Abstract
A product sampler packet assembly includes a flexible packet bonded to a carrier card by an adhesive standoff having sufficient hardness (and resistance to creep) to increase the burst strength of the assembly above that of the packet alone. The adhesive standoff is disposed between the packet and the carrier card to define a well into which the packet is at least slightly deformed under compression such that the adhesive stand off distributes the compressive force without substantial transfer to the closure seal of the packet.
