A useful sample request tells the supplier what to send, how to identify it, why it will be tested and how it differs from proposed bulk production. “Send your best roll” produces an untraceable demonstration.

Protect identity after delivery
Photograph parcel and roll labels before testing. Keep a retained sample. A stock, hand-prepared, pilot and normal-production roll support different conclusions. Use the sample test checklist after receipt and YIYUAN's product range to fill the requested dimensions.
