Good evening!

Could someone explain to me the difference between with no and without?

I came accross this sentence: - Samples without commercial value.

I can't explain why, but I think it's not correct. Shouldn't it be Samples with no commercial value?

Thank you.
 
It's fine. "Without value" means it has no value.

If I have coffee without sugar, it means I have coffee with no sugar. Same thing.
