Approve Debossing and Packing on the Selected PU Surface
For a subtle logo, compare a tone-on-tone debossed sample with a printed or foil-stamped alternative. A digital mockup shows layout, but it cannot confirm how the actual PU grain, backing and surface finish will respond. Ask for a close-up photograph at the intended logo size, and check that small letters and thin lines remain readable.
Mark the logo position from a fixed edge or seam instead of saying only “centered.” For an envelope pouch, confirm whether the center refers to the full front face or the visible area below the flap. Keep the artwork clear of stitching, fasteners and folds. If products go into a shallow box, test the loaded folder, pen position and retaining strap together before approving the insert.

Review the logo-method comparison and sample approval checklist before sending the brief. The confirmed sample and written specification should identify the model, color, artwork revision and packaging arrangement.
