Sample bag with card
Note that Fluid Life preprinted paper sample cards were phased out in Q3 2025. Customers who wish to use Fluid Life “sample cards”, they will receive sample cards preprinted on the outer white sample bag (see image below). Otherwise, new customers will receive the generic Fluid Life outer sample bag.
