Artwork and label review

Identify the artwork revision, record label checks and give the reviewer the evidence for a decision.

Step by step

Identify the revision Inspector

Inspector selects the inspection and confirms the SKU, market and version before attaching the artwork. Open the attachment to confirm it is the file the team intends to examine.
- Establish the revision and its operational context
- Updates Artwork versions, Inspections
Prepare the artwork review Inspector

Inspector submits the artwork with its inspection context. Draft artwork moves into legal review under the agreed revision procedure. Quality Approver arranges the legal input appropriate to the market and the claim being reviewed.
- Present the attachment for review
- Updates Artwork versions
Record label checks Inspector or Quality Approver

Inspector or Quality Approver records the applicable allergen, ingredients, barcode, claims and language results against the exact artwork. Each check carries its own evidence and reviewer attribution. A failed result stays visible while the concern is resolved.
- Retain attributed results and evidence
- Updates Label checks, Artwork versions, People
Decide the artwork revision Quality Approver

Quality Approver approves the artwork after the agreed content review. Approved describes the artwork decision; the related inspection still needs its own disposition. When a revision is superseded, agree when to mark it Obsolete.
- Record the artwork approval outcome
- Updates Artwork versions
ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.

And how to keep it from happening.

A filename looks familiar, but it belongs to another market. Confirm the artwork identity before examining the label text.
Corrected evidence overwrites the earlier submission. Use the correction route that preserves the submitted evidence and adds its attributed successor.
Approval of the artwork is treated as release of the production run. Carry the evidence into [inspection and disposition](/label-packaging-compliance/processes/inspection-and-disposition) and follow the separately agreed production release procedure.
