How to Buy Rosco Products or Request a Swatchbook

Updated

Rosco's US site (us.rosco.com) does not appear to sell products directly — there is no visible cart, checkout, or listed pricing. Instead, the site routes buyers through two actions: a "Where to Buy" link that points you to resellers, and a "Request a Swatchbook" link for physical samples. Both are reachable from the product sections of the homepage. Before ordering anything, also check the site's regional notice, since products shown on the US page may not be available in your region.

Buying Rosco Products

Step 1: Identify the product you need

The site organizes products by category rather than by a single catalog page. Featured products on the homepage include:

  • X-Effects® LED Projectors – 5500K
  • Pica Cube™ 4C & 4CA
  • Roscolux
  • Adagio® Vapour Fog Machine

A "VIEW ALL PRODUCTS" link sits alongside these featured items if you want the full range. Product detail pages are linked from each item (the homepage uses "Product Details" links under its featured stories and products).

Step 2: Use "Where to Buy"

The "WHERE TO BUY" link is the site's purchasing path. Because no prices or payment options are published on the site, expect this to direct you to authorized dealers or distributors rather than a direct checkout. Have your product name and, if relevant, your region ready — the site notes that products on the page may not be available in your region, so confirm availability with the dealer.

Step 3: Confirm regional availability

The homepage carries an explicit notice: "Products on this page may not be available in your region." If you are buying from outside the US, check this before committing to a specific product, since the US site's lineup may differ from what your local distributor stocks.

Requesting a Swatchbook

The "REQUEST A SWATCHBOOK" link appears next to "Where to Buy" in the same call-to-action area. This is the route for physical color samples — useful if you are choosing gel colors, filters, or other color-critical products and need to see them in person rather than on screen.

Practical notes:

  • Request the swatchbook before finalizing a large order if color accuracy matters for your project.
  • The site does not state cost or shipping terms for swatchbooks, so treat the request as an inquiry and confirm details through the form or your dealer.

What the Site Does and Doesn't Tell You

Question What the site shows
Can I buy directly on us.rosco.com? No cart or checkout is visible; purchasing goes through "Where to Buy"
Are prices listed? No pricing is published on the page
Can I get physical samples? Yes — via the "Request a Swatchbook" link
Will the product ship to me? Unconfirmed — the site warns products may not be available in your region

Choosing Your Path

  • If you know exactly which product you want: start with "Where to Buy" and confirm stock and regional availability with the dealer.
  • If color or material choice is still open: request a swatchbook first, then order through a dealer once you've matched samples to your project.
  • If you're outside the US: check regional availability before either step, since the US catalog may not match local supply.
