My prints came!! Pheeew, just in time! So, let's see let's see...
Overall I am very happy with my samples!! The paper is a thick cardstock, the printing crisp and beautiful, and the texture on the front is really nice - matte and soft, almost velvety more than a paper texture! The prints do come in a tube so I had to put them under some heavy books to flatten out a bit. But I assume most of my customers will want to frame them (they're nursery prints) so they might even skip this step. The cardboard tube is nice and sturdy, with a custom sticker with my logo on it - very cool! Inside, the prints are rolled into a sheet of white tissue paper, with an additional ball of tissue paper on each end so they can't move around. There's a little packing slip inside with my logo and details, my email address and a custom note I wrote (thank you for shopping, hope you like it, here's a coupon, blah blah blah). This all looks very nice and professional!
