A football brief joins product construction with artwork that must work across curved panels. Clear panel files and a defined approval process help the design translate from screen to physical product.
Explain how the ball will be used
State whether the programme is for match, training, promotional or retail use. Construction and testing requirements must be confirmed for the intended market and purpose.
- Intended use
- Size range
- Surface and climate
- Target market
Build artwork around the panels
Request the correct panel template before finalising graphics. Keep essential logos and text away from seams and identify the viewing orientation.
- Panel artwork file
- Logo placement
- Colour references
- Required product markings
Agree presentation and packing
Decide whether the order requires individual bags, boxes, inflation guidance, barcode placement or bulk packing. Packaging should be part of the brief, not an afterthought.
- Individual or bulk packing
- Barcode and labels
- Carton marks
- Retail presentation
Use one approval reference
Record the final artwork revision and physical sample approval so production, packing and quality review work from the same reference.
- Approved artwork version
- Approved colour reference
- Confirmed marking
- Packing specification
Turn the checklist into your brief.
Send the product, expected quantity, artwork and delivery market. The Strive Sports team will confirm what is possible for your specific programme.
