Structural Sample and Print Proof
Digital Print Proof
We offer 2D digital print proofs as a way for you to check the artwork to be printed. These are printed using a digital printer and allows you to see whether any adjustments need to be made with your artwork prior to going into production. In production, we match the colors produced to the print proof.
- Available in: CMYK colors only.
- Not available in: white ink and Pantone colors.
Structural Samples
We offer blank, unprinted structural samples for you to test the size and structure of your box or packaging. If you want to see how your products will fit inside your packaging, this is the best way to do so.
These blank box samples are made using sampling machines, and do not have any print, finishes, nor coating on them. Because the purpose of these blank boxes or packaging is to test the size/structure, the quality of these structural samples are not production-grade. You might find these boxes harder to fold and may see small tears in the paper, but that is normal for structural samples.
*A dieline for display boxes and custom box inserts can be provided as part of our structural design service.
Refunds: Structural sample fees can be refunded if the production order is the same specification as the structural sample. Refund terms for each structural sample:
Simplified Samples
A Simplified Sample is a printed sample your packaging in CMYK (no Pantone or white ink) and does not include any finishes (e.g. matte/glossy).
Its main purpose is to visualize how your packaging would look when produced, but is not the exact production-grade quality you will receive. These samples are made with our sampling machine, so you may notice that the print quality isn’t as sharp, it isn't as sturdy or easily foldable, and there may be small tears or cracks at the fold and crease lines. The purpose of these samples are for you to test the size of the box with your products, and visualize what it would look like with your print.
Note: Simplified Samples are not available for rigid boxes. If you require a printed rigid box sample, please enquire about a pre-production sample.
Refunds: Simplified Sample fees can be refunded if the production order is the same specification as the Simplified Sample. Refund terms for each Simplified Sample:
Pre-production Sample
A pre-production sample is the exact packaging you'll receive when mass produced. This is the final product that's fully printed with finishes, and can also include Pantone colors and add-ons such as embossing or foil stamping.
Cost: USD 300+ depending on complexity. Get in touch for a quote!
Refunds: Refunds are given if the production order is the same specification as the pre-production sample. Refund terms for each pre-production sample:
