Test it yourself before you buy! Our only goal at SBE is to ensure you are satisfied with the products you have ordered from us — your satisfaction is very important to us. This is why we have made our free sample and loan policy standard across almost all our product ranges.

Why such a sample and loan policy?

This policy of providing samples and loans has been a hallmark of SBE since the company’s beginnings, and it has proven effective in maximizing customer satisfaction for over 20 years. We have now made this policy standard on the SBE Direct website. As you browse through our product ranges, you will see how easy it is to create a cart with your sample and loan requests.

Of course, all of this is free, including fast courier delivery to your location — it is part of our customer service, which we aim to keep at the highest possible level.

We also strongly encourage you to compare our products in real-life tests with those of our competitors, if possible. Sometimes, two products with (almost) the same name can be very different in reality — and you may be surprised!

Especially test our labels and adhesives for guaranteed satisfaction

Our sample policy mainly applies to the labels and other adhesive products we offer here. Given the variety of adhesives, applications, and surfaces, it is often best to test the products dedicated to your application in real-life conditions — especially if your needs are specific — before starting production.

Even though we provide as much technical information as possible about our products, nothing can replace a real-life trial. For customized products, the samples sent to you will be identical to those produced for other customers.
