The answers, simply.

Place them between two clean, stiff boards slightly larger than the cards, then slide the set into a dry pouch on a flat surface. Avoid placing hard objects directly on top.

It's best to keep it flat. Rolling can deform the paper, which will be especially noticeable if you later want to frame it.

Review your carrier's conditions for your trip and ticket. This article's packing advice is not a transport rule.

Age gives a first indication, but sizes vary depending on body shapes. Ask for the currently worn size and check the measurements or indications of the chosen model.

It's best to check that the garment fits at the time it will be worn. An adaptable piece may offer adjustments or other uses, without justifying an initially unsuitable size.

The model name, care instructions, and for an adjustable piece, a link to the guide explaining the settings and different ways to wear it.

Postcards are in A6 format, 10.5 × 14.8 cm. Also check the orientation of the illustration and the visible frame opening chosen.

Three vertical cards take up 31.5 cm in width. With two 3 cm gaps, count 37.5 cm excluding frames. With frames, use their external dimensions for the calculation.

The occasion, recipients, quantities, intended formats, graphic elements, work budget, date, and delivery location. These points help prepare a tailored proposal.

When working with clothing, organize size selection. If you don’t know the recipients, you can consider unisex options without sizes and clarify distribution constraints.

Also specify the medium, quantity, desired placements, delivery or pickup date and location. Creating graphics and printing from an approved file involve different tasks.

Set the purchase timing, target clients, and available space. Then select a few product families the team can properly present and manage.
