Stock, coatings, and inserts
Material choice follows shelf impression, ship protection, or pouch barrier. For cardboard inserts, we start from product-name cues and Cardboard Boxes norms, then confirm on quote.
Paperboard defaults
Solid bleached sulfate (SBS) and similar folding carton boards are a strong default for cardboard boxes when you want bright CMYK or Pantone color on cardboard inserts. Caliper follows product weight on the quote.
Muted print surfaces
When brand story leans natural, kraft faces or limited-color print keep cardboard inserts simple and on-message without inventing unstated certifications.
Print, color, and brand control
Bring brand guidelines when you have them. Elm Packaging still issues a proof before production so cardboard inserts print and cut stay in register.
