I got a basic colour one off mdp but it got misplaced when we moved premises. A few yrs ago Grafityp used to give a sample pack of various colours but not sure they do it any more,we use there flex occasionally but its only when we need to order sign vinyl or something from them that they only supply.
We have some cut offs like you Adam but the lads keep forgetting which supplier the flex came from and never think to put a note on the back,where with a colour swatch from supplier as we get from sign vinyl suppliers for sign vinyls like 3M and Mactac.
Also we can track where flex is from plus keeps colour match for repeat orders as fluory pink xp3016 has different shade to mdp fluory pink flex,this we found out recently as had a dance school who have pink on there tops and without realising the lad used the 2 different flex's on half a dozen tops.When he went to show the customer he noticed a shade difference so out came the flex remover for him and a large coffee n cream cakes for customer while they waited.

letsgo, cork wallboard, clip off cut on, with marker pen write who its from, your like me, i use 2 main suppliers and the shades differ, so now have the wallboard, i also use an address book, i put the customer name, the size of the slogan/logo i cut for them, and where on the garment it goes, also what vinyl i have used on the job - that way if hubby is cutting then he knows exactly what to cut for that customer

We don't yet have a colour swatch but it is something we re thinking of putting in place. In the meantime, we're happy to send out colour samples on request.
