How Samtop Helps You Validate Fit, Function, and Feel — Before Mass Production

Yes — Samtop produces fully functional display samples with working LEDs, magnetic parts, and real assembly mechanisms to ensure accurate testing before mass production.

🎯You’re Not Just Approving a Look — You’re Approving Function

At Samtop, we provide fully functional display samples — not just visuals — so you can test real lighting, assembly, and magnet systems before scaling up

💡 LED lighting
🧲 Magnetic attachments
🔌 Hidden wiring
🧩 Modular slot-ins or product trays

Then you’ve likely asked:

  • “Can we see the LED color in action?”
  • “Can we test if the tray fits securely?”
  • “Will the logo magnet hold correctly?”
  • “Is the wiring hidden as it should be?”

At Samtop, we build functional samples — not just white models or visual dummies. You’ll test what your customers will experience.
