Question

Can I get a sample before ordering a large quantity?

Answer

Yes, you can request a physical sample before committing to a large run. Samples let you check the stock, color, and finish in hand so there are no surprises on the full order.

  • Contact 4OVER4 support and name the product you want to sample, such as business cards or a lenticular item.
  • Include your shipping address along with specifications like size, paper type, and finish; samples are typically sent by mail.
  • Free samples are available for some products such as business cards, though a sample fee may apply depending on the product.
  • A stock sample may feature a previously printed design rather than your own artwork; it is meant for judging material and finish. To review your specific file before a full run, ask about a hard copy proof instead.
  • For custom or first-time designs, prototype and pre-production samples or a small test run are available; ask the sales team about sample costs, turnaround, available materials and finishes, and the file specifications required.
  • Use the sample to confirm the material, thickness, color matching (such as edge painting or specific ink colors), and print quality before ordering in volume.
