The label for a blend that goes on press on the 24th, and the two empty fields keeping it off. Everything drawn is finished; what is missing is in the product record, and nothing here fills a blank in with something plausible.

The product record has no origin and no ingredients line. The label is not typeset with a guess; the two fields are waiting on somebody.
The label
Drawn at 60 × 90 mm, the size it prints. The two lines reading “not provided” are printing exactly what the record holds.
- 250 g ℮

What the gate found
Run on the server by the same function the review editor runs on every keystroke. Neither of these is a drawing problem.

The licence one is worth the minute it takes to read. Dock Mono is where the batch number is set and the brand book bought it for screen; this is packaging. The answer is a face swap or an invoice, and it is cheaper to know now than after a run of twelve thousand.
Every field the label must carry
Set from the product record and the company brain, never typed into the artwork. Where a field is empty the label stops, and the empty field has somebody's initials against it.

The owner said in the thread on the 11th what both values are — two lots from Huila and one from Antigua, and one word for the ingredients. Saying it in a thread is not the same as putting it in the record, and the label is set from the record. That is the whole distance between a studio that stops and one that guesses.
What the printer asks of a file
The arithmetic of putting ink on paper. Every row passes, and has since the 10th — what is holding this job is a record and a licence, not a drawing.
| Check | What was found | State |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution at the laid-out size | 300 dpi at 60 × 90 mm, and the press wants 300 | Pass |
| Bleed past the trim | 3 mm on every edge. The ground runs past the cut, so a knife a millimetre out does not leave a white hairline. | Pass |
| Colour space | CMYK, built that way rather than converted on the way out. A late conversion is where a brand green turns grey. | Pass |
| Smallest type on the label | 6.5 pt, and the floor for this stock is 6 pt. Below it the ingredients line closes up and the label stops doing its job. | Pass |
| The mark's size and clear space | The wordmark is set across 24 mm of a 60 mm label, above the 18 mm floor, with a full cap height clear on every side. | Pass |
Checked, never print-ready
Checked, never print-ready. Resolution, bleed, colour space, minimum type and the mark's geometry are arithmetic, and Omni checks them. Colour on paper is not arithmetic: a screen cannot prove a press. The file goes to the printer marked checked, the printer pulls a proof, and a person in the building signs the proof. That signature is not on this screen and is not meant to be.

6 of the 7 wholesale entries can be set today. The one that cannot is Autumn Blend, and the reason is not in these columns: the spread carries an origin for every product and the record does not hold one. The row looks complete and it is not.
Both of the things holding this job have a person's name against them — two fields in a record and a typeface licence. Neither is a rendering problem, and neither is something Omni is allowed to solve on its own.
