Start with the product contact points

Identify the surfaces that can rest against an insert and the areas that need clearance. Consider product removal, accessory storage and the fit inside the outer box before choosing a material.

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

  • Product drawing

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.
