Why Work With Fantastic Mr. Box for Product Sample Kit Packaging?

Packaging only works when it is designed around the product and built to perform consistently. We focus on structure, fit and repeatability, so your packaging is reliable to pack, ship and open every time.

We are a UK-based packaging company with over 35 years of experience in structural design, artwork and production. All packaging is manufactured in Britain using FSC accredited, recyclable materials.

  • Stage 1: Send your products and brief

  • Stage 2: Plain sample for structural sign-off

  • Stage 3: Artwork print-ready files

  • Stage 4: 3D visual for approval

  • Stage 5: Production typically four weeks

  • Stage 6: Fulfilment if required

  • Yes. Our product sample kit packaging is designed and manufactured in the UK, giving you better control over quality, communication and lead times. This is especially useful when packaging needs to be developed around product sampling, sales activity, buyer presentations, launch campaigns or stakeholder approval stages.

  • Yes. We design product sample kits around the actual products supplied, rather than working from guesswork. This helps with presentation, protection and fit, especially when the kit includes samples, bottles, jars, sachets, cartons, accessories, printed inserts or sales materials.

  • Yes. We can work with your existing brand guidelines and brand assets, including fonts, colours, logos, lock-ups, artwork references and campaign messaging. This helps make the product sample kit feel consistent with the wider brand, product range, sales campaign or launch activity.

  • Yes. We can review the structure, materials, print finishes and internal layout to help make product sample kits feel more premium and considered. This can include branded sleeves, internal print, card fitments, foiling, embossing, product reveals, printed inserts and more structured opening sequences.

  • Yes. Product sample kits are often produced in lower quantities because they are usually designed for buyers, sales teams, press contacts, influencers, product launches or selected prospects. These projects are normally more bespoke and sales-led, so the packaging is designed around the budget, contents and commercial objective.

  • Yes. We can help with kitting, assembly and fulfilment where required. This can include packing the products into the sample kits, adding printed inserts or sales materials, applying labels and preparing the boxes for bulk delivery or individual distribution.

  • Yes. Sustainability is considered as part of the design process. We can use FSC materials, recyclable boards and card fitments where possible, while still making sure the packaging feels premium, protects the contents and supports the sampling activity.

  • Our standard production lead time is around four weeks from artwork sign-off, depending on the packaging format, quantity and finish. Before production, we usually create a plain sample for approval, so the structure, size and product fit can be checked before artwork is finalised.
