GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English to Swedish translations [PRO]
Retail / clothing
English term or phrase: fit and finish
Context: (From a manual for store managers) "Merchandising A.T.L fits and finishes in a visible and prominent location will ensure [..] consumers can easily link advertising to the product available in store"
ATL is a promotional campaign.
From the same manual: "Can the fit / finish hung on the gate be found on the shelves underneath?"

detaljpresentation
Explanation:
This term is used in many contexts, from software GUI to arts& crafts to homebuilding to advertising presentations.
It refers to the many small details that result in the whole.
Alternative translations might be :
översiktspresentation

As it is one of those types of idioms, I almost think I would use the original term "fit and finish" even in the translation, supplying (översiktspresentation) as a translation in the first instance.
