Worked example: planning the decision

Imagine twenty identical brand signs and twelve individual QR-code signs. There are thirty-two printed pieces but thirteen artwork versions: one repeated twenty times and twelve different codes.

Separate pieces from versions

Count how many physical signs you need, then create a distinct line for each print file. A different phone number, property address, name or code changes the printed result even if the layout stays visually similar.

Make a production manifest

Use columns for version ID, filename, quantity, printed faces, QR destination if relevant, receiving location and approval status. For example, a version called QR-East-07 should point to a checked destination and be matched to a precise quantity.

Understand why variation matters

Different layouts may introduce file-checking work, sorting requirements, alternate front/back art and extra approval stages. The effect on price depends on the actual production method; SignToro does not claim a fixed surcharge for each version.

Ask for a complete custom price

Send the artwork manifest, 24×18 size or alternative specifications, destination ZIP and required arrival date. The current SignToro matching-design packs do not automatically include variable artwork or different reverse sides.

Questions buyers ask

Is one changed letter a different version?

If it changes the image printed, record it as a different version.

Is every custom version available through regular checkout?

No. The standard product uses one matching design. Custom feasibility and pricing require confirmation.
