No template to build
The artwork’s own words become the spreadsheet’s columns, so there is nothing to set up before the first version is made.
Artwork versioning · for brands and their estates
One spreadsheet, every version of the artwork
Any artwork with live text is already a template. Download a spreadsheet headed by the words on the artwork itself, add a row per store — the price, the town — and upload it back: a press-ready file per row, every typeface, colour and position untouched.
The problem
A designer’s week of versions
Twenty stores, three prices, two languages: versioning POS by hand is days of a designer’s time, and every version made by hand is another chance for a typo on a price. When the price changes the week before launch, it all starts again.
How it works
Artwork versioning, step by step
01
Pick the artwork
Any print-ready PDF with live text — there is no template to build first.
02
Download the spreadsheet
Its columns are headed by the words on the artwork itself.
03
A row per version
A store, a price, a town, a language: one row each.
04
Upload it back
A press-ready PDF for every row, with the design exactly as it was, ready to approve and print.
What it does
Artwork versioning: what it does
The design untouched
Typefaces, colours and positions stay as designed; only the words change.
Press-ready files
A print-ready PDF per row, ready for approval and print.
Language versions
Translations kept beside the original, approved the same way.
Locked brand templates
Templates for print and social where the brand decides what can change, so artwork is made safely by anyone.
Editable in the store portal
The same editable artwork lets a store change its local details when it orders.
Questions
Artwork versioning: what people ask
Does the artwork need setting up as a template first?
No. Any artwork with live text works: the spreadsheet’s columns are the words already on it.
Will the fonts and layout survive?
Yes. The original typefaces, colours and positions are kept, and only the words you change are changed.
Can it make language versions?
Yes. Language versions are kept alongside the original artwork and go through approval in the same way.
Do the versions still go through approval?
They can. Each version is a press-ready file of its own and goes through the same approval as any other artwork before it is printed.
