A parcel fails in three ways. The product rattles and cracks. The unboxing looks like every other delivery. Or the carton arrives opened and resealed. Each one costs you a refund or a repeat customer.

Custom inserts, tissue and tape fix all three as one system. The insert holds the product still. The tissue wraps it and carries your brand. The tape seals the carton and shows if anyone has touched it.

Product Boxes UK makes every part to your product size and brand colours. It suits e-commerce founders, procurement managers and logistics leads who ship every day and want fewer damaged orders. Order the three together and the whole pack matches, from the first fold of tissue to the last strip of tape.

Precision Internal Inserts That Stop Movement

Most transit damage comes from movement. A product that slides hits the walls and everything near it. A bespoke insert removes the gap.

Die-cut corrugated board. Bespoke cardboard packaging inserts are cut from E-flute or B-flute board to the outline of your product. They suit cosmetics, candles and boxed accessories. They are light and low cost and they go in household cardboard recycling.

Moulded pulp trays. Pressed fibre trays hold bottles and jars in shaped pockets. They absorb knocks well and suit glass and cosmetic ranges.

Anti-static EVA foam. Firm EVA cut to a device gives electronics a close fit. Anti-static grades reduce static build-up but are not the same as full ESD protection. For bare circuit boards or sensitive parts tell us before you order.

A note on eco foam. Buyers often ask for eco friendly die cut foam inserts. The honest answer is that foam is the least recyclable choice. Use board or pulp wherever the product allows and keep foam for fragile or high-value items.

Fit matters more than thickness. Measure the product and add a small clearance. Cosmetics need pockets that stop bottles rolling. Glassware needs a separate cell for each piece. Electronics need room for cables so nothing scratches the screen. Our custom mailer boxes can be sized around the insert so the two fit together.

To specify an insert send the length, width, height and weight. Test a packed sample with a real drop before you reorder.

Branded Tissue Paper and Water-Activated Security Tape

Branded Tissue Paper

Tissue is the cheapest way to make a box feel designed. It wraps the product and stops surfaces rubbing. It hides the contents until the customer opens the box and it replaces loose void fill such as crumpled paper.

We print acid-free tissue in 17 to 28 GSM. Acid-free paper is gentler on jewellery and fabrics. Choose a lighter weight for clothing and a heavier weight for items with sharp edges. Print a repeat pattern or a logo in one colour or full colour. We match your brand colour with Pantone so tissue and cartons sit well together. Custom printed tissue paper wholesale UK orders suit brands that ship every day and want every parcel to match.

Water-Activated Security Tape

Pressure-sensitive tape sits on the surface of the carton. It can be sliced and replaced with little trace. Water-activated tape does not behave that way. The gum soaks into the corrugated fibres as it dries and removing it tears the board. That makes tampering and theft easy to spot.

Reinforced gummed paper tape adds fibreglass threads for heavier cartons. Common widths are 48 mm and 72 mm. Custom printed water activated tape carries your logo along every seam and turns a plain seal into branding. The tape is paper based, so check local recycling guidance for reinforced types.

One practical point. Water-activated tape needs a dispenser that wets the gum. Check your packing bench has one before you switch.

Match Your Packaging Accessories to the Box

Inserts, tissue and tape are custom branded packaging accessories UK brands can order alongside their cartons. They work best when sized to the box around them. If your products are fragile or high in value, see our branded protective packaging for stronger outer cartons and extra cushioning. For the full range of boxes and accessories, browse our custom packaging solutions UK hub. Start with the box size then fit the insert and tissue to it. Ordering the whole pack from one supplier keeps colours consistent from carton to tape.

Wholesale Supply Terms

Start small and scale up. Low minimum order quantities let you test an insert or a tissue design before you commit to a full run. Flexible short runs suit seasonal editions and new product launches. Larger runs bring the cost per unit down with volume pricing, and price breaks are shown on your quote. Reorders keep the same sizes and artwork so repeat orders stay simple.

Brands that ship every week can schedule repeat runs so packaging never holds up dispatch. Delivery is UK-wide.
