MOST COMMON REASONS FOR ORDER HOLDS

• Missing production assets
• IPR Form is not supplied or is incomplete.
• Artwork is not supplied to our specifications/requirements.
• Client’s master is corrupt/unreadable.
• Client has delayed or not responded to a request for information/clarification.
• Client has delayed or not supplied required licensing documentation for their master.

VERY IMPORTANT “holds” will delay the estimated ready-by-date for your order even if your order is on a “Rush” unless specifically authorized by the production staff.
