Packaging Inserts

The right insert keeps products from shifting, scratching or breaking. We cut card, foam, corrugated and moulded pulp inserts to the exact shape of your items, and can print them too, so the inside of your box looks as organised and on-brand as the outside.

Custom Packaging Inserts for Boxes

What are packaging inserts?

Packaging inserts are custom-cut pieces placed inside a box to hold products in place. They stop movement, prevent scratches and breakage, and make the contents look organised and premium. A well-designed insert often lets you use a smaller box with less void fill, saving material and shipping costs.

Insert materials

Card and paperboard inserts are economical and recyclable. Corrugated inserts add strength for heavier items. Foam gives maximum cushioning for fragile products such as glass and electronics. Moulded pulp is a plastic-free alternative to foam, and velvet- or fabric-wrapped inserts suit jewelry, watches and luxury goods.

Where inserts are used

Cosmetic and skincare sets, bottles and jars, electronics, subscription boxes, gift sets, candles, medicine and diagnostic kits all benefit from inserts. Rise-up inserts lift products as the box opens, creating a memorable reveal.

Choosing an insert material

Card inserts are economical and recyclable. Corrugated inserts add strength for heavier items. Foam inserts give the best cushioning for fragile products, and moulded pulp is a plastic-free alternative. Velvet and satin-wrapped inserts suit luxury presentation.

Designing an insert

We cut inserts to your product’s exact shape, adding finger holes for easy removal and compartments for multiple items, so products stay in place and look neatly presented when the box is opened.

Ordering custom inserts

Send us your products and box, or their dimensions, and we will design inserts around them with free dielines and 3D mockups.
