Inserts
Custom Thermoformed Insert Tray Sourcing
MOQ: 500 pieces per product / design. Plan the quantity for each design in your brief.
A thermoformed insert tray uses a formed plastic sheet to create cavities around products. PET is one candidate material option for this visual, not a supplier-confirmed resin. Specify the items, cavity layout, tray dimensions and how the tray sits inside the outer box.

The minimum is Packrivo’s project threshold. Availability for the chosen structure, material and finish is checked for your project.
What affects the price
Size
The finished dimensions and usable interior determine material use and product fit.
Structure
Closures, folds and assembly steps change the work needed to make the pack.
Materials
Board, wrap and insert choices affect both construction and material cost.
Printing & finishes
Artwork coverage, colors and decoration steps change setup and finishing costs.
Quantity
The quantity per design changes how setup and production costs are distributed.
When it may fit
It may suit a clear or shaped presentation layout. It may not suit a buyer who requires a fiber-only package or a market-specific material claim without documentation.
Details to define
- Product dimensions, number, weight and orientation.
- Cavity shape, depth, access and tray outer dimensions.
- Resin, color/clarity and any paperboard carrier or sleeve.
- Destination market, product-contact requirements and sample criteria.
Artwork and presentation choices
Give each cavity a content reference and show where the backing-card artwork remains visible. Identify any proposed print or label separately from the formed tray material.
Options to compare
- Compare a transparent tray with colored or opaque options only after material confirmation.
- Use a graphic card behind cavities to add color without changing the tray.
- Separate visual presentation from retention or protection claims.
Record cavity layout, empty nesting and loaded stacking separately
Identify the complete gift components before drawing a multi-cavity insert. Give every item a cavity ID, packing orientation and removal area, including its primary pack, cap, strap or other projection.
| State or decision | Proposal fields | Review question |
|---|---|---|
| Loaded multi-cavity layout | Cavity-to-item map, walls between adjacent cavities, loading order and removal grip. | Can each item be loaded and removed with the other planned components present? |
| Empty nesting | Empty orientation, locating surfaces, supplied stack and separation grip. | How does the operator separate the delivered trays before packing? |
| Loaded stacking, if proposed | Loaded orientation, support ledges, upper-tray contact and clearance above the actual contents. | What supports the next tray, and what touches or clears the product beneath it? |
Request separate empty and loaded views for a nest-and-stack proposal. A changed orientation may be part of an offered design; it is not a universal feature of formed trays. Do not infer loaded stackability from compact empty nesting.
Keep the offered sheet, resin, forming and rim details with the cavity drawing. These choices describe a box insert; they do not by themselves define a hinged outer clamshell, a sealed blister, a universal material grade or a verified load rating.
Supplier confirmation needed
Confirm resin, wall thickness, forming method, cut edges, fit and market documentation with supplier. No recyclability, contact-safety or performance claim is made here.
Project details to agree
Final materials, construction, price, sample scope and delivery timing are confirmed for the agreed project with the relevant supplier.
