The proof is very important as from your approval onwards there is no turning back. Take your time to check any spelling, punctuation and positioning.

If you follow the above suggestions then you might save yourself from having little mistakes .There is little worse then handing out 100's of give-aways at an exhibitions and trade shows only to discover the telephone number on the product is wrong!!
