Such as? I doubt that anybody but the design team has produced designs
for our swag and I wonder if something that was produced by the design
team needs an explicit approval from the very same team.

Incorrect colors are a problem indeed. We are facing it nearly every we
produce something, because most companies acceppt neither RGB nor CMYK
but want Pantone. Is there anything we can do about this?

Again, I am not aware of any swag design that did not come from the
design team. Maybe some new team members need better knowledge of the
guidelines or we need a more formal approval process there?
