Promotional-product resellers can now generate a fully branded print proof and the production-ready file together, in under 20 seconds, with no designer required.

Amstelveen, the Netherlands — FastEditor, the artwork-automation platform for the promotional products and branded merchandise industry, has added branded print proofs to its Studio Tool. Sales teams and account managers can place a customer's artwork on any product and download a polished, on-brand print proof together with the production-ready file in under 20 seconds, without a designer on call.

Until now, proofing a promotional product often meant 15 to 30 minutes of manual work in Illustrator or Photoshop for every order. With branded print proofs in the Studio Tool, that step collapses to a few clicks. The proof carries the reseller's own branding automatically, including logo, brand colours, contact details, terms and any custom content, because proofs are templated per workspace. It is delivered as a PDF by default (PNG and JPG optional) and is generated from the exact same data as the production file, so what the customer approves is what gets printed.

Customers approve the proof online. Every approval is timestamped, stored against the order and bundled with the production-ready file when it moves to manufacturing, cutting out follow-up emails and preventing after-the-fact disputes about what was agreed.

For resellers and suppliers, FastEditor reports an 80 percent lower cost per proof and proof creation that is 5 to 10 times faster than manual work. Because customers see a real preview of their order before checkout, online conversion is up to 20 percent higher. The production files themselves carry a 99.95 percent success rate, with no manual fixes.

"Every promotional-products reseller knows the proofing bottleneck. A customer wants to see their logo on the product before they commit, and someone has to build that mock-up by hand. By making branded print proofs part of the Studio Tool, we turn that into a 20-second, self-service step that still looks like it came from your own studio. Your account managers close faster, your customers know exactly what they're getting, and your brand is on every proof," said Rick Molenaar, Chief Commercial Officer at FastEditor.

Branded print proofs are available now in the FastEditor Studio Tool. The feature works with every product in the Product Hub and with any logo, including lower-quality uploads, which are automatically vectorised and improved. Demos can be requested at fasteditor.com.
