01

Assets to prepare before production

A usable channel brief identifies lead listing image, material detail, scale reference, personalisation example, packaging or included item. Approve colour, edge quality, scale and included components on the product master first; channel derivatives should not become the only files the brand owns.

02

Preserve evidence of making

Texture, tool marks and natural variation may be central to the product story. The retouch brief lists only temporary distractions and protects craft detail.

03

Make scale understandable

A clean cut-out is not always enough. A scale reference or additional view may reduce uncertainty more effectively than more aggressive retouching.

04

Separate examples from the purchased configuration

Personalised products need clear file and listing references so an example name or colour is not mistaken for the buyer’s exact configuration.

05

Bulk output, review and delivery

A saved channel profile can generate repeatable variants while SKUs, handles and item identifiers remain linked to the source order. listing-ready image groups with product and personalisation references. Direct publishing stays labelled setup required until the company owner authorises and tests the real seller account.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Questions teams ask before production.

01Should handmade products look identical?

02Can personalisation mockups be created?

Yes from approved artwork and a defined template, without implying an unavailable option.

03Can backgrounds be cleaned?

Yes, while keeping the product’s material and condition truthful.
