What is a client-exclusive brand library?

It is a private file that holds every approved artwork, CMYK profile, dieline and version history for one client. Only your account team at FOB Auto Parts can edit it - your library is never reused for another buyer.

Why does it matter for reorders?

Two years later, when you reorder or update a design, you get back the exact file with the exact CMYK values and the exact dieline. No reinterpretation, no colour drift, no charge for re-setup.

How long do you keep brand library files?

Indefinitely, for as long as we ship for your account. Files are version-controlled, backed up and tied to a unique design number so audit claims can be resolved against the original artwork.

Can I update a logo or colour over time?

Yes. Each update is filed as a new version, with the previous artwork preserved. That means older stock remains traceable, and new stock matches the latest brand identity without losing history.

Is the library confidential?

Yes. Brand libraries are confidential records. They are not shared with other FOB Auto Parts clients, and access is limited to the account team handling your business.

Client-Exclusive Brand Libraries

For distributors running a private-label programme, continuity is currency. The moment your fuel-filter colorbox looks slightly different between the 2024 shipment and the 2026 shipment, a wholesaler asks a question —and questions cost sell-through.

At Fob Auto Parts, every package we produce is filed inside the customer's own private brand library, indexed by:

Brand
Product category
SKU
Market / region

A fuel-filter colorbox for one overseas distributor sits under its own library; a clutch-pump colorbox for another partner sits under a completely separate one. No cross-contamination, no shared files, no accidental design bleed.

The two-year test

Two years from now, when a customer wants to reorder or update a design, we do not start from a blank canvas. We:

Open the exact source file —Illustrator / CorelDraw / PDF, versioned.
Respect the exact CMYK values —same Pantone match, same printer profile.
Quote against the exact dieline —same box dimensions, same paperboard grammage, same finish.

This continuity is invaluable for distributors building a house brand across multiple regions: it protects consistency, and it makes reorders effortless.

Design Draft Encyclopedia —Filed by Client

Every packaging job is filterable by design number, product category, client, brand, designer and current handler.

What this replaces

Compare this to the typical alternative:

Traditional supplier	Fob Auto Parts
"Can you resend the artwork?" (client hunts)	Design pulled by SKU in seconds
Colour drift on reorder	CMYK values locked in library
Dieline redrawn each time	Dieline reused from library
Multiple designers touching your brand	One brand library, versioned

For distributors, the brand library is not a nice-to-have —it is the reason your house brand still looks like a house brand three years in.
