Tear Sheet

Category: business

A summary document provided by a manufacturer showing a product’s image, dimensions, finish options, and technical specifications.

Designers collect tear sheets to build "inspiration boards" for clients. It is the primary sales tool for furniture manufacturers, allowing the designer to quickly show the client the exact look and footprint of a proposed piece of furniture.

Common Examples

• I’ve attached the tear sheet for the dining table, detailing the four available wood stains and the custom metal base finish options.
• Designers rely on digital tear sheet libraries to quickly search through thousands of product variations during the preliminary project design phase.
