Plastic box inserts
If you need to improve the efficiency of your handling, transport or storage, adding container inserts to your tote boxes or returnable packaging can make a significant difference.
Container inserts, including divider sets, foam, and moulded plastic trays, help to improve the efficiency and protection of returnable transit packaging. Typically used in Euro containers and tote boxes, plastic box inserts can reduce damage by preventing the movement of parts within the outer container. They can also increase staff productivity through quicker packing and unpacking, whilst higher part density also improves transport efficiency.
At GWP Correx®, we have been manufacturing plastic insert packaging for more than 25 years. Our expert team and manufacturing capability allow us to tailor your dunnage and inserts precisely to your application.

FAQs
What types of container inserts are available?
There are four main types of container inserts available. These are Correx®-based inserts, including division sets, layer pads, custom-designed items, moulded plastic and vacuum-formed inserts, foam dunnage, and single-trip options such as corrugated cardboard inserts.
Can plastic box inserts help improve staff productivity?
Reusable plastic box inserts, such as Correx® dividers, foam inserts, and even layer pads, can significantly impact your business’s productivity and efficiency. It allows multiple items to be transported more easily in a single container, maximising available space, and also aids packing and unpacking processes.
Can container inserts help prevent damage during handling?
By minimising the movement of parts within the outer container, inserts, and dividers can significantly reduce damage caused by mishandling. However, foam or Bubble board dividers can provide extra protection for especially sensitive or delicate parts, including those with specialist surface finishes, that may get scuffed or scratched.
Is it best to source outer containers and inserts together?
Sourcing your handling containers and appropriate inserts together can provide several benefits. Advantages include lower costs, shorter lead times, reduced admin and ordering processes, and – crucially – improved compatibility and fit. However, GWP can create inserts for containers you may have already purchased from other sources.
Are container inserts suitable for static-sensitive items?
If you are in the electronics industry or manufacture parts or equipment that heavily utilise PCBs or other similar items, you will be well aware of the potential damage caused by static charges. Your inserts and dividers can help with this, with options for a wide range of ESD-safe foams and conductive materials (including Corstat® and Corriplast).
