Business benefits of dedicated carpet sampling machines

Use carpet sampling machines to efficiently create small-scale versions of your carpets to showcase designs to potential clients, develop new designs, test new materials, and facilitate the production process.

Products
  • Physical samples address the colour accuracy limitations of computer monitors when showcasing their products to potential customers.
  • Samples are crucial for sales to wholesalers, retailers, hospitality, and big corporations, offering unique designs for large-scale projects.
  • Showcasing production quality samples allows buyers to see the final product before purchase.
  • Providing samples efficiently enhances sales opportunities and competitive advantage.
  • Stopping production machines for sample creation is impractical due to the cost and need for operational efficiency.
  • A dedicated carpet sampling machine can make samples without disrupting the main production machines.
  • The ability to quickly create and test new yarns, designs, and colours with a sampling machine is invaluable.
  • Carpet yarn manufacturers and masterbatch producers can use sampling machines to create yarn samples for testing and showcasing.
  • Presenting yarn as a pom or skein doesn’t accurately represent the final carpet look, leading to inefficient client approval processes.
  • Sampling machines allow yarn manufacturers to show yarn in a carpet form with a production-quality finish for quicker customer approval.
  • Carpet yarn and masterbatch producers use sampling machines to ensure quality, performance, and colour consistency in their yarn before customer delivery.
  • Samples made on a Modra machine will accurately replicate product made on a production machine.

"The Mtuft makes any gauge possible. A single package of yarn can produce a sample using a small amount of primary backing, therefore reducing wastage"
