Any folding carton or rigid box produced by Marion Paper Box Company can contain an insert. Since Marion Paper Box Company facilitates both the design and manufacting of custom inserts, securing your product into your box using a custom insert is our job.
INTRODUCTION TO INSERTS
Custom Box Inserts serve many functions. They hold your products in place, they look nice and add a touch of quality to your packaging; they can be informational, and sometimes are a part of the product themselves. One great example of boxes with Inserts is game boxes. Game box Inserts often have game rules or instructions printed on them while also serving to hold game pieces in place. Some even act as the game board or background. Another example of boxes with Inserts would be jewelry boxes. What woman would want to receive that special ring in a small box where the ring is left to float around inside the box? Jewelry boxes contain Inserts both for securing the jewelry itself, and for dynamic presentation.
Inserts come in all shapes and sizes, and can be made of all sorts of material. At Marion Paper Box Company, the material we use to manufacture your Insert depends on what type of product goes in the box, and the quantity ordered. Marion Paper Box Company representatives are trained to assist you in choosing an Insert that’s ideal for you, your products, and your budget.

BENEFITS OF CUSTOM BOX INSERTS
Stability/Protection
Coins, letter openers, game pieces, and jewelry are just a few of the products for which Marion Paper Box Company manufactures Inserts. Coins, jewelry, and small pieces would be susceptible to loss or damage without being secured in the box. Inserts offer protection and keep your products in place. Let us work with you to design an Insert that will protect and firmly secure your products.
Storing Parts/Pieces
No one wants to play chess when one of the queens is missing. Marion Paper Box Company can design an Insert that acts as a storage case. Your customers will use it again and again to store pieces, making your product more appealing and offering you another great selling point.
Presentation/Appearance
If your products are the star of the show, then Custom Box Inserts are the stage. Inserts can raise, inlay, or isolate your product to enhance the beauty and win the hearts of your customers. Let a Marion Paper Box Company representative work with you to design an Insert that accentuates and highlights the best features of your product.
Informational
Your graphics can be printed or laminated to your Custom Box Insert(s). Game rules and instructions, warnings, assembly instructions, and product warranties are just a few of the things you may need to communicate to your customer. Why pay extra for printing and stuffing pieces of paper that can be easily lost? Whether it’s battery requirements or dosage recommendations, Marion Paper Box Company can print what you need to say on your Custom Box Inserts.

TYPES OF CHIPBOARD CUSTOM BOX INSERTS
Platform Inserts
When you require a filler to raise your product off the bottom of the box, then a Platform Insert can be an effective and inexpensive solution. Platform Inserts are one of the most common Inserts in the industry. They look like a platform resting in the base of the box with either no holes or small pinhead holes cut in them for holding products. A gift certificate box is a common example of a box that contains a Platform Insert with no holes. Often times, though, small slits are cut for holding the corners of the certificate so that it stays in place. Bracelet and cuff link boxes often contain Platform Inserts with pinhead holes, so that all you see when you open the box is the bracelet stretched out in place or the front face of the cuff links. Though, just under the Platform, you would see wires holding the bracelet and the back clasps of the cuff links.
Platform Inserts are manufactured with specialized equipment that does not require a cutting die which helps in keeping your cost low. However, if you require specific die cut patterns or cavities, or registered printing on the surface of your Insert, then you will need a different type of Insert.
Stand-Off Trap Inserts
Stand-Off Trap Inserts are very much like Platform Inserts. However, Stand-Off Trap Inserts have a die cut pattern or patterns, also called cavities, that hold the product in place to keep it stationary. A common example of a box that contains a Stand-Off Trap Insert is a perfume box. The platform style keeps the bottle from resting on the bottom of the box, hence the term “stand-off”, and the cavity holds or “traps” the perfume in the center. Many times the cavity is cut with no or very little breathing room so that the product fits into it snuggly to provide maximum protection.
While most Stand-Off Trap Inserts require a cutting die, more simple styles do not. A Marion Paper Box Company representative can assist you in designing a Stand-Off Trap Insert that’s perfect for you, your products and your budget.
Partition Inserts
 Partition Inserts are ideal for bulk packing items into one box. Their slotted design allows them to work as separators and protectors of each item. Whether you need to keep bottles from clanging together, compartmentalize pieces to a board game, or separate candy pieces, Partition Inserts are a great component to your set-up box.
Partition Inserts are collapsible and can ship flat, or they can be assembled into your custom set-up boxes. Partition Inserts are made of .030 to .050 chipboard, in chip, white, black, or chocolate brown. However, they can also be laminated with colored or printed paper. Let a Marion Paper Box Company representative know the type and quantity of the products you need to pack and they will be happy to assist you in designing the perfect Partition Inserts for you.
Tray Inserts
 Tray Inserts are an inexpensive solution when items of similar size need to be packaged into one box. Tray Inserts are also ideal for holding and separating decks of cards in game boxes. Like Platform Inserts, Tray Inserts do not require tooling or cutting dies so they are ideal for small quantity orders and for saving the budget. No budget worries? Ask about Tray Inserts with hinged covers. The design limits are endless. A Marion Paper Box Company representative can assist you in designing a Tray Insert that’s unique to you and your products.
Most trays are made of .030 to .050 chipboard that comes in chip, white, black, and chocolate brown. Tray Inserts can also be laminated inside and/or outside with colored or printed paper.
Frame-Vue Tray Inserts are an effective way to set your product apart. Requiring a cutting tool for production, these Inserts are considered "higher-end" inserts and are often used in special presentation or event sequencing photographic albums. A Marion Paper Box Company customer service represenative would be happy to provide additional information concerning Frame-Vue Tray Inserts.
Have an idea for an Insert? If none of the above Inserts suit your needs and you have an idea for an Insert that you think will work better for you, then run it by us. If it is a design that we feel we can mass produce, then we’d be happy to do it. Our talented and creative design team and production staff is willing, ready, and able. However, we also know our own limits so someone will let you know, usually within 24 hours, if we are able to manufacture your design or not.
