Yes, we understand the importance of testing and visualizing your packaging before committing to a full production run. That’s why we offer a variety of sample types to suit your needs:
1. Custom Sized Samples #
- Purpose: Test different sizes and materials to see how your design comes together in real life.
- Ideal For: Checking size and material fit.
2. Structural Samples (Prototyping & Dummy) #
- Purpose: Test the size and structure of your packaging with blank, unprinted samples. This ensures that everything fits perfectly before moving on to printing.
- Ideal For: Assessing structural integrity and functionality.
3. Simplified Samples #
- Purpose: These are made using digital printers and sample plotters. While they may have minor imperfections like slight creases or less sharp print quality, they provide a quick and cost-effective way to see your design.
- Ideal For: Quick reviews of design alignment and basic structure.
4. Pre-production Samples #
- Purpose: The most accurate sample, this is a one-off production that shows exactly how your finished product will look. It helps catch any last-minute changes before the bulk order.
- Ideal For: Final approval before mass production.
5. Color Proofs #
- Purpose: Get a visual representation of how your printed packaging will look. Though no proof can perfectly replicate the final product, color proofs are essential for verifying colors and design placement.
- Types Available:
- Digital Print Proof: Check your artwork’s alignment and see colors close to final output (~85% accuracy).
- Press Proof: Printed using the same facilities and techniques as your bulk order, this proof offers the closest match to the final colors.
- Pantone Color: For spot color printing, ensuring consistency in hard-to-reproduce colors, often used for brand-specific requirements.
We’re here to help you get the perfect packaging. If you’re interested in any of these sample options or need further guidance, contact us to discuss the best choice for your needs!
