Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom corrugated boxes with inserts used for?
Custom corrugated boxes with inserts are used when multiple products need to stay organized, separated, and better protected inside one package.
What should be checked before approving a box with insert sample?
Before approval, buyers should check product fit, cavity clearance, product removal space, insert height, lid closing, print alignment, QR code readability, product movement, assembly workflow, and final packing method.
How much clearance should be left around each product?
Clearance depends on product size, surface sensitivity, product weight, loading method, and whether the item needs tight positioning or easy removal.
When should I choose paperboard, corrugated, molded pulp, or EVA foam inserts?
Paperboard inserts are useful for lightweight retail sets and printed presentation. Corrugated inserts are better for stronger separation and deeper cavities.
Can one insert hold products with different sizes and weights?
Yes, but the insert layout should be designed around each product’s size, weight, height, surface sensitivity, and loading order.
Do I need drop testing for boxes with inserts?
Drop testing or sample transit testing may be recommended when the package contains fragile items, glass bottles, electronics, high-value products, or courier-shipped goods.
Can the outer box and insert both be printed?
Yes. The outer corrugated box can include outside printing, inside printing, brand messages, QR codes, and campaign artwork.
Will the boxes and inserts be shipped assembled?
To reduce international freight volume, outer corrugated boxes usually ship flat, while inserts are packed flat, nested, stacked, or pre-assembled depending on the material.
How do you prevent products from moving during shipping?
Product movement can be reduced by adjusting cavity size, tray height, insert material, bottom support, top clearance, buffer zones, and outer carton strength.
What information do you need for a quote?
Please send your product sizes, product weights, number of items, preferred layout, insert material, printing needs, order quantity, packing method, and delivery country.
