Checking names and dates for personalised mugs

Personal details should be copied exactly and approved in context before production.

Updated 2026-09-10

Preserve supplied wording

Record capitalisation, punctuation, accents and date format. Query ambiguity rather than guessing and keep the original instruction.

Proof on the product layout

Check each name or message in the actual wrap, including line breaks, safe areas and viewing direction. Automated data still needs a representative production check.

Lock the approved version

Record the approver, date and file version. Any correction after approval should produce a new proof and a clear effect on timing or cost.
