Why You Need Custom Shipping Inserts

Why You Need Custom Shipping Inserts

When you think about shipping your product, the box is probably the first thing that comes to mind. But what’s inside that box matters just as much. Custom shipping inserts are a smart way to keep your products safe and make sure they look great when they arrive. Whether you're shipping delicate medical tools, aerospace parts, or premium consumer goods, inserts help your product show up in one piece and looking its best. 

Keeping Your Products Safe with Custom Shipping Inserts 

The reality is, shipping can be rough. Packages get tossed around, stacked, and bumped along the way. Without the right protection, your product could shift in the box, get scratched, or even break. That’s where custom inserts come in. 

 Made from foam, cardboard, plastic, or molded pulp, these inserts are designed specifically for your product. They cushion and secure every piece, absorbing shock and reducing the risk of damage. No matter the size, shape, or weight of your item, M-Line can create a custom shipping insert solution that holds your product firmly in place from the moment it leaves the warehouse to the minute it’s unpacked. 

 

Designed for Your Industry 

Your product is unique, and your packaging should be, too. That’s why we work with you to design custom shipping inserts that are fully customized with materials and layouts that meet industry-specific requirements. 

 Whether you’re in medical, aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated field, we can create custom shipping inserts that meet your exact standards. Need to pack a kit with lots of delicate parts? No problem. We can design compartments for each piece so everything stays exactly where it should. 

 Some of the solutions we offer: 

  • Die cuts for complex shapes 
  • High tear resistance and vibration dampening 
  • Lightweight inserts to keep shipping costs down 
  • Foam, cardboard, or molded plastic trays 
  • Inserts that fit kits, bottles, and oddly-shaped items 

 

A Better Unboxing Experience 

Custom shipping inserts don’t just protect—they impress. When your product arrives neatly organized and easy to unpack, it sends a message: this brand cares about quality. 

 That polished presentation goes a long way, especially if you sell directly to consumers. Full-color printed inserts add a branded touch that turns a simple unboxing into a memorable moment. And on the practical side, custom shipping inserts can streamline packing and reduce errors at your fulfillment center. 

 

Delivers More for Your Money 

Custom shipping inserts may have a slightly higher upfront cost than generic filler materials—but they’re a smart investment. They help reduce product damage, which means fewer returns and less hassle. Custom inserts also simplify your packing process, saving time and reducing labor costs. More efficient packaging can also help lower shipping expenses and minimize material waste. 

 With custom shipping inserts, you’re not just protecting your product—you’re delivering a better experience and reinforcing your brand’s quality. Ready to take your packaging to the next level? Contact M-Line today and let’s create a custom insert solution that fits your product and your goals.
