There is proposed a process for producing an analytical aid (112) for thedetection of atleast one analyte in a sample, more particularly a body fluid. The analyticalaid (112)comprises at least one housing (120) and at least one test element (122)comprising at leastone test chemistry (134). The process comprises the following steps:a) providing the test element (122); andb) producing at least one housing part (114) of the housing (120) by means ofat leastone shaping process, during which the test element (122) is connected to thehousing part (114).
