Custom Packaging Inserts

Product Description

The custom packaging inserts are optimised for brands that need to provide product protection and high-end product presentation in their package. Inserts are a great way to ensure a product is secured for retail, subscription box businesses, Shopify brands, and ecommerce sellers while providing a cleaner and more organized unboxing experience.

We offer several materials for inserts, based on product type and shipping needs. Common products that use cardboard and paperboard inserts include cosmetics, candles, food packaging, and light retail products. For packaging applications that require additional support due to the shipping weight, corrugated inserts can be used, whilst for industrial products, electronics, and luxury packaging, rigid chipboard inserts can be used.

Foam inserts are frequently used in items that need extra cushioning or exact positioning. The EVA foam inserts are hard and heavy, like a yoga mat, and are designed for high-value electronics, luxury gift sets, watches, and tool kits. The PU foam inserts are softer and more flexible, which provides cushioning for fragile items such as glassware, ceramics, skincare jars, and perfume bottles. Lightweight and with high shock absorption, PE foam inserts are ideal for medical devices and fragile packaged products.

Certain brands may need the provision of special insert designs based on the packaging design. Inserts with no support can be used to allow products to lie directly on the bottom of the box, and work best when the products are similar in size. Products with backing are raised using inserts to provide extra support and a high-quality product display.

One of the best ways to keep items organized and presented nicely and minimize movement during shipping is with custom packaging with inserts. Custom printed packaging inserts are available in a variety of finishes, including PMS printing, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, matte coating, gloss coating, and soft-touch lamination.

Designed for Product Protection, Presentation & Organization

The movement of products during shipping is one of the most common packaging problems that e-commerce brands face. Custom packaging inserts are used to ensure that products stay in place within a box, but can also help to create a more structured visual presentation.

The inserts are designed for the exact dimensions of the product to minimize shifting, impact damage, and wasted space. The difference with conventional fillers is that inserts form specific cavities that keep products separate and in order during transportation.

For luxury brands, inserts bring the additional advantage of a well-displayed product upon opening the box, giving the customer the best impression of the brand. Velvet-laminated foam can be found in jewelry brands as well as the electronics industry to protect the sensitive electronic components found in PCBs, semiconductors, chargers, earbuds, and smart devices. Custom cardboard packaging inserts are popular for cosmetics, candles, food products, and retail packaging due to their structuring properties and recyclability. Custom Packaging rigid box with inserts design is ideal for high-end product launches, luxury gift sets, medical devices, and specialty electronics.

Unlike standard inserts, there are no standard dimensions; each insert is built to meet the product dimensions and box dimensions. Brands must give the exact product size (L x W x H) so that the proper insert cavities can be created. Due to this precision-driven approach, customized ecommerce packaging inserts are perfect for retail packaging, subscription packages, promotional packaging, and direct-to-consumer shipping.

Packaging Inserts for Retail, E-Commerce & Subscription Packaging

Various industries have varying degrees of protection and presentation. From retail packaging to e-commerce and industrial packaging, our custom packaging inserts are produced for all kinds of packaging applications.

Paperboard inserts are typically used in cosmetic and skin care line products such as lipstick, skin packages, perfume bottles, and makeup palettes. EVA foam, PE foam, or anti-static foam inserts are used in the electronics industry for smartphones, laptops, cameras, smartwatches, and accessories used for charging.

Box packaging with rigid boxes and velvet-lined inserts is used by brands in the jewelry and luxury goods industry to ensure premium products are secured while maintaining the presentation. Corrugated or molded pulp inserts are used in the packaging of chocolates, cupcakes, candies, bottled products, and wine.

Custom packaging with inserts is also crucial for subscription box companies as it enables a slew of products and SKUs to stay structured within a single box. Rigid chipboard and foam insert solutions are commonly used in shipments and storage for industrial companies, aerospace manufacturers, and medical device brands to protect their equipment.

PU Foam Inserts

The PU foam has a soft touch and is flexible like a sponge texture. Ideal for delicate items such as Ceramics, Candles, Perfume bottles, and Fragile glass.

PE Foam Inserts

PE foam is shock absorbent, lightweight, and recyclable. It has a tendency to be employed for medical devices, lightweight electronics, and shipping products that are breakable.

Anti-Static Foam Inserts

Anti-static foam is developed for delicate electronic elements. Prevents static accumulation, which may affect semiconductors, PCBs, and precision electronics. The foam insert solutions decrease product moving, lower impact harm, and enhance package organisation throughout shipping and handling.

Corrugated & Molded Insert Structures

Custom corrugated packaging inserts offer extra support for shipping-related applications and are lightweight and recyclable.

For normal packaging applications, e-flute corrugated inserts with a flute thickness of 1.2-2mm are most prevalent. They are suitable for cosmetics, subscription boxes, food products, and light retail packaging applications.

For larger boxes and heavier products that need additional cushioning during transit, B-flute corrugate in the range of 2.5-3mm flute thickness will provide greater cushioning.

Brands with an eco-conscious mindset often opt for custom molded pulp packaging inserts, as they are biodegradable and compostable. Molded pulp is a paper fiber product, often used for candles, electronics, wine bottles, glassware, retail gift packaging, etc.

Packaging inserts for retail display and electronics packaging are precision fit and offer good visibility of the product with custom plastic packaging inserts, such as thermoformed plastic trays.
