Single Sample Sheets – 8.5" x 11" Professional Testing
Choosing the right paper is a tactile experience. Whether you are finalizing wedding invitations, prototyping a new product label, or testing a specialized photo finish, our sample sheets allow you to experiment without the investment of a full pack. Each sample is pulled directly from our premium production stock, ensuring the sheet you test is exactly what you will receive in your final order.
How to Use Your Sample Sheet
- The "Plain Paper" Pre-Test: Print your design on standard copy paper first and hold it up against the sample sheet to check your alignment.
- Media Settings: If testing glossy or textured paper, try both "Photo" and "Cardstock" settings on your printer to see which delivers the best ink saturation.
- Structural Integrity: If the product is pre-scored, test the fold to see how the paper fibers and your ink react to the crease.

We strive to offer samples for most cardstocks and specialty papers. Some multi-part kits or high-count bulk items may not be available as single sheets.
