Yes — Samtop provides custom material swatches and finish samples for every project to ensure visual approval before production begins.

Designing a display based on renders alone is risky — what you see on screen often differs from reality.
A glossy red could clash with your brand tone. A soft-touch finish may reflect harshly under store lighting. A material that looks fine in theory might scratch easily in practice.
At Samtop, we ship real-world finish samples and material swatches before mass production — giving your team confidence to approve, adjust, or pivot before it’s too late.
🎨 Why Samples Are Critical in Display Manufacturing
| Challenge | What Samples Solve |
|---|---|
| 🎯 Color mismatch | Check exact Pantone on real sprayed surface |
| 💡 Lighting distortion | Test gloss/matte/brushed effects under store lighting |
| 🧱 Material uncertainty | Feel actual weight, texture, flexibility |
| 🧑💼 Internal alignment | Get fast sign-off from brand + procurement + design leads |
📦 What Kind of Samples Can We Provide?
| Sample Type | Purpose | Typical Format |
|---|---|---|
| 🎨 Spray Panels | Visualize Pantone/brand colors | 5x5cm or 10x10cm labeled chip |
| ✨ Finish Variants | Compare matte / gloss / satin / brushed | MDF, metal, acrylic plates |
| 📐 Material Swatches | Feel weight, bend, clarity | PETG, acrylic, foamboard, vinyl |
| 🔦 Light Diffusion Test | Preview backlit surfaces | With/without LED samples |
| 🧵 Soft Wraps | Simulate faux leather, fabric, velvet | Labeled cut samples |
| 🔩 Hardware Mocks | Validate connectors, joints | 3D-printed, magnetic, CNC parts |
📮 We ship via DHL, FedEx, or SF Express globally.
