Why Choose Our Custom Inserts
Custom Packaging Inserts That Protect Products and Perfect Presentation
The insert is the unsung hero of premium packaging — it is the structural element that holds your product in perfect position, prevents damage in transit, and creates the precise product presentation that your brand demands. Branded Boxes produces custom inserts in a range of materials and fabrication methods, from simple cardboard dividers to precision-cut foam and thermoformed trays.
Insert Materials We Work With
We select insert material based on the product's weight, fragility, shape, and the desired presentation quality. Foam inserts (EVA and polyethylene) are used for electronics, cosmetics, and fragile glass products where cushioning is the priority. Cardboard inserts are used for medium-weight products where a cost-effective structural solution is sufficient. Thermoformed plastic inserts provide a precise fit for complex product geometries. Fabric-covered foam inserts add luxury presentation appropriate for jewelry and watches.
Insert Applications
- Electronics and device protection inserts
- Jewelry and watch display inserts
- Cosmetic and fragrance inserts
- Gift set compartmentalization
- Food and confectionery tray inserts
Foam Insert Engineering for Fragile Products
EVA and polyethylene foam inserts are the standard solution for products that require cushioning during shipping. Our foam inserts are precision-cut using CNC routing to the exact dimensions of your product, with cavity depths and wall thicknesses engineered for the specific drop and vibration forces your packaging will experience in transit. Every foam insert design is drop-tested against ISTA or ASTM D4169 standards before production release.
Thermoformed Inserts for Complex Product Shapes
When your product has a complex three-dimensional shape that cannot be accommodated by standard foam cutting, thermoformed plastic inserts provide a precise fit. The thermoforming process heats and molds plastic sheet over a custom tool, creating an insert cavity that exactly matches your product's geometry. This is particularly valuable for cosmetic compacts, medical devices, and consumer electronics with irregular shapes.

Custom Inserts in Connecticut — FAQs
What foam types do you use for packaging inserts?
We primarily use EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam for its excellent cushioning properties, durability, and ease of fabrication. Polyethylene foam is used for heavier applications requiring more structural rigidity. Both are available in multiple densities to tune the cushioning performance for your specific product.
How are foam inserts held in the box?
Foam inserts are typically held in the box by a friction fit to the interior dimensions — the insert is cut slightly larger than the box interior so it compresses slightly when inserted. Double-sided tape is used as a secondary retention method for applications where the foam must not shift under any circumstances.
Can cardboard inserts be produced cost-effectively for small quantities?
Yes. Cardboard inserts are significantly more cost-effective than foam or thermoformed inserts and are appropriate for many product types. Corrugated and solid board inserts can be die-cut from the same run as the outer box, reducing tooling costs.
What is the minimum order for custom foam inserts?
Custom foam inserts typically start at 50 units. CNC routing allows economical production of small quantities without the tooling investment required by die-cutting or thermoforming.
Can inserts be fabric-covered for luxury presentation?
Yes. EVA foam inserts can be wrapped in velvet, faux suede, or other fabric materials for luxury jewelry and accessory packaging presentation. Fabric-covered inserts add significant perceived value to premium packaging.
Do you ship custom packaging to Connecticut?
Yes. We ship to all Connecticut cities. Ground delivery to Hartford and Stamford is 1-2 business days from production.
What is the minimum order for custom boxes in Connecticut?
