How do design proofs work?

Free design proofs: when you get one, how to get one before you order, and how to approve or change it.

Written by Sean Mulligan

A design proof is a picture of your finished design that you approve before we make anything. Proofs are always free.

Will I get a proof?

  • Most orders: check the free Add Design Proof box (+$0.00) in your cart. It's off unless you check it.

  • These orders always get a proof automatically: orders with an uploaded logo or artwork, die cut wristbands, acrylic and PVC keychains, tote bags, and orders whose design notes change the design.

Can I see a proof before I order?

Yes. Design your item, go to checkout, and copy your cart number from the bottom of the page. It starts with WB-, and you don't need to enter any payment details to get it. Paste it in a chat with us, and a teammate will make your proof.

When will I get my proof?

Within 24 hours of your order, usually the same day. Look for an email that says "You have a design proof to review", and check your spam folder.

How do I approve or change my proof?

  1. Open the email "You have a design proof to review".

  2. Click Review Proof.

  3. Approve it, or click Request Changes and tell us what to change. We'll send you a new proof.

Production starts after you approve. If we can't get the design right, you can cancel for a full refund.

Does my proof affect my delivery date?

Yes. Production waits for your approval, so a slow approval can delay your order. Approve your proof as soon as it looks right.

I ordered without a proof. Can I still get one?

If you ordered in the last 24 hours, contact us right away and a teammate will check whether a proof can still be added before production starts.
