A repeat print order is easier when the previous approved job record is complete. Use this repeat print order checklist to confirm that artwork, materials, quantity and delivery details still match the current need.
Verify the old reference
Find the final approved PDF, proof, specification and order record. Confirm the product name, version and date before reusing them. Ask the content owner whether prices, contact details, offers or product information have changed since the last run. Do not reprint a file solely because someone used it before.
Confirm production details
Review the finished size, page count, quantity, paper or material, finish, binding and packing instructions. Ask the printer to confirm that the same specification remains available and that the new deadline is feasible. If the product, process or material has changed, request advice on whether a new proof or sample makes sense.
- Confirm the approved artwork and revision.
- Update the quantity and delivery destinations.
- Check stock, finish and binding against the prior job.
- Verify any date-sensitive copy or QR destination.
- Record a new order number and approval date.
Decide whether to reproof
If the artwork stays the same and the printer verifies the file and specification, ask about the repeat-order process. If any content or production detail changes, create a new version and review the proof. Keep old files marked as superseded when the updated version replaces them.
