About Our Custom Inserts
Custom inserts hold products securely and elevate the unboxing presentation. EcoPaperBox manufactures cardboard, foam, EVA, and molded pulp inserts that fit inside boxes of every style.
The right insert prevents movement, reduces damage, and guides customers to each component. We engineer inserts to the exact dimensions of your product.
At EcoPaperBox we treat custom insert as part of your brand, not just a container. Our team reviews your product dimensions, weight, and shipping method before recommending a structure, so the finished box protects the item and presents it well from shelf to unboxing.
Popular Custom Insert Styles We Manufacture
- Cardboard Inserts - Printed or plain dividers and platforms.
- Foam Inserts - Soft cushioning cut to product shape.
- EVA Inserts - Durable closed cell inserts with cavities.
- Molded Pulp Inserts - Compostable inserts for sustainability.
- Blister Inserts - Thermoform trays for retail display.
- Corrugated Platforms - Support layers for heavier items.
Materials and Construction
We use recycled cardboard, polyethylene foam, EVA, and molded pulp. Materials are chosen for protection, weight, and environmental goals.
Construction is matched to the product journey. Lightweight items use thinner board to save freight, while heavy or fragile items use reinforced walls, double walls, or rigid board with internal support. Every structure is tested for stacking and transit before we approve it for production.
Customization, Printing and Finishing
Every insert is cut to a CAD spec from your sample or drawing. We match colors, add printing, and combine materials in one solution.
Industries We Serve
We serve electronics, cosmetics, medical, gift, and subscription box brands.
How to Choose the Right Custom Insert
Start by measuring the product and noting its heaviest point and most fragile area. Decide whether the box is for retail display, ecommerce shipping, or gifting, because each use changes the priorities. Then choose a closure, a material grade, and the print finish that fits your budget and brand. Our team can shortlist two or three options and supply samples so you compare them in hand.
Quality Control and Protection
Every order is produced under an ISO 9001 aligned quality system. We verify material grammage, print registration, glue strength, and box calibration before shipment. Pre production samples are available so you can confirm structure and artwork before the full run, and our inspection team documents each batch for traceability.
Sustainable and Eco Friendly Packaging
We supply FSC certified paper, recycled content board, and soy based inks on request. Boxes ship flat to reduce freight volume and emissions, and plastic free or compostable options are available for brands with clear sustainability goals.
Our Production Process
We begin with a structural drawing and a plain sample, then move to a printed prototype once the shape is confirmed. After you approve the prototype we schedule mass production, conduct in line inspections, and pack the order for shipment. Throughout the process you receive updates and photographs so there are no surprises at delivery.
Global Shipping and Support
We ship worldwide and work with freight forwarders and couriers to balance speed and cost. Whether you need a small air shipment for a launch or a full container for steady supply, we coordinate documentation and delivery to your door. Reordering is straightforward because we keep your approved structure and artwork on file.
Common Sizes and Configurations
We produce custom insert from small mailer sizes up to large shipping formats, in both standard and fully custom dimensions. Common configurations include tuck end, mailer, rigid, and drawer styles, each available with or without windows and inserts. Share your product size with us and we will recommend the most efficient box dimension to reduce material and freight cost while keeping the product secure.
Certifications and Compliance
Depending on the market, we can supply FSC certified paper, food contact suitable materials, and recycled content board. We follow documented quality procedures and can provide material declarations on request. For regulated categories we add the required labeling space together with tamper evident or child resistant features where the product demands them.
Pricing and Lead Time
Pricing depends on size, material, print coverage, and order quantity, with lower unit costs at higher volumes. Standard sampling takes a short time, and mass production lead times are confirmed after artwork approval. We provide a clear quote that lists every component so there are no hidden charges at the end of the project.
