We want you to feel confident before you place a full order. Our free sample program lets you see and feel our packaging in your own kitchen or shop. Choose the items you’d like to test, load them up with your treats, and make sure the size, color, and construction are a good fit for your brand.
Samples themselves are free – you simply pay a shipping fee that is calculated in sets of up to six unique samples. Whether you are a home baker, a growing cottage business, or a busy commercial kitchen, this is an easy way to make sure you’re choosing the right packaging the first time.
Our samples program is flexible on purpose. You are not limited to a strict cap of six pieces. Instead, shipping is calculated in simple blocks based on how many unique sample items you choose.
For example:
These are the same rates used on the Samples — Quick Order page. The fee simply multiplies as you add more sets of six unique samples.
| Destination | Fee (per 6 unique samples) |
|---|---|
| Lower 48 United States | $12 |
| Canada, Hawaii, Puerto Rico | $17 |
| Alaska & everywhere else | $42 |
Most of our everyday box and packaging lines are available as samples. Many customers choose a small variety so they can compare several options side by side with their products.
Once your samples arrive, load them up with your real product. Check how your items look through the window, how the lid closes, how the board or insert supports the weight, and how everything feels in your customer’s hands.
When you’re ready, you can build your samples order using our Samples — Quick Order tool. You’ll see the shipping fee update automatically as you select more items, and you’ll confirm everything before you check out.
