We offer three styles of proofing - PDF, Video, and Physical. With most products, you can add a proofing option directly from that page, but that is not the case with booklets. The PDF option is the most popular for most projects. For booklets, we highly recommend adding a video sample to your order.
PDF Proof
Great for proofreading
Before printing, we’ll email you a digital proof in PDF format generally within 8 business hours. In most cases, we add one day to the turnaround time. A digital proof may help you visualize bleed and trim areas. It is also useful in discovering errors such as missing text and images.
Video Proof
Time-efficient and accurate representation
Video proofs are a fantastic and efficient way to see your physical booklet before committing to the entire run. Before production begins, we will email or text you a .MOV video showcasing one booklet. We highly recommend taking advantage of this step before moving forward with small or large booklet orders.
Physical Proofs
Hold a tangible proof in your hand
Sometimes it's nice to see a physical proof before printing so we’ll send a physical proof for your approval which only adds one or two days to your turnaround time. Standard proofs are sent UPS Ground or USPS and Next Day proofs are sent UPS Next Day Air. Your estimated ship date will change based on when we receive approval to move forward. Newsletter/Booklet proofs may take 1-3 business days to set up, but we try to send them out as fast as we can.
We strive to send out physical proofs quickly, and we ensure shipping takes three days or less.
Physical proofs are non-refundable.
