Artwork Proof Approval Software

Crests, mascots, and logos usually arrive in three separate emails, none of them attached to the job.

Drop the vector file (SVG, AI, EPS, PDF) onto the work order and EngraveDesk builds a proof from it. Each revision stays tied to the plate size and mounting holes on that order.

• ✓Vector files, outlined fonts, and proof PDFs live on the order, not in an inbox.
• ✓Proof links open without a customer login.
• ✓Operators pull the approved file straight from the floor.

A verbal “looks good” at the counter is how most rework starts.

EngraveDesk sends the proof to whoever placed the order. They review the layout, e-sign, and the proof locks. Staff can't approve it on their behalf.

• ✓The proof shows real plate dimensions, bevel borders, and screw locations.
• ✓One signature covers the master plate and the attached roster.
• ✓Signed proofs release to the laser or rotary queue without a paper traveler.

One misspelled name on a brass plate is a wasted blank and a rush redo.

The variable plate schedule sits next to the master layout, so the customer reads every name and signs once.

• ✓Names, award lines, and plate numbers line up with the layout.
• ✓Requested spelling changes are marked, not buried in a comment thread.
• ✓Text locks on approval; a later edit starts a new revision.

When a corporate client swaps a date or a logo, version control is what keeps the wrong file off the machine.

Every proof keeps a timestamped history with the note that came with it.

• ✓Compare two iterations side by side.
• ✓Fonts and logos stay attached to the job.
• ✓Approved proofs archive, so next year's plaque starts from last year's sign-off.
