Reorder planning

The application comes first. Shape the brief around where your piece will go, what it needs to say, and how it will be seen.

Prepare a repeat-job review without losing the details.

Use the earlier job as a reference, not a current specification. Separate what you know about the past work from what you want now. Previous artwork, prices, materials, availability, and timing all need verification.

Choose the intended repeat path

  • Intended exact repeat. Identify the earlier specification and artwork version you want to repeat. They still need verification; an exact-repeat request is not a production approval.
  • Changed work. List each requested difference, even if only one detail changes. Revised artwork or specifications can require a new production and pricing review.
  • Not sure. Mark the uncertain details and keep the request in specification review. Do not describe unknown details as unchanged.

Start with the earlier job

  • Note an order or job reference if one is already available to you.
  • If the reference is unknown, describe the approximate date, project type, location, or artwork name without adding private customer information. A missing reference does not prevent planning, but earlier work would need identification through an approved process.

Write down what you want now

  1. Product and quantity. State the requested quantity, unique designs, dimensions, and units separately from any prior quantity or size. If the use or product direction has changed, revisit Project types.
  2. Artwork direction. Note the intended filename or revision if known, and whether it appears unchanged, revised, or uncertain. Use Artwork preparation to describe revisions and open questions.
  3. Specification changes. Compare the earlier and requested size, surface or use, material preference, finish, and display method. Label each difference rather than relying on “same as last time.”
  4. Fulfillment context. Record requested dates and destinations as planning inputs only; availability and timing require review. If pieces vary by location or phase, organize them with For business. Shipping, pickup, delivery, and installation arrangements are not established by this checklist.
  5. Purchasing context. Note internal approval or purchase-reference requirements without entering payment details or confidential records.
