Make the handoff easy to verify

Before packing a custom piece, write a short pickup note with the order reference, design version, and any visible feature the recipient should check. The note is a simple handoff tool, not evidence of material performance or delivery timing.

Keep the note matched to the approved version

Compare the note with the stored approval before it leaves the work area. That last pause can make a repeatable small-shop routine easier to follow. Browse /updates/ for related process notes.
