Short answer: ask for a paid sample before the run and write what you will check on it. The approved sample becomes the reference the order is made and compared with, so check the frame colour, the finish, the print and the pack on the sample itself.
What to check on the sample
| Check | Frames and boards | Canvas and wall art | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size | Picture size and outside size | Final size and wrap or margin | Finished size |
| Colour | Frame colour against your swatch | Print colour on the chosen finish | Print colour on the fabric |
| Finish | Surface or front sheet | Canvas finish, lacquer coat | Hand and closure |
| Fittings | Hangers or stand, hooks | Hanging fitting | Zipper, eyelets or rod pocket |
| Pack | Label and insert | Label and insert | Label and insert |
