Custom Perfume Sample Cards & Perfume Trial Packaging Card
A perfume sample card is a printed folding card with die-cut slots, elastic tabs or a heat-sealed blister that holds 1ml, 1.5ml, 2ml or 3ml fragrance vials for discovery sets, subscription boxes and retail sampling. YiZhou Packaging manufactures custom perfume sample cards and trial packaging cards from 300–450gsm FSC®-certified paperboard in bi-fold, tri-fold or blister structure — with low MOQ 1000 pcs, free design proof and free pre-production sampling.

Perfume Sample Card Structures We Manufacture
Choose the card structure that matches how your sample will be handled — mailed flat, hung on a retail peg, or handed out at an event. All three structures below are die-cut to your exact vial, so the vial never rattles or falls out.
| Structure | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bi-fold Card with Die-cut Slots | One fold, one or two die-cut slots that grip the vial body; the card opens like a greeting card and can carry copy inside. | 1ml / 1.5ml / 2ml vials, single-scent mailers, magazine inserts |
| Tri-fold Sample Folder Card | Three panels: a branded cover, a vial-holder panel and a printed story or scent-notes panel. | 2–4 vial discovery sets, brand storytelling, gift-with-purchase |
| Blister Seal Card (Blister + Backing Card) | A clear PET blister is heat-sealed to a printed backing card so the vial stays visible and tamper-evident. | Retail hanging, pharmacy and travel-retail presentation |
| Elastic / Rubber-band Vial Card | Die-cut slots combined with elastic tabs hold the vial without adhesive, so it can be removed and re-seated. | Reusable sample holders, tester cards |
Paper Weight & Finishing Options
| Board / Paper | Weight range | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Coated art card (white back) | 300gsm | Light 1ml vial cards, flat mailers |
| Coated art card (white back) | 350gsm (standard) | Bi-fold & tri-fold sample cards |
| Duplex / mounted board | 400gsm | Heavier 2ml–3ml vials, rigid feel |
| Kraft board | 350–400gsm | Natural, eco-friendly and recycled-look cards |
| Black card / specialty board | 350–450gsm | Luxury foil-stamped and embossed editions |
Finishing that works well on sample cards: matte or soft-touch lamination for a premium hand feel, gold or silver foil stamping for logos, embossing / debossing for texture, and spot UV to highlight a scent name.
Vial Slot & Die-cut Specifications
The die-cut slot is sized to your actual vial, not to a generic template. These are the typical starting points we cut test cards from — final tolerance is confirmed against a physical vial or a 1:1 drawing.
| Vial capacity | Typical vial diameter | Recommended slot / hole | Suggested board |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ml sample vial | 12–14 mm | 13 mm round hole or 14 mm open slot | 300–350gsm |
| 1.5ml sample vial | 14–16 mm | 15 mm round hole | 350gsm |
| 2ml sample vial | 16–18 mm | 17 mm round hole or horizontal slot | 350–400gsm |
| 3ml sample vial | 18–22 mm | 20 mm slot with elastic tab | 400–450gsm |
Send a photo or drawing of your vial with your inquiry and we will cut a free test card so you can check the fit before approving artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for perfume sample cards?
Our MOQ for custom perfume sample cards and trial packaging cards is 1000 pieces.
Which vial sizes can your sample cards hold?
We die-cut slots for 1ml, 1.5ml, 2ml and 3ml sample vials, and for mini spray bottles. The slot is cut to your actual vial diameter so the vial is held firmly.
What is the difference between a bi-fold, tri-fold and blister sample card?
A bi-fold card folds once and holds the vial in a die-cut slot; a tri-fold folder adds a third panel for brand or scent-notes copy; a blister card heat-seals a clear PET blister to the backing card so the vial stays visible and tamper-evident.
What paper weights and finishes do you offer?
We print on 300–450gsm coated art card, kraft or specialty board (350gsm is our standard), with CMYK offset printing plus matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, embossing and spot UV.
Can you customize the card size and layout?
Yes, you can specify any dimensions and design layout to fit your sample vials, including multi-vial discovery-set layouts.
How long does production take?
Digital proofs arrive within 24–48 hours, physical samples take 3–5 days, and bulk production takes 7–10 business days after sample approval.
Can I upload my own design file?
Certainly. There is a file upload option in the inquiry form for your artwork or design brief (PDF, AI, CDR, JPG or PNG).
Do you offer die-cut options for holding vials?
