Trusted Experts in Packaging Samples and Rapid Prototyping
As specialists in custom boxes & packaging, our team brings decades of combined experience to structural design, print accuracy, and material engineering. Every sample and prototype we create is built with precision and a deep understanding of how packaging needs to perform in real-world conditions.
Interactive 3D Prototype
A high-quality, rendered 3D model of your packaging design, including all artwork and structural specifications. This digital file is perfect for review, marketing simulations, and internal layout testing.
Plain Sample
An unprinted, physical sample cut from the specified material. This essential prototype allows you to test the box's structure, size, and material integrity with your actual product. Ideal for small run projects.
Digital Print Sample
A physical sample that has been digitally printed and precisely cut. This provides a tangible version of your final artwork, perfect for checking color accuracy, design placement, and overall visual appeal.
Production Sample
A sample created using our mass production methods (e.g., offset printing, specific finishes). This is the gold standard for final evaluation, ensuring that the packaging is ready for high-volume manufacturing.
Exclusive Prototyping Package
Precision-Engineered Samples for Accurate Validation
Each prototype is crafted using the exact specifications of your product. We test structural integrity, sizing, and material compatibility so your final packaging performs perfectly from day one.
Industry Specialists with Years of Packaging Expertise
Our in-house designers and packaging engineers work closely with you, helping identify potential issues, optimizing your design, and ensuring your packaging meets industry standards before large-scale manufacturing.
Comprehensive Sample and Prototyping Solutions for Every Stage
Every packaging project moves through multiple phases. We offer the complete suite of sample types so you can validate each stage with confidence. Whether you need a quick digital preview or a full production-grade sample, we build exactly what you need.
01
Interactive 3D Packaging Prototypes for Instant Visualization
This high-resolution, digital 3D model displays your artwork, structure, layout, and finishing options. Ideal for internal approvals, marketing presentations, and rapid decision-making.
02
Plain Samples for Structural and Material Verification
Created from the actual substrate but without printing these samples confirm size accuracy, folding mechanics, strength, and how your product fits inside the box. Perfect for small runs, fragile items, and new product lines.
03
Digital Print Samples for Color and Artwork Accuracy
These samples offer a printed, cut, and assembled version of your design. They help you test:
- Color consistency
- Typography clarity
- Artwork placement
- Visual appeal
It’s the fastest way to ensure your design looks exactly how you envisioned it.
Production Samples for Final Mass-Printing Approval
These samples are created using the same equipment, finishes, and print methods as your actual manufacturing run. You’ll see the precise quality—from coating to embossing to color—your final product will have.

Frequently asked questions from our support
Why are packaging samples important before mass production?
Samples reveal structural issues, color inconsistencies, and sizing problems before they become expensive mistakes, ensuring your final packaging is perfect.
How long does it take to receive a prototype?
Most prototypes are completed in 1–5 business days, depending on type and complexity.
What materials do you offer for prototypes?
We offer SBS, kraft, specialty coated stocks, eco-friendly materials, and industry-specific substrates.
What’s the difference between a digital print sample and a production sample?
A digital print sample focuses on artwork accuracy, while a production sample uses full manufacturing methods, finishes, and coatings.
Do you refund sample costs with a production order?
Yes. We waive 100% of sample and prototyping fees when you place a full production order.
Can I see a 3D model before requesting a physical sample?
Absolutely. Our 3D prototypes are perfect for early visualization and internal approvals.
