Use folds and slots purposefully

Map the product positions and specify where support is required. Review the board, folds and assembly steps together so the insert fits the outer box and can be packed consistently.

Review the insert inside the box

Check the assembled pack with the real product or an agreed equivalent. Assess movement, clearance and ease of removal, and confirm the sample or validation needed for the intended handling conditions.

Details to include in your inquiry

Questions about this packaging

Should the insert be designed before or after the outer box?

Review them together. The product layout determines useful cavity space, while the outer box limits the finished insert dimensions and affects how the pack is assembled.
