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.

What's Included

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

include	exclude
Custom size	Print
Custom material	Finishes (e.g. matte, glossy)
	Add-ons (e.g. foil stamping, embossing)

Note: structural samples are made with sampling machines, so these samples might be harder to fold and you may see some small creases/tears in the paper.

Process & Timeline

Generally, structural samples take 3-5 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 sample (3-5 days)

The sample will be created based on the agreed upon specifications.

4. Ship sample (7-10 days)

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