How are sampling fees charged, and how long does it take to complete?

At Jialan Package, custom packaging sample fees depend on material selection, structural complexity, and printing techniques. Blank structural samples or stock samples are often provided for free or at a nominal fee, while fully printed custom prototypes typically incur a standard setup cost (around $50–$150) to cover material preparation, custom die-cutting, and pre-press setup. To support your business, Jialan Package credits this sample fee back toward your final invoice upon bulk order placement. Thanks to our advanced automated sampling equipment, standard packaging sample lead time is exceptionally fast: unprinted structural prototypes take just 1 to 3 business days, while full-color pre-production samples are completed within 3 to 5 business days. As a reliable wholesale packaging manufacturer, Jialan Package ensures rapid prototyping so you can verify physical dimensions, color fidelity, and structural integrity without delaying your product launch schedules.
