The Swatch Book

The Swatch Book is a free set of board, wrap and finish samples, so you can hold the materials before you choose one. Request it through the quote form, and name any materials you are deciding between.

Why hold the material first

A screen cannot show you how soft-touch feels against matte, how kraft dulls a color, or how much stiffer 24pt is than 18pt. Those are the choices that change how a box reads in the hand, and they are cheaper to settle before the proof than after it. Every material in the Swatch Book has a page in the materials library with what it is good at and where it fails.

What to ask for

Tell us what the box is for and which materials you are weighing, for example soft-touch or matte lamination on 18pt SBS, or linen or matte art paper on a rigid box. If a delivery date matters, say so in the request and the team will confirm what is possible.

A sample of your actual box

The Swatch Book shows materials, not your structure. For your exact size, a physical prototype is available on request, with timing confirmed in the quote. A printed sample is possible on request too.
