How to Request Adhesive Samples
Learn how global buyers should request, test, and evaluate packaging adhesive samples from Chinese suppliers.
Quick Answer
To request adhesive samples effectively, send clear application details, paper grade, production speed, target bond strength, sample quantity, destination country, and testing method. Good sample requests save time and reduce sourcing risk.
What to Include in a Sample Request
Adhesive application: corrugated board, paper tube, honeycomb, lamination, etc.
Paper substrate and thickness.
Machine speed and operating temperature.
Climate or humidity conditions.
Required sample quantity and packaging format.
How to Test Samples
Run the sample on your actual production line or a close simulation. Measure bonding strength, setting time, waste rate, and board appearance.
Commercial Questions
Ask whether sample cost is refundable after bulk order, how long sample preparation takes, and whether technical staff can support remote troubleshooting.
Common Mistakes
Buyers often test samples in unrealistic conditions or compare suppliers without using the same paper grade and machine settings.
