Every fragile bottle you ship faces risks during transit. Cardboard partition inserts offer a simple, eco-friendly way to protect your goods, lower costs, and meet sustainability goals. When you choose fiberboard partitions tailored for your products, you combine strength with light weight. Good news, you don’t need to sacrifice performance for planet-friendly packaging.
Premier Packaging Products has been innovating in this space since 2008 and now runs a 22,000 square-foot plant in Sacramento to meet demand nationwide (Premier Packaging Products). Whether you handle wine, spirits, or delicate food items, a proper partition system can cut breakage and waste, keeping your supply chain lean and reliable.
Cardboard partition inserts are dividers made from rigid paperboard that fit inside boxes or crates. They create individual cells for each item, stopping bottles or jars from colliding during shipping. In simple terms, they turn a single large cavity into multiple protective pockets.
Each solution balances protection, cost, and environmental impact. You can pick the style that best fits your product fragility and budget.
Fiberboard partitions keep items from shifting and absorbing shocks. In trials with similar packaging systems, breakage rates can drop by over half when partitions are used correctly.
Protecting goods reduces returns and replacement shipments. You’ll spend less on reorders and customer claims. Plus, lightweight paperboard cuts your freight bills, since many carriers price by weight.
Paperboard is renewable and widely recyclable. By choosing inserts made from post-consumer recycled fiber, you support circular packaging and help meet your company’s eco-goals.
Balanced view: if you use overly thick partitions, you may add weight and cost. Testing different wall grades helps you find the sweet spot between protection and efficiency.
| Feature | Standard inserts | Custom inserts |
|---|---|---|
| Cell dimensions | Fixed sizes (e.g. 2ʺ, 3ʺ) | Tailored to your bottle or jar dimensions |
| Minimum order | Lower, ready-to-ship volumes | Often higher, but you get exact fit and branding options |
| Lead time | 1–2 weeks | 2–4 weeks (depending on complexity) |
Good news, you can mix and match thickness and finish to balance strength, appearance, and sustainability.
You might start with off-the-shelf dividers, then move to custom designs as volumes grow. If you need tailored solutions, explore our custom cardboard dividers for precise fits and brand messaging.
Since 2008, Premier Packaging Products has served sectors from wine and cosmetics to electronics and healthcare. In 2025 they opened a West Coast facility in Sacramento, extending their reach and speeding delivery.
They operate a 22,000 square-foot plant equipped with advanced converting technologies and modern production systems to ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency (Premier Packaging Products). Automated cutting, scoring, and gluing lines help produce high volumes with tight tolerances.
With facilities on both the East and West Coasts, you benefit from shorter transit times and steady stock. Whether you ship to California or New York, you can expect reliable delivery and the same quality standards nationwide.
