Communicate

If there is one “Best-of-the-est” practices to impart, it is to communicate clearly to your co-workers and print providers what you have done and what you expect from them. While it may seem obvious to you why you did what you did to the project, it may be totally lost on them.

Create a notes file that accompanies the project. Explain what styles you have used, what the colors are supposed to be, what the layers contain, and why all the parts of the document are arranged the way they are.

Use these best practices as a guide, but don’t stop with them. There are plenty of other best practices that you will be able to come up with on your own.
