What did the buyer ask to see in the mockup?
The current headwear specification, the artwork already supplied, the approved snapback details and the perforation-pattern requirements.
The mockup was an approval checkpoint
The instruction was to send the mockup back for review first. In practical terms, that meant checking whether the visual matched the working brief before spending time on the physical sample.
Four inputs had to line up
- Current headwear specification.
- Artwork already supplied.
- Approved snapback details.
- Perforation-pattern requirements.
The important distinction is that this was not a logo dropped onto a stock cap image. The buyer expected the drawing to carry the details already agreed in the project.
