Simplified Sample

Here's what's included and excluded in a Simplified Sample:

Important note about colors:

• The outcome of print in CMYK can vary across every print run due to differences in facilities used, paper material, and the effect of finishes or coating.
• If you need a specific color to be printed, opt for Pantone colors instead of CMYK, or send us a physical sample (e.g. existing box or printed material) that you'd like us to match the colors to. Samples with Pantone colors or that require color matching are available only through a Press Proof or Pre-production Sample.

Important note about the sample:

• Simplified Samples are made with sampling machines, so the print quality isn't as crisp/sharp compared with the outcome from actual print facilities used in production. In addition, these samples might be harder to fold and you may see some small creases/tears in the paper.

For each Simplified Sample, you will receive:

*Note: dielines for inserts are only provided as part of our structural design service.

Generally, Simplified Samples take 6-8 days to complete and 7-10 days to ship.

Simplified Samples are available for all packaging types except rigid boxes (e.g. lid and base boxes, magnetic rigid boxes, rigid drawer boxes, cardboard tubes).

*Note: Simplified Samples of custom box inserts are available if you provide us with a dieline of the insert. If you don't have a dieline for your insert, we can provide this as part of our structural design service.

If you place a production order where the specifications and artwork designs are identical to the Simplified Sample you ordered, you are eligible for a reimbursement of the Simplified Sample fee. Here are the reimbursement terms for each Simplified Sample purchased:

For example, if you've purchased 2 identical Simplified Samples, you will need to meet the reimbursement criteria twice in order to get a full reimbursement for both samples (e.g. packaging order value of USD 1500 x 2 or 2000 units x 2).

Before placing an order for a Simplified Sample, please double check the specifications and details of your sample. Changes in scope and artwork after the sample has been created will come with additional costs.
