Card Printing Samples & Custom Proofs
Feel the stock, check your artwork or test the box. Choose the proof that answers your next production question.
Bulk production from 1,000 complete sets. Sample availability, method, charges and delivery are agreed before sampling.
01 / Material reference
For choosing paper or PVC, thickness, opacity and surface feel.
Check: handling, shuffle feel and an available finish example.
Does not confirm: your artwork, exact print color or the final boxed set.
Send: product type and the materials or finishes you want to compare.
02 / Artwork proof
For checking your files before committing the full edition to print.
Check: text, front/back pairing, card count and artwork placement.
Physical checks: color and finish need an agreed printed proof; a PDF cannot show material feel.
Send: card size, artwork status, card list and any effect layers.
03 / Packaging proof
For checking how the finished contents fit, open and store together.
Check: deck height, booklet space, insert fit and sleeve allowance.
Does not confirm: final box printing or finishes unless included in the proof specification.
Send: every component, box idea and sleeve dimensions when relevant.
Cost & availability
What is included?
There is no automatic one-size-fits-all sample kit. Request the reference or proof your project needs.
| Stock references | Existing material or finish samples may be free when available. Courier charges are confirmed before dispatch. |
|---|---|
| Custom proofs | Chargeable. The quote identifies artwork, card quantity, stock, finishing, box components and sample method. |
| Method differences | A proof may use a different process from bulk production. Confirm what it can represent before approving it. |
| Revisions & delivery | Revision charges, preparation time and shipping are agreed before work starts. A sample request is not a bulk order. |

Agree the proof scope
Confirm the sample method, included components, limitations, cost and delivery destination.
Keep the approved reference
Record the file version and specification alongside the sample so later changes are explicit.
