Review the finished goodie against the order specification and accepted proof. Flag defects before packing, and capture evidence of a repeatable issue.

Compare the proof and completed product for dimensions, visible content, registration, surface finish, color, and material defects. Record pass/fail against the stated acceptance criteria; do not replace them with subjective approval after production.

The maker can record inspection as three questions: Did the correct file and blank reach production? Did the image land at the approved size and location? Did the finished surface pass the stated quality target? Photograph or document defects while the item, material lot, and machine settings are still identifiable. If the artwork itself needs revision, ask the creator for a new approved export rather than editing silently.

Remove temporary production files and waste according to the shop's access and safety procedures while retaining authorized job records and the approved version.

Limit access to creator production files to the assigned job. When cleanup is due, follow platform retention and privacy requirements for originals, derivatives, previews, and operator exports. Deleting temporary copies should not erase the authorized order record.

For a production failure, retain enough authorized evidence to diagnose the defect before clearing temporary work files. Then follow Goodiee's access and retention rules for creator assets, local RIP caches, proofs, and backups. An operator should not keep an unrestricted personal copy of the design simply because it was needed for a job. Cleanup and record retention should both be deliberate.

Protect the finished surface and match the product's packing instructions. A correct image file cannot prevent transit damage.

Choose protection based on the finished surface, not the JPEG. Prints may need interleaving or rigid support; decorated goods may need abrasion and movement protection. Packaging material should not contact a not-yet-cured finish unless the approved process permits it.

A finished image can be damaged by abrasion, pressure, moisture, or contact with an uncured surface. Choose packaging that protects the actual goodie and does not transfer ink or residue. Record any special orientation or handling instruction so the buyer receives the approved finish, not only the correct design.

Store approved digital files with controlled access and retention. Store physical goods and materials according to their documented conditions; do not reuse creator artwork beyond the authorized job.

Store the accepted production revision and proof decision so a re-order can be evaluated. Re-use of an image for another order still depends on the creator's authorization and the new product's requirements.

Keep production assets in the authorized job location with controlled access. If a buyer orders again, retrieve the approved revision and compare the new product, blank, and maker setup before reuse. The file should not become a general design library for unrelated work merely because it was once used for an order.
