Inserts: the part that turns a carton into a packaging system
An insert is where packaging design actually happens. The carton carries the branding and the logistics data; the insert decides whether the product survives the journey and whether the unboxing feels considered.
We mould pulp inserts from recycled and virgin fiber across the range of formats a packaging engineer is likely to need:
- Single-cavity trays for one product, with clearance drawn for ports, buttons or a protruding element.
- Multi-cavity kits that hold a product plus accessories, with a divider wall between every pocket.
- Two-piece sets - a base tray and a lid tray that together close the product inside a rigid box.
- Foldable inserts pressed flat and closed at the packing station to save inbound freight.
- Layered sets that separate a product from paperwork or a manual.
The material route follows the application: recycled kraft for protection-first industrial work, bagasse for a clean food-facing or retail surface, thermoformed stock for smooth thin walls. All of them press the same way, so the geometry can be reworked without changing the fibre strategy.
MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design; tooling 7–15 days; production 15–25 days after sample approval. Send the product drawing plus the carton internal dimensions, or see the rest of our fiber range.
