Printed Sample
The color check:
- Shows printed colors and print quality
- Confirms colors match your design
- Checks print clarity and finish
- Good for color approval
When to use: After design, before printing. Good for confirming colors and print quality.
Blank Sample
The closure check:
- Shows magnetic closure and fold
- Confirms box folds flat and closes securely
- Checks internal structure and insert
- Good for structure approval
When to use: Before bulk order. The most important step — this confirms the box folds, closes and protects your product.
Production Sample
The quality check:
- First boxes from production line
- Confirms bulk quality
- Checks consistency
- Approves full run
When to use: At the start of production. Good for confirming bulk quality matches the sample.
What to Check on a Sample
- Magnetic closure — Does the lid close securely with the magnet?
- Fold quality — Does the box fold flat cleanly?
- Print color — Do colors match your design?
- Box size — Does it fit your product?
- Material feel — Is the paper thick and premium?
- Edge quality — Are edges clean and well-finished?

Common Magnetic Folding Box Sample Mistakes
- Skipping samples — Bulk order arrives and it’s wrong
- Only printed sample, no blank — Colors look right but magnet is weak
- Not checking fold flat — Box doesn’t fold flat for shipping
- No sample approval — Production starts without sign-off
- Same sample for all sizes — Each size needs its own sample
