Bus/Financial - Manufacturing / invitation to tender
French term or phrase: pré-document
This text specifies the requirements that a potential supplier of primary packaging, for cosmetics, is expected to comply with.

One section states the aesthetic requirements, and lists how the client might express the desired effect. Decorations might be expressed by means of 'un pré-document ou une zone à décorer'.

I consider this use of the 'pré-' prefix non-standard before a noun, and merely translating it with the equivalent prefix will be unhelpful to an English-speaking audience. Would anyone see a problem with 'preliminary document'?

first draft; preliminary (decorative) blueprint


Explanation:
I agree with a non-standard use.

Though a Larousse no-show, it is now a 'legit' term by being used, but possibly not for the first time in corporate jargon.

Prelim. doc. begs the question of preliminary to what ?

Also in the frame are:

1. A pre-contractual memorandum (e.g. evidence of a contract and not always properly understood as such by ProZ regulars who, of course, will eschew the schoolboy howler of a 'document for use in a meadow') and

2. a prelim. blueprint

Example sentence(s):
  • Check out our blueprint decor selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our prints shops.
