Sample packs, colour references and material guides — so you can choose with confidence before you order.
Print decisions get easier when you can hold the material in your hand. A photo of “matte 350gsm card” on a screen tells you very little. A sample pack tells you everything. ExpressPrint accessories help you make the right print choice before committing to a full order.

The most expensive print mistakes happen when customers assume a material will look or feel one way and it arrives looking another. A sample pack costs a fraction of a wrong order and saves the time, money and frustration of reprinting.
Physical sample pack of common paper stocks and card weights. Feel the difference between matt and gloss, 300gsm and 350gsm, art card and uncoated paper — before you commit to printing thousands of pieces in the wrong material.
Printed CMYK colour reference chart showing how digital colour values translate to physical print. Essential for designers and brand managers who want to predict how their on-screen colours will appear once printed.
Physical corporate folder samples showing finishing options, paper weight and structural feel. Useful for businesses planning to order branded folders in bulk who want to confirm the finished product matches their expectation before ordering.
You do not always need to order samples first. But there are situations where the small upfront cost saves significant downstream regret.
When you have never ordered a specific product before — packaging boxes, premium business cards, hardcover booklets — a sample helps you set the right expectations on weight, finish and feel.
If you are about to commit to 5,000 corporate folders or 10,000 business cards, the cost of a sample pack is rounding error compared to the cost of a wrong bulk order. Sample first, order big later.
When the tactile experience matters — luxury brand packaging, premium real estate brochures, executive corporate folders — knowing exactly how the final product will feel is part of the brand decision, not a detail to leave to chance.
If you are torn between matt vs gloss lamination, 300gsm vs 350gsm card, or art paper vs uncoated paper — a sample pack lets you compare them side by side instead of guessing from product descriptions.
Designers and agencies preparing brand recommendations benefit from having physical material samples to show clients during proposal presentations. Tangible samples support the case for a particular finish or paper choice.
Screen colours never match printed colours exactly. A CMYK colour reference chart lets you cross-check critical brand colours before submitting artwork — particularly important for brand-mandated Pantone colours and corporate identity guidelines.
