Signs and awards, with the copy proven first.
Awards and signs fail on the copy: a misspelled name, a wrong date, a list in the wrong order. MakeFlow puts the exact copy in front of the customer before anything is cut, then batches approved jobs by substrate and finish.
- Exact copy on the proof page
- Substrate and finish batching
- Missing-copy flags
- Print-ready batch sheets
Three steps from paid order to released batch.
Awards and signs fail on the copy: a misspelled name, a wrong date, a list in the wrong order. MakeFlow puts the exact copy in front of the customer before anything is cut, then batches approved jobs by substrate and finish.
MakeFlow reads the line-item properties your store already captures and maps them through a template into a single work packet. Any property the template does not recognise is kept verbatim, so nothing a customer typed is ever dropped.
Jobs that need approval go to a calm, branded proof page. The customer approves or asks for a change, and every version is kept with a timestamp. Approved jobs then group by material, method and colour, so the shop floor runs setups instead of order numbers.

Common questions
Can the customer see the layout?
The proof page shows the text, font and placement you captured, plus any image. It is a confirmation, not a design tool.
How are revisions handled?
Each change is a new version with a timestamp. The old version is kept, so you can always see what was approved.
Can it split a batch by material?
Yes — acrylic, oak and brass naturally fall into separate batches because substrate is a batching key.
