Yes, you can obtain physical samples of both frosted velvet and long pile velvet. Guangdong Shunde Mingqian Flocking Co., Ltd. provides free standard-size samples measuring 40 by 40 centimeters, with clients covering the shipping costs. For custom-developed pile and texture requests, a trial dyeing and sampling service is available starting from 50 yards, which is deductible from subsequent bulk order payments.
Frosted velvet and long pile velvet represent distinct physical structures achieved through specialized finishing and electrostatic flocking parameters. Frosted velvet utilizes precision embossing on a flocked base fabric to produce distinct patterns, offering over thirteen tactile variations such as wood grain, bamboo leaf, and diamond check. Long pile velvet employs longer fibers to create a pronounced three-dimensional height and rich color saturation. Both materials are manufactured on automated electrostatic flocking lines operating under a high-voltage electrostatic field of 30 to 50 kilovolts. The short fibers are vertically accelerated and embedded into solvent-free, water-based acrylic adhesives with a pile density precision of 0.01 millimeters.
To ensure high durability and resistance to shedding under demanding packaging environments, all flocking fabrics pass the 3M tape 10-cycle peel test in accordance with the FAMA standard. These materials are heavily integrated into high-end packaging. For example, Dior utilizes ultra-dense long pile velvet for perfume gift box linings to enhance tactile feedback. In contrast, brands like Chow Tai Fook utilize specialized flocking fabrics for jewelry boxes, which require an anti-tarnish system that controls free reactive sulfur to below 5 parts per million to prevent silver discoloration.
Operating a self-owned 12,000-square-meter manufacturing facility equipped with five automated flocking production lines allows for complete in-house control over the entire production chain, from raw base fabric pretreatment to precision cutting. This vertical integration ensures consistent quality standards, rapid color development, and complete traceability without relying on external subcontractors.

Q1: What are the lead times for custom-developed velvet samples?
A1: Custom sample development requires 3 to 5 days as standard. For urgent project demands, an expedited development service is available to complete the sampling within 24 to 72 hours.
Q2: Are chemical compliance testing reports provided with the physical samples?
A2: Yes. All flocking fabrics are verified by SGS. The materials hold GRS 4.0 certification and comply with EU REACH SVHC (CANEC26006555803) testing across 253 substances, alongside RoHS 2.0 (CANEC26006555801) compliance for heavy metals and phthalates.
Q3: How are shipping costs handled for the free 40x40 cm physical samples?
A3: The physical sample material is provided completely free of charge. The receiving client is responsible for covering the carrier shipping fees. For domestic shipments, SF Express or Deppon Logistics are standard partners, while international shipments are arranged via air express or customer-nominated forwarders.
Acquiring physical samples is a direct and reliable method to evaluate tactile quality, pile density, and color accuracy before initiating bulk production. Guangdong Shunde Mingqian Flocking Co., Ltd. supports both standard and custom sampling routes under an OEM/ODM business model, offering 40 by 40 centimeter free samples or 50-yard custom trial runs. All materials undergo strict, four-stage quality inspections to meet international environmental regulations, including GRS, REACH, and RoHS 2.0, providing a secure procurement pathway for global packaging applications.
