Inserts and Protective Packaging: Paperboard, Molded Pulp, Blister and Filler Options

Inserts are often the hidden part of packaging, but they decide whether the product arrives safely and looks organized inside the box.

Paperboard inserts

Paperboard inserts are cut and folded from paperboard. They are lightweight, printable and practical for simple shapes such as tubes, jars and small sets.

Molded pulp and blister trays

Molded pulp gives a natural protective direction and can replace some plastic trays. Blister and thermoformed trays hold products precisely and can make the product visible.

Filler and foam

Paper filler improves the unboxing look but is not enough for heavy or fragile products. Foam and EVA provide stronger cushioning for premium or fragile goods but may not fit every sustainability goal.

Practical recommendation

Choose the insert based on movement control, product fragility, brand feeling and quantity. Test the real product before approving mass production.
