A cosmetic sampler package for a fluid product sample complies with postal regulations for subscription rate insertion in literature to be distributed through the U.S. Postal Service, and also provides a sampler unit having a transparent or translucent moisture vapor barrier layer substantially equivalent to that of a foil film. The product sampler is formed by sealing together top and bottom composite laminates to form a pouch for containing the product sample, and includes a window for viewing the product. The pouch shape includes a nozzle tip for controllably dispensing the product, and a perforated strip is cut across the nozzle so that the sampler can be easily opened. The sampler is affixed to a carrier card for insertion into a periodical, brochure or other literature. To protect the carrier card and the product, a sampling surface is provided on the carrier card under the nozzle so that the fluid product expelled from the opened pouch flows onto the sampling surface.

1. A product sampler package comprising: a carrier card; a sampling surface provided on the carrier card; and a sampling unit affixed to the carrier card and over the sampling surface, wherein the sampler unit comprises: a first composite laminate including a first moisture barrier layer, wherein at least a portion of the first composite laminate is transparent or translucent; and a second composite laminate including a second moisture barrier layer, said first and second composite laminates being sealed together to define an enclosed pouch for containing a sample of a fluid cosmetic product such that the enclosed pouch has a nozzle shaped dispensing tip for controlling a flow of product dispensed from the pouch, wherein the sealed laminates are die cut to form a frangible tab and strip extending across the nozzle shaped dispensing tip to facilitate opening the sampler to access the product, wherein the nozzle shaped dispensing tip and the frangible tab are disposed over the sampling surface so that the sampling surface forms a barrier between the sampler unit and the carrier card, such that when a fluid product is dispensed from the sampler, moisture from the fluid product is prevented from contacting or being absorbed by the carrier card, and wherein the first and second moisture vapor barrier layers each has a moisture vapor transmission rate no greater than about 0.065 g/100 in2/24 hrs @ 100° F., 90% RH, and the first moisture vapor barrier layer is a nonmetallic flexible film. 2. The product sampler package according to claim 1, wherein when the strip is pulled open across the dispensing tip, the peripheral portions of the sealed laminates surrounding the shape of the tab and strip define, along with the sampling surface, a reservoir area for containing the dispensation of the product to a defined region. 3. The product sampler package according to claim 1, wherein the sampling surface includes a substrate and a coating material provided on the substrate, and the sampling surface is adhered onto the carrier card. 4. The product sampler package according to claim 3, wherein the sampling surface substrate is selected from the group consisting of paperboard, paper, plastic, fabric, film, foam, and combinations thereof. 5. The product sampler package according to claim 3, wherein the coating material on the sampling surface is selected from the group consisting of foil, plastic, fabric, film, foam, and a film laminate. 6. The product sampler package according to claim 1, wherein the sampling surface substrate is formed as a barrier layer applied directly onto the surface of the carrier card. 7. The product sampler package according to claim 1, wherein the frangible tab and strip are formed by a U-shaped die cut formed in the sampler unit.
