In short
Custom box inserts are shaped pieces of paperboard, corrugated board, foam or molded pulp that sit inside a box to hold products in place, protect them and present them. Box Sense makes them from 10 inserts, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our box inserts & dividers
The insert is what stops a product rattling, breaking or arriving out of place, and what makes an opened box look arranged. It is often the difference between a damaged shipment and a clean unboxing.
We design inserts around your product and box, in the material that suits its weight and fragility, and supply them with the box or on their own, from 10 inserts.
Insert types
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paperboard | Light retail products | Recyclable, prints to match the box |
| Corrugated | Bottles, jars and heavier items | Cushioning and strength |
| EVA or PE foam | Fragile and high-value products | Precise, cushioned cavities |
| Molded pulp | Plastic-free protection | Made from paper fiber |
What affects the price of box inserts & dividers
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Material. Paperboard and corrugated are the most economical; foam costs more; molded pulp has tooling but a low unit cost at volume.
- Complexity. More cavities and layers mean more design and cutting.
- Covering. Fabric or printed coverings add cost.
- Quantity. The unit price falls as quantity rises.
