Custom Foam, Moulded Pulp and Cardboard Inserts

The outer box takes the knocks. The insert decides whether the product moves. A product that cannot move is much less likely to break.

Outer Boxes

• E-flute (single-wall, thin): a fine, smooth board that prints well. Good for compact cartons and lighter products.
• B-flute (single-wall, thicker): more cushioning and better stacking strength for medium-weight items.
• Double-wall (BC or EB flute): two layers of board for heavy products, long journeys and pallet loads.
• Kraft-faced corrugated: a natural brown finish that suits natural and handmade brands.

Inserts Cut to Fit

• Die-cut cardboard: holds the product in place and keeps items apart. Light, low cost and easy to recycle.
• EVA or EPE foam: soft, shock-absorbing and cut to the exact shape of your product. Best for valuable or delicate items.
• Moulded pulp trays: fibre-based and shaped into compartments, a good fit for bottles, jars and cosmetics.
• Corrugated dividers: keep several items apart in one carton.

A good insert fills the empty space around the product, so you need less bubble wrap and loose fill. Thicker is not always better. The right box protects your product without adding weight and packing time.

Custom Protective Packaging for Electronics UK

Electronics need more than a plain brown carton. Impact, vibration and movement can all damage a device, and a loose cable or accessory can scratch a screen. Our custom protective packaging for electronics UK is made around your product’s real layout, with a space for each part.

• Phones, tablets, headphones and gadgets: a fitted foam or cardboard insert with a cut-out for each item and accessory
• Smart home devices and small appliances: a double-wall carton with a tray and end protection
• Cables, chargers and boxed accessories: corrugated dividers to keep them from rattling

One thing to know: standard foam is not anti-static. If your product is sensitive to static, such as circuit boards or sensors, tell us when you ask for a quote, so we can discuss suitable materials.

Glassware, Cosmetics and Fragile Goods

Glass bottles, jars, ceramics and cosmetic containers break when they touch each other. A moulded pulp tray or a die-cut insert with a compartment for each item stops that. For heavier glass, use a double-wall box with a thicker divider.

If your products travel in damp conditions, tell us. We can discuss a suitable lining or inner wrap to go with the box.

Test Before You Scale Up

A box that looks strong on the table can behave differently in a parcel network. Before a big order, ask for a sample or a small first batch, pack real products, and drop-test it yourself. If something moves, we can adjust the insert before you order more.

Custom Packaging for Small Business UK

Small and new businesses need professional packaging without a huge order. With no minimum, you can order custom packaging for small business UK needs in the quantity you actually need, whether that is fifty boxes for a product launch or a few hundred for a monthly shipment. That lets you:

• Test a new product with real customers before committing to a big run
• Fine-tune an insert until it fits perfectly
• Brand your parcels from your very first order

Boxes arrive flat, so they take up little storage space until you pack them.

Protective Packaging Wholesale

When your orders grow, our protective packaging wholesale service gives you larger runs and a lower cost per box. Every box in a big run is printed and cut to match, so your parcels look the same in every delivery.

When you compare quotes, look past the price of an empty box. Add up the full cost of a packed order: the box, the insert, the time spent packing, the shipping charge and the cost of replacing damaged goods. A slightly dearer box that stops returns often costs less overall.

How to Order

1. Email us with your product’s length, width, height and weight.
2. Tell us what could damage it: knocks, movement, damp or stacking.
3. Send your logo and artwork, or ask for a template with the exact box measurements.
4. We suggest a box and insert, send a quote, then print and deliver across the UK.
