Structural Samples

Structural samples are blank, unprinted samples of your packaging. They're the most ideal sample if you're looking to test the size and structure of your packaging to ensure it works with your products.

Limitations

Since structural samples are made with sampling machines, they can have a couple of limitations:

  1. There may be creases and tears, particularly along fold lines (pictured on the left).
  2. They are harder to fold and assemble compared to Pre-production samples (pictured on the right).
    1. Due to more streamlined drying processes, flute lines may be more visible.
