Demo Patches: Upon request, we can supply wholesale customers with what we refer to as “Demo Patches”. Sections of patch seconds culled during the production process for various cosmetic reasons. These can be used for passive or active customer demos. Though, in most cases, demo patches are not large enough to be effective for use, they can be used to adequately demonstrate scent and adhesion, as well as, for sensitivity testing.

Note: Replace regularly, if left exposed to lighting and air, for extended periods, as degradation of the scent and adhesive properties may occur.
