Common mistakes

Brief submitted too late — the client comes 2 weeks before an event, leaving no time for proofing and delivery. Underestimating quantities — a re-print after production approval costs 40-80% more than the first run.

Decoration technique mismatched to material — we always proof before production. Brand book colour mismatch — digital PDF proofing and physical sample eliminate surprises.

Seasonal logistics overlooked — Black Friday, Christmas and product launches add 2-3 working days to delivery. Missing certificates required by the end client — e.g. OEKO-TEX for infant textiles, REACH.

For remote employee a frequent mistake is underestimating quantities — for seasonal campaigns order +10-15% buffer. For home office a trap is choosing the wrong decoration technique — we always proof.

For package to home a mistake is missing size specification in the brief — recommend 30% S / 35% M / 25% L / 10% XL split. For desk accessories an issue is overlooking certificates required by the end client.

For specialty coffee a risk is missing Plan B for delivery — keep an alternative address. For thermal tumbler the problem is brief submitted too late — minimum reasonable time is 4-6 weeks.
