How samples & testing works

3D rendered packaging graphics

Step one

Interactive 3D modeling

Our talented 3D graphics team creates images that let you see how your packaging will look with graphics applied. Stakeholders can offer feedback easily and quickly, speeding time to market.

Step two

Plain sample

This tactile step is where you touch and feel the concept for real. Marrying the product to the package and validating structural integrity and functionality ensures the product arrives to your customer securely and looking great.

Graphic assistance

Pre-flighting art files is an important step toward successful printing. Our prepress department confirms your files are commercial-print friendly and can adjust them as needed.

Production sample packaging ahead of mass production

Step four

Production samples

For some projects we can make production samples in advance of mass production. In other cases, our highly accurate proofing systems are used for press checks at one of our world-class print facilities.
