[VAL](https://knowledgebase.amsterdamwarehouse.com/val?hsLang=en) # Checklist for briefing a VAL job ## All VAL activities must be submitted via the online form after your order is placed. Use this checklist to prepare your request properly. ### **Form link (after order):** You’ll find the VAL form on the confirmation page after completing your shopping cart. If you placed your order via API or sFTP, use this direct link: [Submit VAL Request](https://share-eu1.hsforms.com/1Hdu4fnkGRSuQvBEDQOMDHwg7331) ### **1. Repeat order:** Do you have a previous shipment number? Add it in the form — this helps us skip the sample step if applicable. ### **2. Label file requirements:** 1. - Upload your label as a print-ready PDF in the exact label size. We print your file as-is: black-and-white (monochrome), no scaling, no editing. - We do not design, adjust, or recreate labels. Requests such as "same as last time" or label content sent as text will not be processed — always attach the actual file. - Indicate the label size in the form (see available sizes below). **Available label sizes (in mm):**  | 31 x 22 mm | 57 x 19 mm | 76 x 51 mm | 100 x 50 mm | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 38 x 25 mm | 57 x 32 mm | 76 x 102 mm | 102 x 38 mm | | 51 x 25 mm | 57 x 51 mm | 76 x 152 mm | | ### **3. Don't have a print-ready label file?** Use [**AWC Label Studio**](http://labels.amsterdamwarehouse.com), our free self-service tool. Enter your product name, SKU and barcode, pick one of our stocked label sizes, and download a print-ready monochrome PDF that meets all our requirements, no designer needed. ### 4. **Gift Boxes** If your VAL request includes gift box assembly, please provide: - Step-by-step instructions - Visuals (photos, sketches, or video) - Material details (type of cardboard, dimensions, printed elements) ### 5. **Communication** - Please provide a **contact person** on your end for approval and feedback. - Indicate in the form if a **sample is required**. - We will email the sample to the contact provided. ### **6. Shipping labels or materials to AWC?** Make sure to include the following on the shipping label: **Amsterdam Warehouse Company** **Attn: \[Your Company Name\] – VAL Labels** Slego 1a 1046 BM Amsterdam The Netherlands This helps us identify the shipment and link it to your VAL request without delay. Shipments without a clear reference may cause delays. **Reminder:** VAL instructions should **only** be submitted via the form. Instructions via email, checkout notes, or WhatsApp will not be processed. Your opinion is important to us! We consistently aim to offer you the most valuable information.
