Can I start a SEG review if some specifications are incomplete?

Yes. Arvico can start review from partial information such as frame photos, outside size, visible graphic size, artwork, quantity, deadline, and ship-to ZIP. Missing fit or proof details are handled before production release.

Does a review automatically release production?

No. Fit review, artwork review, FastProof intake, quote review, payment or account approval, and proof approval are separate steps. Production does not start automatically from an intake submission.

Which photos should I send for frame matching?

Send a full-frame photo, close-ups of corners and channel, side profile depth, labels, and the edge of the existing SEG graphic if available.

Do photos replace measurements?

Photos help review fit risk, but measurements such as outside size and visible graphic size are still useful when available.

How to Photograph Your Existing Frame

Good photos let Arvico start fit review even when the buyer does not know the frame model. Capture the full display, channel, corner, side profile, old graphic edge, light source, and labels.

Full frame

Show the whole display

Step back and capture the installed frame, orientation, and surrounding context.

Corner

Show how it joins

A corner close-up helps identify extrusion family and fit constraints.

Channel

Show the graphic slot

Photograph the slot, profile depth, silicone edge, and old graphic if available.

Label

Show any model marks

Old labels, PO notes, or model numbers can shorten fit review.

Procurement confidence

Fit, proof, and shipping clarity before production release.

This is the trust layer buyers need before switching suppliers: what Arvico reviews, what can stay unknown at intake, how pricing/payment are handled, and what evidence can be attached to the order record.

Fit reviewedStart with frame photos, outside size, visible graphic size, current supplier/model if known, or an old order reference. Unknown details can be resolved during review.

FastProof boundaryAI-assisted intake can flag artwork and fit questions. Human review controls final production release when risk exists.

Shipping confirmedHardware, oversize, show-site, residential, lift-gate, Canada, Mexico, and multi-location shipments are confirmed during review.

Saved fit recordsAfter a frame fit is confirmed, the setup can support easier campaign refresh and replacement graphic reorder.

Why Arvico

Factory-direct SEG review, not a blind catalog checkout.

Factory-led workflowProduction, proof review, QC, packing notes, and aftersales are handled as one reviewed workflow instead of a blind catalog checkout.

Daily shipping disciplineRoute, packing, freight allowance, and shipping exceptions are confirmed during review so buyers understand what is included before release.

AI where it reduces riskAI-assisted FastProof helps intake artwork risk notes, fit questions, and QC direction while human review controls final production release.

Buyer assurance

Start with partial informationBuyers can begin with photos, old model details, visible size, or artwork links, then Arvico asks for missing fit details.

Review before releaseFit risk, artwork risk, freight exceptions, and billing readiness are checked before production starts.

Premium positioningSEG lightboxes, replacement graphics, and frame-matching review are supported by AI-assisted FastProof intake and human production review.

Payment and invoice handling

Payment comes after proof/quote review, not before risk is understood.

Small and standard ordersCard payment through Shopify/draft invoice is the simplest path after quote and proof review. Card processing cost is normally built into the public price unless a separate policy is approved.

B2B purchase ordersACH, wire, check, or net terms can be offered after account approval. A PI/invoice should show product, freight allowance or shipping line, tax/exemption status, and payment instructions.

International entitiesHK/HSBC, PayPal, cross-border card, and wire fees need owner/accountant policy before public wording. Keep public copy neutral: payment instructions are issued after billing review.
