Why this checklist

Print jobs fail on missing bleeds, fonts, or proofs. This list captures the production package printers and in-house teams expect before plates are made or digital presses run.

When print packs are incomplete

A missing font should not halt the press day.

  • PDFs arrive without bleed or crop marks.
  • Font packages or dieline files are forgotten.
  • Proofs live in email instead of the job folder.

What this template solves

A production-ready checklist for print workflows.

  • Production items are explicit

    Submitters see fonts, proofs, and instructions as first-class asks.

  • Lands in a request-only folder

    Files go to a request-only folder. Filecue does not keep copies.

  • Fits creative shops

    Pair with Creative agencies when print is part of the engagement.

Questions about templates

Questions about print-ready file collection.

Can I require PDF/X exports?

Restrict the item to PDF and specify the PDF/X standard in the item title or notes.

Do printers need accounts?

No Filecue account is required. The request must still be open, the link must be valid, and the printer must provide the password if one is configured.

Are proofs optional?

Yes. Mark proof items optional when you only need finals.

Where are files stored?

In a request-only folder in your connected Google Drive or personal OneDrive.
