What are Partitions?
A partition is a pre-cut, slotted piece of chipboard or corrugated cardboard. Partitions can either be made of foam or stiff, flat recycled paper. Partition pieces are often custom-made to fit a box or the product that they are protecting. When the parts are stuck together and placed inside a box, they divide the box into neat sections. This creates a custom box insert that serves the purpose of keeping individual products safe and secure at all times during transit. Cells along the outer wall of a box are left empty, providing an extra space to cushion any impact that may occur during shipping.
Corrugated box dividers made of cardboard are cut to line the boxes horizontally. These sheets offer additional padding and side crush resistance, strengthen the top and bottom walls, and separate corrugated partition layers within the box.
Why Choose Box Partitions Instead of Bubble Wrap?
Partitions offer the highest possible levels of protection available during the shipping process. They help to guarantee that every single product has individual protection in durable, flexible corrugated box dividers. Companies that ship fragile items such as glass, medical supplies, perfumes, wines, or spirits almost always use partitions to protect their stock during transport.
Not only do partition dividers protect items, but they also keep products, and this helps to avoid contamination or breakage. Partitions also help to add stacking strength to a box while making it easier to count items and know exactly how many are contained within the box. Because boxes are often stacked together during shipment, partitions are an excellent way or guaranteeing support throughout periods of stacking when heavier items may be placed on top of them.
