How to choose the perfect inserts for custom boxes?

  1. Assess product needs: Prioritize protection (e.g., foam/EVA for fragile electronics, molded pulp for lightweight ceramics) and weight limits.
  2. Match material to function: Use soft foam for cushioning, rigid plastic/blister for moisture resistance, or recycled paper for eco-friendly branding.
  3. Balance cost and durability: Opt for budget-friendly kraft inserts for basic protection; invest in custom EVA or thermoformed plastic for high-value items.
  4. Align with brand values: Choose sustainable options (FSC paper, biodegradable foam) or premium finishes (velvet-lined trays for luxury goods).
  5. Test prototypes: Verify fit, stability, and aesthetics (e.g., blister clarity for product visibility) before bulk production.

How to confirm the size of the inserts for customized boxes?

  1. Measure product dimensions precisely (length/width/height) using calipers or 3D scans, accounting for irregular shapes or fragile components.
  2. Align with packaging cavity: Deduct 2-5mm from the box’s inner size for snug inserts (e.g., 100mm box → 98mm insert to avoid over-tight fits).
  3. Factor in material thickness: Foam/EVA expands under compression; paper inserts require precise die-cutting to match product contours.
  4. Optimize cost with modular designs: Use adjustable partitions (e.g., scored paper inserts) to accommodate multiple product variants without retooling.
  5. Validate via prototypes: Test sample inserts for fit, stability, and protection (e.g., drop tests) before finalizing bulk production specs.
