When your product (or your client’s product) leaves your facility, it goes on a demanding journey before it reaches your target consumer. Whether you need to protect fragile electronics, delicate glassware, or high-value items, you’ll want to lower the risk of damage in transit—that’s where custom box inserts become indispensable.
Custom box inserts are an engineered solution that gently and precisely cradles your products to ensure they arrive secure and intact (regardless of any bumps they encounter along the way). They also play a crucial role in product presentation. When customers unbox your product, the labels are intact, the glass is undamaged, and the quality and care of your brand are reflected.
Here’s why you should consider custom box inserts a critical component of your packaging strategy. If you want to stand out in a competitive market, custom box inserts with the help of Premier Paper Converting Machinery will get you there!

Diverse Machinery for Customized Packaging Solutions
Each of our machines can play a role in creating custom box inserts. Here’s a little bit more on what each machine can do.
Fiber Stripping Machine
Fiber stripping machines can quickly process fiber material rolls into strips for use in packaging and product support structures. PPCM fiber stripping machines have a reputation for precision, even in high-volume production.
For custom packaging inserts, fiber strips are used to create protective layers and inserts that offer stability and cushioning. Fiber strips are also recyclable, making them a savvy choice for eco-conscious businesses.
Corrugated Die Cutting Machine
Corrugated die-cutting machines use different-sized dies to cut, shape, and score corrugated cardboard into specific configurations. Our machines are robust and versatile—able to handle different thicknesses and sizes of corrugated materials, essential for customized packaging solutions.
Corrugated die-cutting machines allow you to create custom-designed inserts that fit specific product dimensions. Partition inserts help secure and separate products within the larger box, insulating them against damage during shipping.
Production Assembler
Our PPCM Production Assembler is right at home in high-volume production. When you need speed and reliability, the Production Assembler gets it done with style. This machine is the go-to option for packaging beer, wine, and glassware. It’s a popular choice for items that need optimal protection.
The production assembler has a high production output. It allows users to efficiently assemble partitions to fit precisely around each delicate item. Minimize movement, prevent breakage and label damage with protective custom box inserts.
Multi-Cell Assembler
For industries that handle smaller, more delicate items, such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the Multi-Cell Assembler is a versatile solution. Multi-cell box inserts protect breakable items with precise positioning to carefully prevent damage.
Create up to 100 cell partitions and custom cardboard inserts at a minimum height of 1.5″ and up. Customize configurations with attention to detail, ensuring the integrity of your valuable products upon delivery.
Jumbo Assembler
For larger products, such as those used in the automotive industry, the Jumbo Assembler can handle the job. The robust design accommodates the creation of partitions that can provide product protection for bulky, heavy components.
The Jumbo Assembler is a go-to machine for large-scale partitions. It can handle big jobs efficiently and easily—no need for manual partition assembly that can take up your team’s time and energy.
Full-Auto Assembler
If you need reliable automation for your box partition assembly, then look no further than Premier’s Full Automatic Partition Assembler. For streamlined production, the Full Automatic Partition Assembler helps you fabricate and assemble box inserts and partitions using two fiber chipboard rolls.
This machine exclusively handles fiber rolls, automating the entire process from roll to finished product without the need for manual intervention. While it is limited to fiber material, its high-speed assembly and minimal labor requirements make it a cost-effective solution for large-scale operations.
Choosing the Right Materials
Beyond the right machine for your custom box inserts and partitions, you must choose the right type of material. Most of PPCM’s offerings are compatible with standard materials, although some machines may require additional tooling or configuration.
- Corrugated Sheets: Corrugated sheets are ideal for durability and have excellent cushioning properties, making them suited for heavier, rugged items. Cut and fold corrugated sheets into a range of shapes and sizes.
- Fiber Rolls: Fiber rolls are a lighter, more flexible solution ideal for preventing most product movement within a box. Fiber rolls are particularly easy to shape, and their smooth surface is great for delicate items.
Technical Innovations in Packaging Machinery
All of the PPCM machines are user-friendly, with digital controls and touch screens. This technology has truly revolutionized packaging customization, making the creation process precise and efficient.
Operators can use digital controls to adjust parameters quickly and accurately. Micro-adjustments ensure that products are packaged perfectly and securely. There is no more guesswork or “good enough” assumptions.
The technology in our machines is intuitive and easy to use. Select options and input dimensions, and switch between customization modes with minimal training. The visual aspect of screens allows operators to monitor the process with instant feedback and alerts should they need to adjust.
Technology also improves the safety of all manufacturing operations. All our machines include safety features to protect operators and to ensure that customization doesn’t come at the expense of operational integrity. Emergency stop buttons, guards, sensors, and automatic shutoffs prevent accidents, allowing full control over the process each step of the way.
