Manufacturers

Market-ready programs on market deadlines. We work with furniture, textile, wallcovering, home decor, marine and other manufacturers.

Interior designers & showrooms

Presentation pieces designers actually want to carry, plus showroom fulfillment so the right samples land in the right hands without tying up your staff.

Marketing & brand teams

Custom sampling programs built to convert: swatch cards, mailer kits and direct-to-consumer fulfillment, built to your custom specifications.

No layers, no runaround. You get an experienced, dedicated project manager who knows materials and stays with your program.

Tell us the goal

Send specs or just a photo of what you have today. We'll tell you what's practical and what it costs.

Development

Once you're ready to move forward, send a master of your material for color and direction, your graphic details and any specifics for your program. We'll get your files to you for approval before we begin.

Production

Printing, cutting, mounting and assembly under one roof in High Point — with your color standards held.

Warehouse & ship

We drop ship your launches directly to your showrooms, or we inventory your samples and ship to reps, retailers or consumers as orders come in.
