Question

Can I get a sample before ordering a large quantity?

Answer

Yes. A physical sample before a large run lets you check stock, color, finish and fit in hand. Contact 4OVER4 support and name the product, such as business cards or a lenticular item.

  • Include your shipping address and specs such as size, paper type and finish; samples are typically sent by mail.
  • The free sample kit holds 50 printed finish samples in business-card size, such as foil, Soft Touch, Spot UV and 3D lenticular. It ships free by USPS to US addresses, most arrive in 5 to 7 business days, and it has no large format pieces.
  • A stock sample may show a previously printed design. To review your own file before a full run, ask for a hard copy proof.
  • For custom or first-time designs, prototypes, pre-production samples or a small test run are available; ask sales about cost, turnaround, materials and file specs.
  • Use the sample to confirm material, thickness, print quality and sizing, and to compare color against existing materials, such as edge painting or specific ink colors. Color matching is not guaranteed.

To hold your own design, choose the Hard Copy Proof at checkout on products that offer it: $75 on most products, $150 for multi-page books or die-cut to shape. You can also order a small quantity of the same product as a test run before the full order.
