Many business owners rely on standard box dividers and chipboard partitions for their interior box packaging, without giving much thought to the effectiveness that chipboard layer pads can add to their packaging process. Our team here at General Partition Company, Inc. offers a vast selection of box partitions and chipboard layer pads for customers who need reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective packaging materials. Our company’s mission is to help you find and select the packaging materials that are best for your operation’s shipping needs.
Advantages of Chipboard Layer Pads
Depending on your business and product, there are several benefits that come with the use of chipboard layer pads. Some of the advantages include:
1. Box Leveling. If you are using a shipper that does not have square dimensions it leaves an area in between the bottom flaps that is significantly lower than the rest of the box. Placing a chipboard or corrugated layer pad into the bottom of the box will give you a nice level surface to begin placing your desired packaging materials on.
2. Layering. If you want your packaging to have a more than one layer of products chipboard layer pads are your go to choice. Placing a chipboard layer pad on top of each box partition allows you to add as many layers as you desire, die-cut inserts are the shipping product of choice.
3. Fit oddly shaped cartons. When using a carton that is shaped differently such as an octagonal or circular shaped box, the layer pads can be die cut to fit the necessary layout needed. This will usually require a specialty die to be designed.
4. Top Off. In many cases it is necessary to place a layer pad on top of your chipboard partition before closing the box up for shipment. This provides added protection to your product by capping off the open cells and protecting the box the from the top. In other cases, we will use corrugated layer pads to fill leftover space at the top of a box. This stops your products from jumping up and down inside the partition during the shipping process.
We offer custom cut layer pads in all sizes and materials including all thicknesses of chipboard as well as SBS, poly coated chipboard, corrugated and more Although chipboard layer pads are a very simple form of packaging, they are a huge help to manufacturers of all types of products. They are a cost effective solution and the results are well worth it. Many businesses rely on layer pads for many of their shipping needs due to their versatility and durability. At General Partition Company, Inc., we can help you weigh your options and decide whether layer pads are a good choice for any of your packaging and shipping needs.
