For sign and signage shops

Sign proofs approved before fabrication.

Your customer uploads a logo or layout on the product page. You send back a proof with the size, material and colours. They approve a specific version, and only then do you cut, print or build.

A sign is made once, and it is big

A sign is often the most expensive thing a customer orders from you, and the hardest to remake. A wrong phone number on a banner or a logo colour that does not match the brand ends up on a storefront.

That is why sign shops ask for a signed proof approval form. A PDF that comes back by email shows that someone said yes, but not always to which version, or for which item on the order.

Keep the approval with the order line. Each uploaded file and each approval stays attached to the order line it belongs to, so the shop floor sees the version that was agreed.

How it works

1. The customer uploads

   On the product page they add their logo or layout before checkout: JPG, PNG, PDF, WebP, HEIC, SVG, EPS or AI, up to 20 MiB per file.

2. You publish a proof

   Show size, material and colours, as an image or a PDF. Offer up to three options on one proof if the customer should choose. Each proof is numbered.

3. They approve or ask for changes

   The customer opens a private link, with no account, and approves a version or writes what to change. Opening the link is not an approval; it takes an explicit click.

4. You make the approved version

   Before production, the approved version is checked against the current order, and you can print a production card from a PNG or JPEG proof.

Do you still need a proof approval form?

A form works for a few orders a week. If you keep one, our free artwork approval form template lists the fields worth having.

Upproof records the same decision without the paperwork: which numbered version was approved, for which order line, and when. If customers send files through another upload app, you can attach the source file to the job yourself.
