Specs
Spares Bridge specs
Spares Bridge specs record the exact carry-over details for repeat decals, replacement marks and missing kit items. The page is used to match the first run before any refill artwork or packing list is signed off.
Carry-over details from first run
Spares Bridge specs list the parts, material matches, and order details used for refill and replacement branding items. It helps buyers check exactly what must carry over from the first production run.
List each part by position, size and material so the refill piece matches what is on the shopfront now. Include whether the original was gloss vinyl, matt vinyl, cut lettering, printed sticker stock or a rigid branded panel, especially where colour density and edge finish must stay the same.
A clear photo of the installed item matters as much as the file name. It shows scale against frames, glazing bars, clip strips or fascia joins, and helps identify if the spare must follow an older trim line or a revised fitment from the previous order.
Details buyers should receive
The spec sheet should name the part code, quantity, finished size and fixing method for every replacement item. Buyers also need the original branch or rollout reference noted so top-up packs do not mix parts from two different store versions.
Tie the refill request back to the original job notes before stock is booked. Check artwork version, colour call-up, laminate choice and pack count, then send the part code through the contact form with a note on any visible damage or missing section.
- Part codes matched to existing graphics set
- Installed photos checked against original sizing
Site conditions affecting spare items
Replacement branding for Gauteng, Durban and Cape Town branches often lands on surfaces that have aged since the first fitment. Older adhesive lines, faded panels, sun-struck window bands and repainted fascias can all change how a spare must be cut, finished or packed.
Coastal stores may need material checks for salt exposure and stronger attention to edge lift on window vinyl. Inland sites usually need dust and chalky substrate checks before installation, while mall trading hours and power cuts can affect when replacement packs are fitted and photographed.

Records to keep with refills
Use Spares Bridge when a store needs top-up decals, replacement marks or missing pieces to complete an existing graphics set.
Keep the Spares Bridge sheet with the purchase order, artwork proof and material record for that branch. When a buyer asks for one missing decal or a top-up pack months later, those notes show exactly what must be reproduced and what should stay unchanged from the first production run.
