Submitting a design and buying custom cloth are separate decisions. The upload begins a visual conversation about what you want the table to look like. It should not be mistaken for a completed print job, an installation booking or a guaranteed match to the finished material.
Why proof approval matters
In custom textile printing, artwork approval typically establishes the design layout before the print run begins. Changes can become difficult or impossible once production starts. Review the spelling, dimensions, image direction, rails, background and key colors closely before giving final approval. A mockup is a design visualization; a production proof is a separate decision point that should identify the version being approved.
Even with a careful color selection, what you see on a phone or computer is not an exact prediction of pigment on fabric. Color-sensitive designs may benefit from an approved physical swatch if one is available. Ask for the current options and costs rather than assuming a free sample is included.
Stage one: submit the visual idea
The starting file might be a logo, photograph, pattern or illustration. Include a preferred cloth color and say whether the existing background belongs in the design. A reference picture can help describe the goal, but the production team may later request a better original.
Stage two: evaluate the mockup
Check whether the table's shape is believable, the art is accurately reproduced, and the cushions have the treatment you asked for. Look carefully at names and logos. If the rendering changes the design, request a correction before moving forward.
Stage three: establish production requirements
A mockup is not a cutting guide. Confirm table dimensions, artwork quality, material, what is included in the order and whether installation will be arranged independently. Shipping and production schedules should be confirmed against the current quote.
Stage four: payment and fulfillment
For this custom felt offer, completed purchases are handled through a separate invoice process rather than assuming every mockup submission is a sale. Read the invoice, payment terms, production approval and delivery details before paying.
To begin, use the custom printed felt landing page and upload the best file you have. The free visual stage is designed to help you decide whether to proceed.
Process FAQs
Does uploading artwork mean I've ordered cloth?
No. A design submission does not itself mean the product has been purchased.
Can I ask for a correction to the preview?
Explain the error precisely, including altered lettering, background or positioning.
When do final table measurements matter?
They need to be confirmed before artwork is approved for actual production.
How will I know what I am paying for?
Check the written invoice and specifications for price, included items, exclusions and delivery expectations.

Separate the mockup from the final production proof
After uploading an image, review the proposed crop, background, orientation and table proportions. A free mockup shows the creative concept; it does not establish that a small image file is suitable for full-size production.
Before paying, confirm cloth size, material, any rail pieces, installation responsibilities, and final print-ready artwork. Keep the approved design and invoice together for reference.
