A 140-color fan deck for a Germany-based construction paints customer, approved in the first matching round and produced in several-thousand-unit quantities.
PROJECT CASE STUDY · GERMANY
140-Color Fan Deck Manufacturing for Germany
PHOENiX Sample delivered a 140-color fan deck for interior construction paints to a customer based in Germany. The project combined a broad collection of shades with a production quantity of several thousand units.
The entire color set was approved at the first matching submission. Following delivery, the customer placed a repeat fan deck order, extending the business relationship beyond the original production run.

TECHNICAL CHALLENGE
Consistent Color Presentation Across 140 Shades
A multi-shade fan deck for interior construction paints must make it easy to compare neighboring colors, while preserving a reliable and consistent visual reference throughout a large manufacturing run.
Customer-Specific Quality Requirements
The Germany-based customer had specific expectations for the appearance and consistency of the final fan deck. The project involved matching and presenting 140 shades in a single organized color system.
The project was produced against the customer’s supplied approval requirements. The complete range passed the first submission. This is a documented project outcome; no unspecified DIN/ISO certification or numerical color tolerance is implied.

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY & CONTINUITY
International Delivery and Continued Cooperation
Delivery was arranged under DAP (Delivered at Place) terms to the agreed destination in Germany. This shipping term defines delivery responsibilities; it does not by itself determine customs exemptions.
Egypt–EU preferential origin arrangements can support eligible exports, subject to the applicable rules of origin and supporting documentation. These commercial and customs considerations are distinct from the product’s color approval result.
Customer Confidence Reflected in a Repeat Order
After the initial several-thousand-unit program, the customer placed a further fan deck order. The repeat business shows continuity of the color presentation program with the Germany-based customer.
