Feel it before you commit
Order a physical sample of your exact packaging before a full production run. One unit or up to 10 printed units, at a flat fee that credits toward your first order.
Produced from your dieline, not ours
Exact material, exact finish, exact dimensions.
Your exact packaging, in your hands
A MetaSys sample is not a generic test print. It is produced to your exact specification: your dimensions, your material choice, your artwork, your finishing options. When your sample arrives, you are holding what production will look like.
- Your exact box style (mailer, rigid, product box, etc.)
- Your chosen material and thickness
- Full-color print on the sides you specified
- Your finishing options applied (matte, gloss, foil, soft-touch)
- Assembly and structure check at your exact dimensions
- A printed dieline for your records
From request to production in four steps
The sample process is straightforward. Submit your specs, we produce to your dieline, you confirm quality, and your fee rolls into your first order.
Submit your request
Fill in the quote form below. In the product description, note that you want a sample. Include your box style, dimensions, material preference, and any print details.
We produce your sample
Our team produces a single physical sample or a small run of 5 to 10 units printed and finished to your exact specification. You see exactly what production will look like.
We ship it to you
Your sample ships directly to your door. Hold the material, check the print quality, test the assembly, and confirm everything is right before committing to your full order.
Fee credits to your first order
Happy with the sample? The flat sample fee credits in full toward your first production order. You are not paying twice for the same work.
The brands that sample first launch better
A physical sample costs a fraction of what a production redo costs. Every reason to skip it is outweighed by what you learn from holding your actual box.
See it before you scale
Digital proofs are useful. Holding the actual box is definitive. Colors, texture, print crispness, and structural feel cannot be fully conveyed on screen.
Catch spec errors early
A dimension that looked right on a dieline might be tight on the actual product. A sample catches that before 500 units are produced to the wrong spec.
Protect your budget
A small sample fee is a fraction of the cost of a production redo. Most clients who sample first report fewer revision rounds on production orders.
Validate the unboxing moment
Your buyers will open this box on camera or show it to friends. Run it through that test yourself before your launch date. Samples make that possible.
