Include it in your material brief.
Complete your specification
Define what your project needs.
The catalog describes performance directions. These purchase-specific details are confirmed through stock selection or custom development.
Dimensions & backing
Specify target thickness, usable width and backing preference. Fixed dimensions and tolerances are not listed in the catalog.
Quantity & timing
Share your estimated volume and target date. Stock availability, MOQ, development timing and production lead time are confirmed per enquiry.
Samples & reports
Match the sample to your color, finish, application and test requirements. Ask for documentation for the selected specification.
Common questions
Before you
request a sample.
Can I evaluate the material before ordering?
Start with a sample request. Share your application, preferred tones and the details you need to evaluate, so the sample discussion reflects your project.
How do I discuss minimum quantities and lead times?
Choose Ready Stock or Custom Development and share your quantity and target date. The catalog does not publish fixed MOQs or lead times; these depend on the specification and availability. You can also choose “Still evaluating”.
Which technical information should I include?
Include your application, thickness, width, backing, exposure and cleaning routine, plus any abrasion, colorfastness or flame-resistance requirements. Select the relevant priorities in the enquiry form.
Can I discuss distribution in my market?
Use the material partner route and share your market, customer base and areas of interest to begin a partnership discussion.
