Brief item 1

Separate the approvals

Use an unprinted structural sample to check dimensions, assembly and product fit. Use a printed sample to review colour, text and finish on the intended material; approving one does not approve the other.

Brief item 2

Keep the approval record

Save the actual contents list, drawing and artwork revision beside the approved sample. List any open changes and identify who can release them before production, rather than relying on an informal photograph or sample name.
