(And why it doesn't scale).
A custom order comes in, then the PDFs, attachments, screenshots. Proof, "one more change", re-export, repeat. Production waits for "final".
What the customer finalizes is what production receives: print-ready files, generated instantly under your rules.
This is what Zakeke was built for.
What the customer finalizes is exactly what production receives: production-ready files, generated instantly under your rules.
No proofs to build. No files to interpret. Rules are enforced before checkout, and production receives print-ready SVG/PDF/DXF.
The gatekeeper blocks unprintable combinations in real time. No manual validation before production.
Every mistake happens during translation: email → PDF → Photoshop → production. Zakeke removes that layer entirely.
No designers chasing approvals. No "which version is final?". What the customer finalizes is the production file.
