Now you can demonstrate your fragrance to your customers with test blotters bearing your company's name. We offer custom printing on our smelling stips in quantitites as low as 5,000 pieces. We print on 12 point blotter paper that offers excellent absorption. The six inch length allows you to spray one end and hold the end in front of your nose which your hand is well out of the way. (Experienced perfumers recommend holding the smelling strip horizontally, about 2 cm below the nose, and the hand itself off to the side rather than below.)

Order your own custom printed smelling strips

If, once you have used samples of our custom printed test blotters from our sample package (above), and you feel comfortable that they are suitable for your needs, you may be ready to order your own custom printed test blotters. Here's how to do it.

Step # 1 — Artwork

Before we can accept your job, we need to see your artwork to make sure it is suitable for our test blotters. Here are the specifications for creating artwork.

1. Finished Blotter size: 6 inches x 1/2 inch
2. Live area: 5-3/4 inches x 3/8 inch

   Your artwork must fit inside this area.
   We recommend that you limit your message to 3-1/2 inches by 3/8 inches to prevent ink from being sprayed with fragrance when your test blotters are used.

3. Color: one color, one side

   You can select your color using the PMS matching system, RBG matching, or a CMYK match.

4. Logos: line art only. No halftones or tints.
5. Contact Us to submit your artwork. We will give you instructions on sending your project to us. Be sure to indicate in your message that you want us to create custom test blotters for you.

Step # 2 — Payment

After we have reviewed and approved your artwork, please make your payment here.

PSS-201 ... 5,000 Custom Printed Test Blotters ... $495.00

NOTE: 1/2 of the amount due will be charged when you give us the OK to start your job. The balance and shipping will be charged when we are ready to make shipment.

Step # 3 — We deliver your job

Most jobs will be shipped within 3 weeks of the date on which your artwork has been approved. If we anticipate a delay, you will be notified. We understand that timing can be important to you and we endeavor to give you prompt delivery.

Thank you for considering us for your project!
