Company Profile

About Us

PHOENiX Sample manufactures physical color presentation tools for paint and coatings companies.

Printing heritage. Specialist manufacturing.

Our roots trace to a family printing house founded in 1906. Today, our work brings together real-paint sampling, color presentation design and the production of finished tools for customers in international markets.

From an approved color reference to a fan deck, chart or retail display, we help brands build samples around the decisions their customers need to make.

Products and services

Color Fan Decks

Custom fan decks for organized, portable presentation of paint and coating collections.

A deck should make it easy to find a shade, compare neighboring colors and identify the code used to order it. We design the leaf format, sequence and sample area around the collection and its intended users.

Coating layouts
Choose full-page or stripe-coated leaves according to the size of the collection and the area needed for shade comparison.
Custom construction
Specify leaf dimensions, covers, binding, coding and finishing to suit repeated handling.
Typical applications
Architectural paint ranges, professional specification tools and dealer collections.

Color Cards & Charts

Real-paint samples arranged for clear comparison in a format that fits the range.

A color chart brings multiple shades into view at once. Layout, backing and spacing help the reader compare related colors without losing track of names, codes or finish options.

Formats
Flat cards, foldouts, books, binders and wall charts for different viewing settings.
Sample layout
Group related shades, choose practical sample sizes and keep names and codes close to each sample.
Typical applications
Paint range launches, dealer desks, specification libraries and customer takeaways.

Special Effects Catalogs

Physical samples that communicate texture, sheen and decorative finishes.

Decorative finishes respond to lighting and viewing angle. The sample area and mounting method should allow people to see the surface character and compare options under suitable light.

Finish presentation
Select a format appropriate to metallic, textured or other decorative coatings.
Sample construction
Plan backing, sample size, mounting and page clearance around the finish.
Typical applications
Interior finish collections, showroom consultations and architectural specification.

Retail Color Chips

Individual coated chips organized for browsing and take-home comparison.

A useful retail chip connects a shade on the display to a physical sample the customer can compare in the intended space. Clear coding also supports replenishment and helps staff find the correct shade.

Chip format
Agree the dimensions, substrate, printed information and coating with the display in mind.
Retail identification
Keep color codes consistent across the chip, the display and the paint ordering system.
Typical applications
Paint counters, dealer networks and take-home shade selection.

Retail Displays

Color selection systems for showrooms, paint counters and dealer networks.

A retail display brings together sample visibility, clear navigation and practical restocking. We develop the structure around the range, available floor space and how customers approach the display.

Organization
Lay out color families and collection zones so customers can find and compare shades.
Components
Coordinate pockets, sample formats, graphics and replaceable parts where the project calls for them.
Deployment
Plan how the display fits the site, how it is replenished and how changes to the range are handled.

Design & Consulting

Planning support from the initial color brief through artwork and sample approval.

The design process connects the color collection to its physical presentation. We work through the audience, sample format, graphics and reference hierarchy before the specifications are released for production.

Collection planning
Structure color families and codes around the decisions the user needs to make.
Artwork & prepress
Coordinate graphics, labels and sample positions with format and production constraints.
Prototype review
Evaluate usability, sample construction and presentation before releasing the production design.

From Reference to Production

A defined sequence for translating an approved appearance into a finished sample.

  1. Agree the master Confirm the physical reference, intended finish, sample format and acceptance criteria.
  2. Develop and review the sample Prepare a prototype or pilot and evaluate the color, construction and artwork together.
  3. Convert and assemble Apply the agreed coating, then cut, finish, mount or bind the samples for the specified format.
  4. Release and pack Check the production samples against the agreed criteria and pack the tools for the intended distribution route.

Quality You Can Compare

Physical references, controlled viewing and documented acceptance criteria.

Application method, film build, substrate, illumination, gloss and texture can influence appearance. We review color against the approved physical reference and agree how the result should be evaluated for the intended product.

Reference
Identify the approved master and the conditions used to compare samples.
Measurement
Use instrument readings where they are relevant to the material and project criteria.
Visual review
Assess appearance and finish together with the measurements, using the agreed viewing setup.

Built for Use

Material, production and packaging decisions made at the project level.

A sample tool has a job to do throughout its service life. Choosing the right materials and construction for repeated use, planning production quantities and fitting packaging to the finished tool all help reduce avoidable waste.

Material selection
Review substrate, finish and construction in light of the expected handling and service life.
Production planning
Approve samples before the production run and plan formats and quantities around expected use.
Packaging
Choose protection and packaging based on the format, handling and distribution route.

Choose a Sample Format

Start with how your customer will use the sample, then choose a format that supports that decision.

Color Fan Decks
Comparing neighboring shades across a portable collection. Confirm leaf size, shade sequence and coating layout.
Color Cards & Charts
Seeing a group of shades together at a glance. Confirm how colors are grouped and the size of each sample.
Special Effects Catalogs
Evaluating texture, sheen and decorative finishes. Confirm the sample area, mounting and page clearance.
Retail Color Chips
Taking individual shades away to compare in the intended space. Confirm chip dimensions, coding and how stock is replenished.
Retail Displays
Helping shoppers browse and select colors at the point of sale. Confirm the footprint, capacity and how often the range changes.
