Simplified Samples

Simplified Samples are printed samples of your packaging without any added finishes. They're the perfect type of sample if you're looking to visualize the outcome of your artwork directly on your packaging.

What's Included

Here's what's included and excluded in a simplified sample:

include	exclude
Custom size	Pantone or white ink
Custom material	Finishes (e.g. matte, glossy)
Custom print in CMYK	Add-ons (e.g. foil stamping, embossing)

Note: 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.

Process & Timeline

Generally, Simplified Samples take 4-7 days to complete and 7-10 days to ship.

1. Specify requirements

Choose the packaging type and define the specs (e.g. size, material).

2. Place order

Place your sample order and make payment in full.

3. Create dieline (2-3 days)

We'll create the dieline for you to add your artwork to.

4. Send artwork

Add your artwork to the dieline and send it back to us for approval.

5. Create sample (4-5 days)

The sample will be printed based on the artwork file you've sent over.

6. Ship sample (7-10 days)

We'll send photos and mail the physical sample to your specified address.
