What needs checking
The fill, wall thickness and background can alter the apparent colour of a translucent body. A screen swatch cannot represent that assembly.

SURFACE REVIEW
The decoration question.
What to bring to the review
Ask for empty and representative filled samples. Keep the base reference, white print opacity, metallic accent and final coating as separate review records.
PROOF PREPARATION
A brief that stays specific.
01 /
Base body
Identify the actual substrate, coloured reference and target appearance. Ask whether the requested colour belongs in the material or in a surface treatment.
02 /
Decoration record
Provide the artwork revision, print colour reference, proposed metallic area and coating requirement separately. Do not merge them into one screenshot.
03 /
Complete assembly
Ask for an agreed physical sample set and document the tested conditions. Formula exposure, handling and assembly may affect the result.
NEXT STUDY
Carry the study forward.
No MOQ, price, lead time, recycled-content claim or certification is assigned to this fictional container. Confirm those details against the actual supplier proposal, approved construction and scope of decoration. A design direction becomes a procurement specification only after the right physical evidence is reviewed.
