Stop losing hours to manual proofs
Every custom order starts with a proof. Here's how to stop rebuilding them by hand in Photoshop and turn a 20-minute task into 30 seconds.
If you run a custom apparel or promo shop, you already know the tax: every quote needs a proof, and every proof means opening a design tool, placing the logo, faking the mockup, exporting, and emailing it over. Do that ten times a day and you've lost the afternoon.
The hidden cost of hand-built mockups
The problem isn't any single proof — it's the repetition. The same hat, the same garment, the same placement math, rebuilt from scratch for every customer. It's slow, it's error-prone, and it doesn't scale past you.
- 10–20 minutes per proof, most of it repetitive setup
- Inconsistent placement and sizing between quotes
- A bottleneck that lives entirely in one person's head
A faster path
ProofBolt turns the repetitive part into a wizard: pick the product, drop the logo, and get a clean, consistent proof in about thirty seconds. Your library — your products, your materials — is one click away, and every proof is saved to reopen later.
Less time in Photoshop, more time closing orders. That's the whole idea.
