Can you provide hard copy proofs before production?
Yes. Alongside the free online proof, many products offer a printed hard copy proof so you can hold a physical sample before the full run is produced.
| Proof type | What it is | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Online proof | Digital preview posted to your account | Free |
| Hard copy proof | A physically printed sample sent to you | $75 on most products; $150 for a multi-page book or a die-cut proof cut to shape |
Hard copy proof availability and cost depend on the product, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with support before ordering.
Hard copy proofs are offered on many products, not all; 3D lenticular products show only the online proof. Choose Hard Copy Proof when you order, or ask support to add it. Review and accept the free online proof first: the hard copy prints 1 to 2 business days later and ships by UPS 1 day shipping, which the price includes. A hard copy proof adds cost and time to your order.
The hard copy proof prints on the same stock as your final run, which helps with brand colors, photos and heavy ink coverage. You can also request one during a custom quote.
