Yep, they always use a few sheets to get the press setup, and they're almost always scrap from another job. After the first 2-3, you need maybe 5-10 to really get the registration right. A place printing fish cake boxes might not care as much. amd if the proofs had enough sheet margin they might not have needed anything else. (and it could be the proofs on top of the fish box)
