, production reference and delivery plan. The route is developed around the design and order requirements.
Define the project.
Project brief
Share purpose, reference, size, quantity, material direction, personalization, packing, destination and receipt date.
Design review
Review form, structure, base, artwork, surface and the decisions that need development.
Commercial confirmation
Agree product scope, quantities, sample and tooling fees, freight, payment, trade terms, packing and delivery.
Sampling where needed
Set the physical review scope, assess feedback and agree revisions before approval.
Create one
approved reference.
Keep the version and scope together.
Record design version, dimensions, material, finish, personalization, parts, quantity and packing. Keep final artwork, specifications and applicable sample approvals together.
List remaining decisions separately with a responsible approver. Changes after approval are assessed for sample, production, cost or schedule impact before the reference is updated.
Coordinate the order.
Production files
Prepare the approved artwork, specification, quantities, components and packing instructions.
Production & surface
Coordinate the applicable tooling, casting, polishing, coating, marking and assembly route.
Checks against the reference
Review appearance, dimensions, artwork, component fit, stability, quantities and agreed requirements.
Packing & delivery
Confirm protection, allocation, destination, documents, transport and delivery responsibilities.
The details connect
from stage to stage.
Finish & assembly
Material, surface and structure determine the processing sequence and joining requirements.
Order checks
Use the approved reference and any agreed inspection criteria throughout the relevant stages.
Delivery preparation
Include special handling, packing, labels, documents and receipt requirements before shipment.

Practical details for a clearer project brief.
What should we send at the first stage?
Include the purpose, reference, quantity, size, material, artwork, packing, destination and receipt date. Identify undecided details so they can be reviewed.
Does every project need a sample?
The review establishes which physical details need approval and whether a sample is appropriate for the design and order.
What forms the production reference?
The approved design version, artwork, specification and applicable sample, covering material, dimensions, finish, parts, quantity and packing.
What happens if requirements change after approval?
Review the effect on feasibility, samples, tooling, cost and schedule, then update the shared reference before proceeding.
Which production processes may be involved?
Depending on the project, the route may include tooling, casting, polishing, plating, painting or coating, engraving and assembly.
How are timing and delivery established?
The order review connects design, approvals, quantity, production, packing and transport to the required receipt date. Confirm the applicable schedule and responsibilities in writing.
