Special Effect & Texture Sample Catalogs
Show the character of decorative coatings through tactile sample catalogs, combining real textures, finishes and application ideas in practical formats for your brand.
Special Effects Catalogs
Special finishes need to be experienced, not merely described. PHOENiX Sample develops tactile catalogs that help customers see and compare decorative effects, wood-look finishes, exterior coatings, textures, sheen, and other surface characteristics through physical samples prepared for the project.
Special Effects Catalog Formats & Applications
Catalog structure, sample dimensions, materials, application methods, labeling, and presentation can be developed around the finish system so the final tool communicates both the visual character and the physical quality of the collection.
Catalogs can bring together decorative effects, wood finishes, and exterior coating collections in one organized presentation. Each sample can be developed to help customers understand not only color, but also texture, sheen, and the overall appearance of the final finish.
Inside the factory, trained technicians at PHOENiX Sample can reproduce a wide range of special finishes using dedicated application tools and techniques. We can also work from customer references or original decorative materials to create customized catalogs and folders tailored to each collection.
