Corrugated Inserts and End Caps
Corrugated inserts and corrugated end caps are custom-shaped interior packaging components designed to cradle, block or buffer your product inside a box. Typically made from recyclable corrugated material, these inserts are tailored to match the size and shape of the item being shipped.
Corrugated box inserts can be designed as simple pads, multi-panel wraps or precision-cut forms, while end caps are placed at the ends of a product to absorb impact and prevent shifting.
Key Features and Benefits
Every corrugated packaging insert we produce is designed with both performance and cost-efficiency in mind. These solutions provide:
- Protection from impact: Corrugated inserts help absorb shocks and vibrations during handling and transit, reducing the risk of damage.
- Custom fit: Designed specifically for your product, inserts and end caps improve stability and reduce void space, which can help lower shipping costs.
- Lightweight durability: Corrugated materials offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which keeps overall shipping weight down while offering protection.
As with every custom project at General Packaging Corporation, we begin by learning what you’re packaging and what your goals are. From there, our engineers develop an initial concept, gather your feedback and produce a prototype. Once approved, we move into production with full confidence that your packaging will perform as needed.
