Custom Paper Inserts & Dividers
The box gets your product to the door; the insert gets it there in one piece. We die-cut corrugated fitments, grid dividers and layer pads that grip your product by geometry. The result is an all-paper interior that packs fast, protects hard and recycles with the box it ships in.

Corrugated Inserts & Dividers
Four constructions cover most interior-protection programs. All are designed in-house and proven with a physical sample before you commit.
Grid Dividers / Partitions
Slotted panels that interlock into a multi-cell grid, separating every unit from its neighbors and the walls.
Best for: glass bottles, drinkware, multi-cell kits. Ships flat, slots together in seconds
Die-Cut Fitments / Platforms
One-piece folded platforms that locate each component and suspend it away from the box walls.
Best for: electronics, tools and multi-part kits with a clean presentation
Layer Pads & Edge Buffers
Flat corrugated pads between product layers, plus edge and corner buffers where the load concentrates.
Best for: stacked identical units and palletized shipments
Insert + Box Kits
The insert engineered together with its mailer or shipper as one system, with printed interior optional.
Best for: DTC and subscription kits where the opening moment sells
Working from a spec sheet or a competitor’s insert? Send it over. We’ll engineer the dieline and prove it with a sample.
Engineered to Grip
- Standoff on all six sides: the product never touches the outer wall; the insert creates the protective gap.
- Held by geometry, not friction: parts stay located through repeated handling and rough transit.
- Crumple zones do the cushioning: engineered paper structures absorb impact where many packs once used foam.
- Designed in-house: structural design team, 3D die library and sample room under one roof.
Paper, Foam or Thermoformed?
We make all three in-house, so the steer you get is engineering, not sales.
All-Paper Corrugated
Mono-material pack, recycles as one stream, packs flat.
Choose when: eco brief, medium fragility, retail or DTC presentation (this page)
EPE Foam Insert
More cushioning per millimeter; anti-static grades for electronics.
Choose when: fragile, heavy or repeated-handling loads → EPE Foam Inserts
Thermoformed Tray
Precise cavity nesting with a clean, wipeable surface.
Choose when: exact part location, assembly lines → Thermoformed Insert Trays
Heavy or hybrid job? A corrugated frame with foam contact pads is often the best of both, and one supplier engineers both halves.
Applications
- Glass bottles & drinkware
- Multi-bottle kits
- Electronics & accessories
- Subscription & DTC kits
- Ceramics & fragile goods
- Palletized layer packs
Samples & Lead Time
Free sample: within 5 working days
A plain structural sample cut to your product. It is free; you cover only the courier. Test the fit with the real product before you commit.
Press proof: 8 days
If your insert or kit is printed, a production-line sample follows the full process with your chosen print and finish.
Production: within 15 days
Typical orders deliver within 15 days of approval; exact timing depends on quantity and finishing.
Sustainability
An insert cut from the same corrugated as its box makes the whole pack one material. It goes into paper and cardboard recycling streams together, with nothing for your customer to separate. Recycled-content board and FSC-certified sourcing are available on request. Right-sizing the insert also right-sizes the box: less void fill, less freight, less damage.
Insert & Divider Questions, Answered
Can you design an insert from just my product’s dimensions?
Yes, and better still, courier us the product itself. Our structural design team engineers the dieline in-house and you receive a free structural sample to test the fit before committing.
Do dividers ship assembled?
They ship flat and knocked-down. Slotted panels interlock into the grid in seconds on your packing line, so you pay freight on board, not air.
When should I choose paper over foam?
Paper wins on eco briefs and medium-fragility products; EPE foam wins on fragile, heavy or anti-static jobs. We make both in-house, so you get an engineering answer, including hybrid designs, rather than a sales pitch.
What’s the minimum order quantity?
Inserts follow the box order, so there is no separate minimum when they ship with your cartons. Ordered on their own, standard MOQ is 1,000 per size and style. Smaller runs are quoted case by case.
Can the insert be printed?
Most inserts run unprinted. For kit and unboxing packs we print interior faces (instructions, brand color, opening sequence) as part of the same program.
Can you supply the box and insert together?
Yes, that’s the point. Insert, box and any foam or tray components are engineered as one system by one supplier and tested together.
