Brief.
Tell us what the piece is, what it needs to say, and where it will be printed. If a brand kit exists we start from it; if not, we build one first.
YOU RECEIVE
A confirmed brief: size, bleed, colour mode, content and printer specification.
HOW IT WORKS
From brief
to press-ready.
Four stages. Agents do the preparation and production work; a designer reviews and you approve. Nothing is released without a checked file.
THE WORKFLOW
Follow a business card
through the process.
Select a stage to see what the agents do, what we ask of you and what the designer checks.
01 / BRIEF
Tell us the job.
Item, size, quantity, finish, content and who is printing it. Send your logo, brand guide and any printer specification you have.
- Agents
- Read the brief and brand assets, confirm the trim size and printer specification, and list anything missing.
- You
- Answer the open questions and confirm the content that must appear.
- Designer
- Confirms the job is set up to the right size, stock and printer before design starts.
- Output
- A confirmed brief with size, bleed, colour mode and content locked.
Concepts.
The design agents produce layout options in your brand. You see them as proofs at the correct trim size with bleed and safe area shown.
YOU RECEIVE
Concept proofs for review, with the recommended option noted.
Review.
Choose a direction and mark your changes. Revision rounds are agreed in the brief. A designer refines the chosen layout and checks it against the print specification.
YOU RECEIVE
A revised proof and a designer’s pre-flight check.
Release.
You approve the final proof. We export press files, verify them, and send them to Mirai Printing, Mirai Visual or your printer.
YOU RECEIVE
Print-ready files, a review proof and the source artwork.
WHO DOES WHAT
Agents produce.
Designers check.
You approve.
The agents handle layout production, versions and export. A designer owns the quality decision on every file. You own the approval, and you receive the artwork.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you brief.
Do you print as well?
Yes. Mirai Printing handles print runs and Mirai Visual produces signage and vehicle graphics. You can also send the files to any printer; we set them up to that printer’s specification.
Can you work with our existing brand?
Yes. Send your logo files, brand guide and examples of past print. We follow the kit you have. If files are missing or low resolution, we tell you before starting.
Who owns the artwork?
You do. Final print-ready files and the delivered artwork are yours. Licensed fonts and stock imagery remain under their own licence terms, which we identify in the release.
How many revisions are included?
Revision rounds are agreed in the brief for each job, so the scope is clear before work starts.
What do you need from us?
The item and size, the content, your brand assets, the printer or specification, and the date you need the files.
