Beauty and Jewelry Brands \/ Insert RFQ<\/p>\n

Define recycled board performance before quoting<\/h2>\n

By Vivi Lu | Ecoicolor Sales Manager<\/p>\n

A paperboard insert is not defined by cavity size alone. Product weight, board direction, fold geometry, finger access and the outer-box fit determine whether the insert supports packing and removal.<\/p>\nReview a paperboard insert RFQ<\/a>\nPlan an insert sample<\/a><\/div>\n

Buyer Summary<\/h2>\n

Prepare the paperboard insert RFQ from the product outward. Provide product weight, dimensions, orientation and removal direction; outer-box internal dimensions; preferred board route; quantity; packing sequence; and document requirements. Recycled content or paper sourcing should be described only to the level supported by the selected material and project records.<\/p><\/section>\n

Start with product weight and removal direction<\/h2>\n

A cavity can match the product outline and still be difficult to pack or remove. Product weight changes how much support the base and side walls need. Removal direction determines whether the buyer needs a finger notch, pull tab, open side or exposed grip area. These choices should be shown on the first product map rather than added after the die-cut sample.<\/p>\n

Choose fold direction before finalizing the cut line<\/h2>\n

Paperboard and corrugated routes resist load differently along folds, scores and flutes. Place the main support walls and locking tabs so the material works with the product load. A narrow tab or short slot can tear during assembly even when the flat drawing looks clean.<\/p>\n

Design the removal cutout around hands and labels<\/h2>\n

A finger notch should allow removal without exposing too much product or weakening a support wall. Avoid placing the notch where a hand will rub printed decoration, a fragile cap or a required label. If the product has several components, identify the intended removal order so one item does not block another.<\/p>\n

Finger access<\/h3>\n

Show the hand or finger direction on the drawing and test it with the intended product orientation.<\/p><\/section>\n

Retention<\/h3>\n

Use enough edge support to hold the item during pack-out and normal handling without making removal awkward.<\/p><\/section>\n

Label clearance<\/h3>\n

Keep cut edges, tabs and rubbing points away from product labels and decorated surfaces.<\/p><\/section><\/div>\n

\"Paper<\/a><\/figure>\n
The insert and outer box should be sampled together because internal dimensions control fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n

Scope recycled-content and paper documents carefully<\/h2>\n

En 4evergreen Circularity by Design Guideline<\/a>1<\/a><\/sup><\/span> provides design-for-circularity guidance for fiber-based packaging. Use that guidance as context, then review the actual board, coatings, adhesives, printing and separation route selected for the project. Do not treat the word recycled as a substitute for a documented material specification.<\/p>\n

If FSC documentation is requested, use FSC chain of custody<\/a>2<\/a><\/sup><\/span> to understand chain-of-custody scope. Availability and claim wording depend on the selected material route, supplier records and the project. Confirm the exact document requirement before quotation rather than promising a generic certificate for every insert.<\/p>\n

Material selection should follow product weight, protection, presentation and document needs.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n
