share the budget with the vendor

as the rockstars of the print, packaging, display, cd/dvd business, we are always making samples for our 

clients. we go to great lengths to  insure our samples work, we make sure the products fit and are secure in

their place, locks work, the substrate is correct. many times we go through the routine only to find we've 

made a 40 cent package for a 20 cent budget. trust your vendor, or find one you trust, time is money and

everyone is better off if the vendor has enough information to do a good job .
