FAQs
What are box inserts?
Many businesses use box inserts within outer packaging for various reasons. Inserts can improve the protection of items during transportation, aid packing and unpacking, and improve the presentation of products upon opening.
What types of box inserts are there?
There are a range of box inserts available, including:
- Cardboard divider sets.
- Die cut fittings.
- Layer pads and slip sheets.
- Foam inserts and end-caps.
- Reusable Correx divider sets.
- Vacuum-formed trays.
- Insulated box liners (for chilled packaging).
Are packaging inserts recyclable?
Corrugated cardboard packaging inserts are easily recycled by end-users in UK kerbside bins (or in the appropriate waste streams by B2B customers). Correx inserts and most foams are also recyclable but typically require specialist facilities.
Are box inserts suitable for my products?
It is possible to design and manufacture box inserts that are perfectly tailored to a specific product or application. This approach, rather than using off-the-shelf options, significantly improves appearance and protective performance.
Are box inserts reusable?
Cardboard box inserts are generally for single-trip applications, although they can often be reused if easily collected. End users frequently retain foam and decorative inserts for ongoing storage and protection. Options such as Correx dividers and foam dunnage are ideal for multiple uses as part of a returnable supply chain.

What our customers say:
Our education packs are very popular with teachers and we have hundreds constantly in circulation going out on loan to schools and then being returned. Because many different individuals reuse the boxes, many times, it is important that it is easy and quick to repack so as to minimise the chance of damage occurring in the repacking process. We’re very pleased with the redesign that GWP did for us, as well as the cost reduction achieved.
Danya Walker | Foundation Executive | Dyson
What our customers say:
We knew that GWP had assisted a number of similar organisations, so when we required packaging, we decided to reach out to them. GWP immediately indicated that they could help, and we took delivery of the boxes very quickly. They are absolutely perfect for safely packing the items we ship across the globe and maximising the available space in our shipping containers.
Hannah Pearce | Communications Manager | MMN
What our customers say:
The pack has worked remarkably well. There was some concern that using corrugated alone would protect such a high-value and fragile item, but to date, we have had zero returns due to transit damage. GWP has done a great job.
