Cardboard Inserts

Cardboard Inserts That Actually Lock Your Product in Place

The biggest waste of money in shipping is using a box that’s too big and filling the gap with plastic peanuts or bubble wrap. It looks unprofessional and the product still gets beat up. At BoxBaba, we design custom cardboard inserts that act like a glove for your product. We do all our engineering and manufacturing in the USA, so you don’t have to wait months for a prototype that might not even fit your latest version.

No More Rattling or Broken Parts

If your product moves, it breaks. We create custom-cut “cradles” and dividers that keep everything stationary. Whether you’re shipping a heavy glass bottle, a delicate electronics board, or a multi-part skincare set, our inserts ensure that even if the delivery driver tosses the box, the product stays centered. We use high-density corrugated or SBS board that provides “crush zones” to absorb impact before it reaches your item.

Stop Using Plastic and Bubble Wrap

Customers hate digging through a mountain of plastic to find what they bought. It’s a mess to clean up and it’s bad for the planet. Cardboard inserts give you a “premium” unboxing experience without the waste. We can design “multi-level” inserts that hide the cables and manuals at the bottom while putting the main product front and center. Everything is 100% recyclable, so your customers can just toss the whole package into the blue bin.

Precision Dielines That Don’t Require Glue

Most of our inserts are designed to be “friction-fit.” This means they ship flat to save you warehouse space and then pop into shape with a couple of folds. You don’t need to mess with tape or hot glue guns on the assembly line. We precision-cut the dielines so the tabs lock in tight. This speeds up your packing process—your team can “snap and go” instead of wrestling with rolls of plastic wrap.

Fast USA Prototypes and Shipping

Products change. If you update your bottle shape or add a new component to your kit, you need new inserts now. Since BoxBaba is based in the USA, we can get you a physical prototype in days, not weeks. We work with startups on low minimums for their first production run, but we also handle high-volume industrial orders. You get a direct line to the people actually cutting the cardboard, so you know the fit will be perfect.
