ProofForge

    Artwork approval software

    Artwork approval software that protects every print run

    A wrong approval means a reprint. ProofForge gives every job a clear approval step: the client sees the current version only, marks up what needs fixing, and signs off with their name — before you commit ink or material.

    A simple artwork approval process

    1. Step 1

      Upload the artwork

      Drop in a PDF, JPG or PNG up to 50 MB. ProofForge creates a job with version 1 and checks print readiness.

    2. Step 2

      Send one proof link

      Your client gets a branded link by email. No account, no login, no downloads — it opens in any browser.

    3. Step 3

      Client marks up and decides

      They drop pins on the exact spot that needs changing, or approve with their name (and optional signature).

    4. Step 4

      Print with a clear record

      Every view, comment and approval is timestamped in the job history, so you know exactly which version was signed off.

    Questions

    What is artwork approval software?

    Software that manages the step where a client reviews and formally approves artwork before it is printed or produced, keeping a record of each version and decision.

    Is a ProofForge approval legally binding?

    ProofForge records who approved, when, and which version, with an optional signature. It gives you clear written evidence of sign-off; whether that is binding depends on your terms with the client.

    Can I use it for packaging and labels?

    Yes. Any PDF or image artwork can be proofed, and the print-readiness check looks for dielines and cut contours.
