Coating Film Sample Boards: Label Gloss, Satin and Matte Separately

A sample board should preserve the identity of each film finish. Similar colours can hide important differences in permitted products and appearance.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Label the film, coating, preparation and application date on each sample. Keep an untreated reference where appropriate.

A salesperson may otherwise demonstrate a glossy-film result while answering a buyer's matte-film question.

Decision limits

Do not use one attractive sample as evidence for every finish in the range.
