About Custom Sampler Boxes
Sampler boxes for discovery + trial + welcome kits
Discovery, trial, and welcome-kit boxes are the highest-conversion DTC packaging format — a brand ships 3-12 sample-size SKUs in one considered outer carton to earn a full-size purchase or a subscription commitment. Trade Coffee, Birchbox, Ipsy, Atlas, Bespoke Post, plus 300+ indie DTC brands run sampler programs. We print low-MOQ from 100 kits so an indie brand can test a discovery program without a subscription-service scale commitment.
Formats: 3, 5, or 12 count with insert
3-count intro kit: 165×85×45mm reverse tuck-end with 3 compartments in a scored insert. 5-count regional or category kit: 245×85×45mm. 10-count welcome or curator kit: 260×195×45mm with a 5×2 divided insert. 12-count monthly-subscription kit: 260×195×60mm with a 4×3 divided insert. 18-24pt SBS body; kraft alternative for natural/wellness positioning. Front-panel die-cut window with PET film patch previews the assortment; printed insert card explains each sample.

Why US brands choose us for custom sampler boxes
Custom Box Printing manufactures custom sampler boxes from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom sampler boxes for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every custom sampler boxes order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Sampler boxes hold multi-SKU discovery kits — 3 to 12 sample-size units each with their own primary packaging. The outer sampler carton needs a printed insert or die-cut divider that isolates each sample so nothing shifts in transit and the unboxing reveals the assortment cleanly. Standard build is 18-24pt SBS or kraft with a scored divider or friction-fit tray. Add soft-touch lamination for premium DTC positioning; foil on the brand mark; a die-cut window on the front to preview the assortment; a printed insert card with product descriptions.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
