Frequently asked questions
VistaPrint offers 3 types of samples to help you make confident print decisions:
-
Sample kits are non-customizable, curated collections of products. They feature our professional, pre-printed designs. Available free or for a small fee, depending on the kit.
-
Pre-printed & blank samples are non-customizable individual orders. They feature our pre-printed designs or no design. Available free or for a small fee, depending on the product. Check out this page for more info.
-
Custom samples are individual orders with your own design, so you can see exactly what your finished product looks like before committing to a larger order. Available for a fee.
Shipping is free on all sample kits and pre-printed single samples. For customized single orders, standard shipping rates apply at checkout.
VistaPrint offers a variety of samples. The right one for you depends on where you are in your process:
Just starting out? Our sample kits show which products, materials and sizes work best for your business style and needs.
Ready to test a product? A pre-printed or blank sample lets you check dimensions and functionality before you design.
Design done and ready to proof? A custom sample validates your design, colors, and layout on the actual material – before you commit to a full order.
Not every product has a sample, but the samples on this page are designed to represent a variety of products, materials and finishes across our most popular categories. For products without a sample, you can usually order a smaller quantity, or find out what you need to know with our detailed images, info and size guides. And if you still have questions, our customer care team is always happy to help.
You don’t need an account to browse or order. But signing in saves your order history and sample designs – so you can easily reference what you've tried, and go straight to a full order when you're ready to scale.
