Fan decks are an excellent way to organize and showcase a large textile collection. They can be customized so that fabrics are presented to their best advantage and shoppers can easily compare colors and textures. Fan decks are constructed so that they “fan” out for best viewing. Clients are able to feel the fabric samples and evaluate aspects such as weight, color, and texture for themselves. Professional fan decks are easy to display in the showroom, and their compact sizes require less space to store when not needed.

A sample book is a way to gather and display a number of pieces of fabric, wallpaper, etc. so that customers can closely examine the product and choose what to buy. It is a convenient way to professionally showcase particular product line options that may be available in various colors, textures, patterns, or finishes. A sample book is typically bound or fastened at one edge. People often browse through sample books when choosing upholstery fabrics and trims, window treatments, carpeting, and wallpaper. The client is actually able to touch and feel the product via the sample book. This helps people make a more informed buying decision.
