How to start your sample day booking

Send a message through our contact form with the main details for your project. Let us know your bottle’s material and shape, whether it’s glass, PET, or aluminium, and what finish you’re aiming for - gloss, matt, full-colour or a specific effect. Attach your finished print-ready artwork as a PDF or vector file. If you have a specific delivery or product launch date, add your timeline so the team can advise on what’s possible. Our machines are set up for local craft beverage bottlers, cosmetics lines, and promotional runs, with practical answers from people who know the floor.

Not sure if your bottle is suitable or need advice on compatible decoration systems before printing? Include a description or photo in your email, and the team will reply with clear guidance. Once we’ve checked your details, we’ll contact you to run through the sample programme, timings, and what to expect on the day.

After you email: What happens next

Once your enquiry lands at our contact form, someone from the floor reviews your bottle specs and artwork. You’ll get a response, usually within one or two working days, confirming if we have all the information needed or requesting more detail. For most sample bookings, we’ll set up a session at the Sunnyrock lab (2 Makro Place, Germiston) or, if it’s easier, on a regional floor closer to you. The focus is always on showing you exactly how our UV bottle decoration systems perform before you commit to production.

If you’re in Gauteng, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein or Polokwane, our regional floors mean you can often see or collect test prints without a long trip. For more details about finishes and compatible bottles, check our finishes and use-cases pages. No walk-ins - all visits are by confirmed booking.

Location and regional showrooms

Our main UV bottle printing lab is in Sunnyrock, Germiston at 2 Makro Place (inside the Astros Marketing facility). Most live sample days, operator training and machine testing sessions are run from this site. For teams based further out, we partner with regional print rooms in:

Ask in your email if you’d prefer to visit or collect at one of these spots. Demo availability depends on local team schedules, so booking ahead is essential.

What to include with your enquiry

Packing your email with the right info saves time and keeps the process practical. Make sure you include:

Any extra details - whether your brand's based on the Highveld or the coast, if you need to see how our inks hold up in Bloemfontein heat, or if your next batch is riding in municipal trucks. For operational questions and advice on preparing art or bottles, check our resources and journal notes.

Before your sample day: What you can expect

Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll lock in your slot and update you if there’s any load-shedding, public holiday or supply chain snag affecting dates. On your sample day, our operators will walk you through the set-up, run the agreed test prints and show you proof samples. We know the realities of Highveld dust, coastal humidity and handling during transit or shop stacking, so we focus on print durability.

If your team joins for the day, you’ll see how our Swiss-precise kit performs under real packing and shelf-handling conditions. Any questions, updates or planning for your next run can be tackled on-site or over email. For ongoing test orders and advice, all bookings and support stay on record at our contact form.
