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.

1. A product sampler packet assembly for distribution, the product sampler packet assembly comprising:(a) a carrier card; (b) a sealed packet having a top layer and a bottom layer, a portion of the top layer releasably sealed to a portion of the bottom layer, the sealed packet retaining a volume of sample material and the sealed packet having a packet burst strength; and (c) an adhesive standoff bonding the sealed packet to the carrier card to preclude non destructive separation of the packet and the carrier card, the adhesive standoff defining a well sized to receive the volume of sample material, the adhesive standoff having a hardness to provide an assembly burst strength of the packet bonded to the carrier card at least twice as great as the packet burst strength. 2. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein a portion of the top layer is permanently sealed to the bottom layer.3. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the top layer includes a laser score line of weakness.4. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the top layer is contiguous with the bottom layer along a fold line.5. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the adhesive standoff bonds to the carrier card to preclude non-destruction separation from the carrier card.6. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the adhesive standoff includes a pair of spaced walls.7. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the top layer includes a cheveron.8. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 1, wherein the top layer includes a perforation line of weakness.9. A product sampler packet assembly distribution, the product sampler packet assembly comprising:(a) a carrier card; (b) a sealed packet having a top layer and a bottom layer, a portion of the top layer releasably sealed to a portion of the bottom layer, and the sealed packet retaining a volume of sample material; and (c) an adhesive standoff bonding the sealed packet to the carrier card, the adhesive standoff defining a well sized to receive the volume of sample material, the adhesive standoff having a hardness greater than 70 Shore A. 10. A product sampler packet assembly for distribution, the product sampler packet assembly comprising:(a) a carrier card: (b) a sealed packet having a top layer and a bottom layer, a portion of the top layer releasably sealed to a portion of the bottom layer, the sealed packet retaining a volume of sample material and the sealed packet having a packet burst strength; and (c) an adhesive standoff bonding the sealed packet to the carrier card to preclude non destructive separation of the packet and the carrier card, the adhesive standoff defining a well sized to receive the volume of sample material, the adhesive standoff having at least one of a hardness, creep and tensile strength to provide an assembly burst strength of the packet bonded to the carrier card at least twice as great as the packet burst strength. 11. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 10, wherein the assembly burst strength is at least five time greater than the packet burst strength.12. A packet assembly for distribution, the assembly comprising:(a) a packet retaining a volume of the product, the packet having a peelable interface, the peelable interface being peelable by a peel force, the packet having a packet burst strength; (b) a carrier card; and (c) an adhesive standoff bonding the packet to the carrier card, the adhesive standoff defining a bonding pattern between the packet and the carrier card, the adhesive standoff and the bonding pattern selected to provide an assembly burst strength at least twice the packet burst strength. 13. The packet assembly of claim 12, wherein the assembly burst strength is at least five times the packet burst strength.14. The packet assembly of claim 12, wherein the assembly burst strength is at least ten times the packet burst strength.15. The packet assembly of claim 12, wherein the adhesive standoff has a hardness greater than 70 Shore A.16. The packet assembly of claim 12, wherein the adhesive standoff precludes non destructive separation of the packet and the carrier card.17. A method of distributing a product sample, comprising:(a) retaining a volume of the product in a packet, the packet having a given burst strength; (b) bonding the packet to a carrier card with an adhesive standoff, to form and assembly and preclude non destructive separation of the packet from the carrier card, the adhesive standoff configured to provide a burst strength of the assembly at least twice as great as the burst strength of the packet. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising inserting the assembly into one of a periodical or brochure for distribution.19. The method of claim 17, further comprising distributing the assembly through a mailing.20. The method of claim 17, further comprising employing an adhesive having a hardness greater than 60 Shore A.21. A product sampler packet assembly for distribution, the product sampler packet assembly comprising:(a) a carrier card; (b) a sealed packet having a top layer and a bottom layer, the sealed packet retaining a volume of sample material and the sealed packet having a packet burst strength; and (c) an adhesive standoff bonding the sealed packet to the carrier card, the adhesive standoff defining a well sized to receive a volume of sample material, the adhesive standoff having a hardness to provide an assembly burst strength of the packet bonded to the carrier card at least twice as great as the packet burst strength. 22. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 21, wherein a portion of the top layer is releasably bonded to the bottom layer.23. The product sampler packet assembly of claim 21, wherein the adhesive standoff precludes nondestructive separation of the packet from the carrier card.
