Standard sample
Useful for checking a representative screen, playback, audio, buttons, charging and common cover construction before artwork is final.
Use a standard sample to evaluate general workmanship and a custom prototype to approve your project-specific design. Availability, charges and timing should be confirmed against the requested screen, construction and artwork.
Custom prototype
Produced around the agreed project specification and artwork so the buyer can approve visual and functional details.
Production reference
The approved specification should identify which sample details become the production standard and which items remain subject to written confirmation.
Sample approval checklist
| Area | What to inspect | What to record |
|---|---|---|
| Color, registration, finish, text and image placement | Approved artwork version and any color references | |
| Construction | Finished size, folds, cover, edges, hinge and closure | Dimensions and material/finish description |
| Screen | Display, viewing angle, brightness and fit in the card | Screen size and agreed component specification |
| Playback | Auto-play behavior, video order, looping and resume behavior | Approved files and playback instructions |
| Controls | Buttons, labels, volume and navigation | Button layout and function map |
| Power | Charging port, cable, battery behavior and shutdown | Interface and test notes |
| Packaging | Individual protection, fit and opening sequence | Packaging specification and carton needs |

Document corrections and approve the final production reference.
Sample FAQ
What should I check on a sample?
Check print color, dimensions, cover construction, screen playback, audio, buttons, charging, video loading and packaging against the approved specification.
Is a standard sample the same as a custom prototype?
No. A standard sample demonstrates typical workmanship; a custom prototype is produced around the buyer's artwork and agreed configuration.
Can production start before sample approval?
The safest process is to document and approve the agreed sample or specification before mass production. If timing requires another approach, the approval boundaries should be confirmed in writing.
What information is needed to recommend a sample?
Provide the product type, screen preference, quantity, use case, destination, deadline and current artwork/video status.
