Frequently asked questions

Do you work with merchandise agencies and distributors?

Can you sign an NDA?

Confidentiality requirements can be reviewed before sensitive artwork, launch plans or client information are shared.

How are client revisions controlled?

Use versioned specifications, sample records and written approval gates so production follows the current approved files.
