Make content final
Supply approved spelling, symbols, and language variants. Separate legally required information for destination-market review. Mark any wording that must remain legible when the label is printed at its actual size.
Prepare heat-transfer label files with final text, physical dimensions, color references, variants, and placement context.
Buyer perspective
Most artwork delays start with an apparently finished logo that lacks production information. A heat-transfer label needs exact text, physical size, color separation, and the fabric on which it will be used. A clear brief lets the supplier proof the intended mark rather than guessing from a visual mockup.

Specification
A heat-transfer label proof needs more than a logo attachment. Make one packet that identifies the final wording, the intended physical dimensions, the garment color, and the artwork revision. This gives the sample a clear target and prevents an obsolete file from becoming the approved version.
Approve a dated art revision and its applied sample together; do not use an enlarged screen preview as the acceptance test.
What to decide

Send vector artwork where available, with live text converted or fonts included as permitted. State width, height, orientation, and color references. Use separate named files or artboards for size and color variants.
Identify material, finish, color, stretch, and placement near seams or collars. The production proof should be reviewed at physical size on that substrate before the label is treated as approved.
Send your artwork, quantity, destination, and specifications for a tailored quote.

If the smallest required text is unreadable at label size, resolve that design conflict before sampling; a cleaner source file alone cannot fix an overcrowded physical mark.
