Abstract: A carpet sample system that provides a specification card useable alone, or in conjunction with a carpet sample, and a handle that can be used with a single carpet type or a large bundle. For knowledgeable customers, the specification card alone will provide a swatch of carpet and technical data, the cards being storable on a shelf. To display one type of carpet, a folded member will hold the card and carpet sample between the loose edges; and, a handle is provided at the opposite edge. To display several types of carpet, the folded member provides the same handle, while specification cards and carpet samples are held on each side of the handle. An index card can be provided, with a swatch of each type of carpet and appropriate legends. A backing sheet and compression block can make the large package more attractive.
