Choose the Right Options with a Physical Sample Pack
Request a sample pack based on the type of card product you plan to manufacture. Samples are free — you only pay shipping. We prepare representative cardstock, finished cards, special-effect samples, and packaging samples so you can compare materials, finishes, and packaging options in person before placing a bulk order.

We'll completely refund your sample pack shipping fee when you proceed with your production order. Consider it our investment in your project's success.
Tell Us What You Need to Compare. You do not need to choose an exact finished card. Select the production characteristics that matter to your project, and our team will match representative samples from current stock.

Compare card thickness, stiffness, core structure, surface feel, and handling before production.

Compare coatings, laminations, textures, handling characteristics, and decorative effects on real finished cards.

Compare different box structures, materials, protection methods, and retail presentation before finalizing your packaging.
