Materials catalog for $45 (not $398)!
Although a picture can tell a thousand words, you can’t beat holding the real thing in your hands to know what you’re really going to get. And to set the creative juices flowing.
Get the entire catalog delivered
So we’ll be making available all 48 current materials (card, fabrics, plastics, timbers and metals), each with various depths of engraving so you can see and feel the difference, at a very special rate.
If you wanted to do this yourself, you could order a P1 size of each of these materials, and pay $398. Not very nice. So we’re making our full materials catalog swatch available to everyone for just $145. And as a Prime member you’ll be able to get it for $85.
For a special launch price … Every Prime member will get the lot for a one time only price of $45!

So I REALLY want one of these catelogues, and do you think I can find out where to click to buy one? I don’t think I am a dummy but it just beats me…

Does this include shipping or will that be on top of the $45?
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Is that $45 in US dollars or in NZ dollars?

Pricing is US$45 + shipping (new rates). All details will be announced next week.

hmmm. i am wondering if you guys already sent the mail with the link! it’s way past 6:59pm NZT on my watch..

Just a quick question. Does the NZ Material Sample Kit include for instance all the black acrylic thicknesses (3.0 mm, 4.5 mm and 6.0 mm) or just one thickness. So are there 48 materials in the kit in all their thicknessess or just each material in one thickness (if so, which thickness?).

Hi Sue and Troy - we have sent the email now. (The timeframe indicated the cut off date for qualification for the offer, not when the offer was to go live). For the US sample kit go here: http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/Ponoko/usa-material-sample-kit-3004 and the NZ sample kit go here: http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/Ponoko/nz-material-sample-kit-2999

Hey - just one thickness. This thickness varies from one sample to the next - but typically it’s the thinnest one. This is so we could make the price as low as possible. And because the sample kit is about the look and feel of each material, plus how it engraves and cuts (rather than the thickness).

I am wondering if it is possible to pick up the material sample kit? Seems like I have to choose a shipping option..
May 26th, 2009 at 5:03 am
Great idea. Just order it through the site and we’ll let you know when to come and pick it up. We’ll include a shipping charge refund in the package you pick up.

If we signed up to be a Prime member in time (dates listed above), can we still get these samples for $45?
I didn’t see a statement limiting the time period to purchase these samples.
