Featured Custom Marketing Samples for Material-Driven Brands

Acme Sample produces a wide range of branded sample formats that help buyers and specifiers evaluate physical materials before making product decisions. For textile and upholstery programs, Acme Sample brings decades of experience as a fabric sample manufacturer. The same capabilities support broader work as a material sample manufacturer for wallcovering, leather, vinyl, and related materials.

Featured formats include:

  • Swatch Cards: Custom cards in single- or multi-panel formats, including island, die-cut overlay, feeler, and waterfall configurations.

  • Memos & Chain/Ring Sets: Portable material samples with custom sizing, edge treatments, labels, tags, rings, and chains.

  • Hanging Samples: Display-ready material samples with printed headers and hanging hardware for showroom, retail, and sales presentations.

  • Ring Pages: Retail-ready presentations that can combine larger feeler material with smaller color-reference swatches.

  • Waterfall Samples: Layered presentations that keep multiple colors or textures visible for easy comparison.

  • Wallcovering Samples: Custom-cut formats with options such as swatchcards, memo tagging, backprinting, and printed lifestyle imagery.

Whether a local startup or regional e-commerce company we can handle ‍ ‍Every Order. Every Item. Every Time.

Based in High Point, NC, Acme Sample serves companies nationwide as an experienced custom sample manufacturer, with a location well suited to brands across the United States. We work with material-driven B2B brands that need physical samples to support sales, sourcing, and product decisions. 

By combining custom sample manufacturing with commercial printing and ongoing inventory and fulfillment support, Acme Sample can help clients keep more of the sample program with one partner and reduce unnecessary handoffs.

Custom Sample Manufacturing

Every sampling program starts with the material and the vision of the way it needs to be presented. Acme Sample works with clients to develop custom fabric samples and other material presentations around the required format, size, layout, branding, and use.

Production options can be customized around the material and presentation format, including:

  • Pinked or straight-cut edges and overlocking

  • Fabric backing, labels, and tags

  • Grommets, eyelets, printed headers, and custom rings

  • Die-cut overlays and feeler swatches for applicable card formats

Other sample formats can also be configured around the collection being presented.

A dedicated project manager helps coordinate the project from initial requirements through production and related logistics.

Commercial Printing Services

Acme Sample provides on-site commercial printing services for the branded materials that support sample programs and broader sales efforts, including catalogs, brochures, custom packaging, and other presentation pieces. 

Keeping printing close to sample production can make it easier to coordinate branding, product information, and color across physical samples and printed pieces. Acme Sample also provides large-format printing for showroom and display applications.

Sample Inventory Management & Fulfillment

Sample programs often continue long after the initial production run. Acme Sample provides sample inventory management to store and track material and finished samples, support replenishment, and maintain stock levels for ongoing programs.

Sample fulfillment services can support order processing, kit assembly, and cut-to-order fabric programs, with shipments sent directly to the locations specified by the client. 

Broader fulfillment services, including 3PL support for qualifying products, are available as an extension of these capabilities. 

From Sample Program to Distribution

Acme Sample can support individual production needs or coordinate multiple stages of a larger sampling program:

  1. Define the program. Review the material, sample format, quantity, branding, and distribution requirements.

  2. Manufacture and print. Produce the custom sample and coordinate related printed components when needed.

  3. Manage inventory. Store materials or finished samples for ongoing use.

  4. Fulfill orders. Assemble, process, and ship samples to the locations specified by the client. 

This model gives B2B teams flexibility to use the services their program requires without separating related work among multiple providers.
