Custom Product Inserts

Features of Custom Product Inserts at Packaging Mania

At Packaging Mania, we believe a brand should put the same efforts into their packaging as they have put in their quality products. What if they want to store multiple items in the same box or ensure the safety of their fragile or delicate items? This is where we step in and play our part, with 100% customizable and eco-friendly custom product inserts that ensure an excellent unboxing for our beloved customers.

Materials

We craft these inserts with both corrugated (wavy lines in cardboard) material and non-corrugated ones. Corrugated inserts are used for heavier or fragile items, and are sturdy in nature to provide enough cushioning to the product during transit. Common options include E-flute inserts that come with a thickness of 1.2-2mm, and B-flute that work perfectly for heavy items, offering a thickness of 2.5-3mm. The designs are first printed on the base materials and then sticked to the corrugated board. White (CCNB paper) and Brown Kraft (unbleached paper) are the most preferred papers for corrugated inserts.

Our non-corrugated box inserts are paper-based and light in weight, perfect for non-fragile items, with a standard thickness of 300-400 GSM and options including white SBS paper and brown Kraft paper ideal for black or white print. To keep the items secure during transit, our foam inserts made of PE or PU foam boast perfect shock absorption properties and lend excellent product cushioning.

Prints, Coats & Finishes

Considering the needs of eco-conscious brands and customers, we use soy-based inks to produce vibrant results and further coat them with printed designs to protect against scratches and scuffs. Finishes we can apply on your custom product inserts include matte, glossy, satin, and soft-touch.

Types of Inserts

We use different types of inserts for your packaging based on the type of function you want to achieve. Here are some of the common types we offer:

• Foam inserts: Mostly used for protecting fragile items like medical devices or electronics. Made of foam for a perfect snug-fit and designed as per the size of your product.
• Molded inserts: Used for bulk or heavy items such as automotive parts or industrial components, and made of plastic or molded pulp.
• Corrugated Inserts: Made of durable cardboard and best for holding items during shipping or storage.
• Fence or Punch Partitions: The first ones are used to secure individual items in a large diplayor, whereas the latter ones are used for creating opening that can be used for inserting specific items.

What are Custom Inserts A Must-Have for Brands?

Designing these inserts with brand-specific details can amp up the brand’s professional image and elevate the unboxing experience. The end result? A houseful of happy customers, more positive customer reviews, and social media shares. In addition, putting brand insights on them not only helps to grab instant attention but also reinforces the brand’s identity while creating an overall cohesive look and adding to the product’s perceived value in the market. These inserts serve as an affordable means for brands to showcase the premium quality of their products as the entire design and production can be a bit expensive for SMEs. With inserts, they can still showcase their brand’s story on postcards, stickers or brochures.

At times there are certain packages that might contain more than one item. With custom printed packaging inserts, brands can not only keep things organized and in place but also prevent them from moving inside the box and getting damaged. The main reason why a large number of brands from diverse industries prefer using inserts in their custom boxes is the fact that these are made of eco-friendly materials such as cardboard and corrugated, that align well with sustainable practices and appeal to those that are conscious of the safety of the planet.

Please note that each insert varies in structure depending on the size, weight, and height of the product. Some common paper or cardboard insert structures include the ones with backing or no backing. Inserts with backing can directly be placed at the box base, with no need of elevation. These are ideal for items of same size. Whereas, the ones with no backing are used for items of same size that need some additional support and need to be elevated to fit in the insert.

Investing in custom inserts is always a great idea for brands seeking product safety, a positive market impact, and a better brand image.

Do’s & Don’ts of Desiging Custom Printed Inserts

When designing inserts, you need to take into account the specific needs of the product, ensure a snug fit for secure transit, design them thoughfully with unboxing in mind, and provide all the useful insights that the audience must know of your brand and the product. Several things not to ignore when designing inserts include:

• The structure should not be complex to navigate or remove.
• There should be no compromise over quality.
• The inserts should not be overused or cluttered in the packaging.
• Consider the needs of the target audience and design the inserts accordingly.

Can Brands Use More than One Insert in Packaging?

Yes. Using a single insert in the box is not a hard-and-fast rule. For instance, there are separate inserts for large orders, for first-time orders, and for orders with multiple products. So, in case you need to make any changes, you can opt for using multiple inserts. In fact, using more than one insert can help brands enjoy higher levels of safety. For fragile items, brands can consider combining both foam and cardboard inserts to provide cushioning as well as structural support to their items. This is quite a genius idea to benefit from both of these materials at the same time.

For packing multiple items of different natures or types, brands can use multiple inserts that help to keep the items separate and secure during transit. At times, there are certain products with intricate shapes, and using inserts can ensure they remain well-protected in any case. The best thing? You can further polish the outlook of these inserts with finishes such as lamination and striking colors that lead to fine unboxing experiences and add to the overall customer satisfaction. All that brands need to do is to strategically use these inserts as per their specific needs, which ensures both product safety and fine display. Feel like ordering them now?
