Samples

Touch the paper before you commit.

Photos don't carry weight or feel. We ship physical samples on request so you can hold the bag, test the handle, and check how your artwork lands on the stock you have in mind.

How sampling works

Two ways to put the bag in your hands.

We send catalog samples for everyday styles and produce short proof runs when a custom job needs colour or finish sign-off before full production.

Catalog samples

One of each catalog style, shipped within a week.

Pick the styles that look closest to what you need. We send unprinted examples in your nearest sizes so you can compare paper weight, handle feel, and finishing in person. Shipping costs are typically recoverable against any first production order.

Branded proofs

A short proof run for custom branded jobs.

For branded retail and campaign work, we can produce 25–50 finished bags to your spec before locking in the full run. This is the moment to confirm colour accuracy, registration, and handle attachment — adjustments here cost a fraction of what they would in full production.

Lead times

A working week for catalog, two to three for proofs.

Catalog samples leave our floor within 3–5 working days. Branded proof runs typically take 10–14 working days from artwork approval, depending on finishing requirements.
