3. Sampling
Before committing to a full order, you may want to see samples of our work. This allows you to evaluate the quality and make informed decisions about customizations. We offer three types of samples to cater to your needs: Stock Product Samples, Previous Project Samples, and Fully Finished Samples.
Stock Product Samples
We can send samples of our stock notebooks when available. These samples allow you to see the quality and feel of our ready-to-brand products. If we have the stock available, these samples are free of charge. This is a great option if you need to quickly assess the standard materials and finishes we offer.
Previous Project Samples
Our sample room houses thousands of examples from previous jobs. We can often send you samples that match some or all of the customizations you require, including cover material, cover color, binding, and specific customization options like debossing or foiling. These samples help you see real-world applications of our customization capabilities. Generally, these samples are free of charge, but occasionally, we may request that they be returned after review.
Fully Finished Samples
If you want a sample of your specific notebook design, we offer fully finished samples at a cost of £250/$250. This fee covers machine setup and tooling costs. The printing for these samples will typically be digital unless otherwise stated or required. For full production orders, we use offset printing to ensure the highest quality. This option is ideal for those who want to see an exact replica of their customized notebook before proceeding with a large order.
