Sample books are a way to gather and display samples of products. They make it possible to professionally showcase particular product line options when a variety of colors, textures, pattern and finishes is available. Sample books allow the customers to visualize the product, closely examine it, and decide whether they want to make a purchase.
Types of sample books
All high quality sample books for companies are made of reinforced solid cardboard and are capable of holding samples of any kind. They can be filled with die-cut foam in order to hold the samples in place both for their safety and better organization. There are various types of sample books. The most popular are sample binders, sample suitcases or boxes, and sample fan decks or charts.
Sample binder
Sample binder is a structure consisting of two or more solid cardboard sheets with glued foam that protects the samples and allows to present them in a clear and comfortable way.
Sample suitcase / Sample box
Sample suitcases and boxes are a type of a chest in which samples can be placed. They use stabilizers made of technical foam and have a rigid structure with a lid.
Sample fan deck / Sample charts

Which industries make use of sample books?
Sample books are mostly used in the interior design industry. They are especially common among paint, wallpaper, floor, carpet and curtain manufacturers. Sample books are also used by furniture, and doors and windows developers.
The application of sample books
Sample books allow the client to touch and feel the product before purchase and help them make a more informed purchasing decision. They are invaluable when it comes to choosing wallpapers, flooring carpeting, upholstery fabric and trims, as well as window treatments and wall tiles. Sample books enable a visual presentation of all available patterns, colors, and textures, which facilitates the selection of specific projects and speed up the material matching procedure.

Why is it worth investing in a sample book?
Sample books help demonstrate a merchandise and allow an in-person review of a product. The clients can judge the quality of the goods, feel the difference between samples, and see a true representation of the colors in different light, all of which is impossible with digital catalogs. Sample books enable manufacturers to present their products in the most favorable way, attract the attention of the customers, and, consequently, make a sale. They effectively boost sales, which is what makes them a good, profitable investment.
