A compact set of physical PCB sample cards to compare board colours, surface finishes, and material behaviour side by side. It is aimed at developers, designers, makers, and anyone who wants a realistic impression of manufacturing options before ordering production boards.

Photos

SampleCard v1.0 boards in several solder mask colours; the front card shows the labelled reference areas.

Front and back of two boards (examples in red and yellow): silkscreen, bare substrate windows, exposed copper (ENIG), and copper under soldermask.

What each card shows

Each card includes labelled areas that illustrate typical PCB layers and processes:

• Silkscreen — legend / component print
• Bare substrate — no copper and no soldermask (front and back)
• Exposed copper — copper without soldermask
• Copper under soldermask — copper covered by mask

Together, these regions make differences in stack-up and finish easy to see and compare visually and by touch.

Where to buy

The manufactured sample card set is sold in the Blinkyparts shop:
