Do I offer samples - yes! "Tell me more," you say? I will.
I do offer a physical sample on a few items - there are also some items that I don't. If you're checking out a print product on the site, scroll down to the bottom, and there is a grey section (under the FAQ section) with the heading "Need a sample?" - if you DON'T see that, I don't offer samples for that product. And as I'm sure you can put together, if you DO see it there, I DO offer it!
Some stuff like stickers or yard signs, it's tricky to do one-off prints of.
A little detail on the samples that I do offer. They're $5 per design. They are not cut down to size. They will be printed on the paper that you select, and set up for print - meaning they could have trim marks.
Soft Proof
As an alternative - if you would like a "soft proof" - that is a digital mockup of your print, just to get an idea of what your final product might look like... I'm happy to do that for free! Just let me know in your special instructions that you'd like a soft proof.
When an order comes in and is requesting a proof like this, the order will not start its printing journey until the customer has approved the proof. I'll send a file over for you to look at - I'll also include notes if anything looks funny or needs help. Then, you'll have the option to APPROVE or REQUEST CHANGES. If you APPROVE it - off we go! But, if you REQUEST CHANGES, then we go back to the drawing board. I might need to make the changes on my end, or you on yours - there is a spot for you to add notes or upload a new file as well. Whenever you're happy with the changes - ACCEPT the proof, and we're on our way!
