RISK CONTROL BEFORE PRODUCTION
Tests and samples before production
For new materials, unusual products or larger orders a sample lets you check the result, reduce risk and make the call before full production.
The most expensive mistake is production without a test
The most expensive mistake isn't the sample. It's running a bigger series without checking material, setup and finish. For unusual projects a sample is a piece of risk control.
Typical situations where we sample
Unknown coating
Larger run planned
Premium product
New B2B client
Artwork variant test
Irregular shape
Heavy-wear product
When a sample is sensible
- ✓New material.
- ✓Unknown coating.
- ✓Premium product.
- ✓Larger run planned.
- ✓Durability requirements.
- ✓Product exposed to touch, moisture or abrasion.
- ✓Client wants to verify the visual result.
What we check in a sample
!
Adhesion
Whether the print or sticker plays well with the surface.
!
Visual result
How colour, size and position look on the real product.
!
Setup
Whether the product can be prepared stably and repeatably.
!
Risks
Whether there are constraints to account for before the larger series.
What to send for a test
- ✓2–3 product units if possible
- ✓Material info
- ✓Expected result
- ✓Artwork or logo
- ✓Target full-run quantity
- ✓Reference photo
- ✓Durability requirements
How a test or sample run works
- 01
You describe the product, the target run size and durability requirements.
- 02
We agree the scope of the test: one material, several artwork variants, or a technology comparison.
- 03
We produce the sample to the agreed parameters.
- 04
Together we assess the result: adhesion, colour, position, risks.
- 05
We document the findings and prepare a recommendation for production.
