You’ve successfully convinced your team that recognition is worthwhile, and now you want to ensure that your awards reflect that commitment. Ordering a custom award is an exciting process, but we understand it can be a bit nerve-wracking. You’ve invested your creativity and vision into designing the perfect piece, and you want it to meet your expectations before it comes to life.
At Award Maven, we want you to feel confident in your choice. That’s why we provide a proof of your custom award before it’s produced. This way, you can review every detail and make sure it’s exactly what you envisioned!
Why is a Proof Essential?
A proof is a visual representation of your final award design, allowing you to review and approve every detail before production begins. It’s a crucial step in the custom award process for several reasons:
- Ensuring Accuracy: A proof allows you to verify that all the elements of your design, including text, logos, images, and personalization, are accurate and exactly as you envisioned them. It’s your chance to catch any errors or make any final adjustments before the award is produced.
- Peace of Mind: Ordering a custom award is an investment, and a proof provides peace of mind, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied with the design before committing to production.
What Types of Proofs Are Available?
- Digital Proofs: Most award providers, including Award Maven, offer digital proofs in PDF format. These proofs are typically emailed to you for review and approval. They provide a detailed visual representation of the award, including all personalization and design elements.
- Physical Proofs (Prototypes): For highly complex or intricate designs, some award providers may offer physical prototypes. These are tangible samples of the award, allowing you to see and feel the final product before mass production. However, physical proofs usually come at an additional cost and may extend the production timeline.
