Why Create Samples?
Artelo makes it easy to try out our products before offering them to your customers. Samples let you:
Reflect the final customer experience – Match the products your customers will receive by using the same artwork, dimensions, paper types, and framing options.
Add branding for the full effect – Include your custom packaging inserts and stickers to simulate the unboxing experience.
Compare paper types – Create the same design on multiple papers to see which best represents your brand.
Test frame options – Sample different frame colors, materials, or styles.
Show variety – Order a range of your best designs in different configurations.
How do free samples work, and what are production credits?
We often provide production credits to new customers so they can try samples with no risk. Credits can be used to order any framed or unframed products in Artelo. They’re manually added to your account and automatically applied at checkout.
If you’re interested in receiving credits, contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss options.
