Custom Cross Partitions
Our interlocking grid box dividers give strong support to keep items in place and protect them from bumps during shipping. These customized internal cross partitions create separate spaces for each item, preventing glass pieces from touching or scratching. This helps your inventory arrive looking its best every time.

Locking Divider Design for Maximum Stability
Standard shipping solutions often fail because they let items move around inside the box. When we tested these interlocking dividers in high-vibration shipping, we saw an immediate improvement. Unlike loose-fill materials that can shift during transit, these partitions stay firmly in place. The cross design gives the box honeycomb-like strength, which supports the outer walls and lets you stack boxes higher in your warehouse without worrying about them getting crushed.
Millimeter-Perfect Cells for High-Value Items
Generic dividers usually leave too much space, which can cause scuffed surfaces or small cracks in delicate items. We make sure each cell fits closely. No matter if you are shipping boutique spirits, car parts, or lab glassware, we calculate the cell size to the millimeter.
If your packaging needs involve complex shapes, we often suggest using die-cut inserts to support the base of the item. For sensitive electronics, we recommend foam inserts to add extra cushioning along with the rigid grid.
How Cross-Partitions Streamline Your Fulfillment Workflow
People often miss how much efficiency matters on the packing line. We’ve seen that using pre-assembled grids can reduce packing time by up to 40% compared to wrapping each item separately. With this method, your team just places each product into its own cell, which is much faster. This not only saves time but also gives your customer a more polished unboxing experience. Many of our clients also add thank you notes or brand story cards in one of the empty edge cells to add a personal touch to their branding.
Recyclable Inserts That Replace Plastic Packaging
Our partitions offer a new approach. Made from 100% recyclable fibers, these recycled paperboard inserts are just as strong as those made from new materials. Choosing a tight-fitting grid means you no longer need plastic bubble wrap or polystyrene peanuts, so your brand uses less plastic.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Cross Partitions
We’ve answered the technical and shipping questions our customers ask most often.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →What is the difference between a cross partition and a fence partition?
Both types divide space, but cross partitions use an interlocking egg-crate design that protects items from all sides. Fence partitions are simpler strips that serve only to create borders. Cross partitions work better for stopping items from bumping into each other during dense shipping.
Can I get these partitions in different heights than my box?
Yes, you can. We usually suggest matching the partition height to your product for better stacking strength, but we can make them shorter if you need room for instruction sheets or extra padding on top.
Do these arrive assembled or flat?
We offer both options. Knocked-down partitions ship flat to save warehouse space. Pre-assembled partitions are ready to use, which is great for busy fulfillment centers looking to save on labor.
Will these partitions scratch delicate labels or surfaces?
For sensitive surfaces like silk-screened wine bottles, we offer a no-dust finish or a silk-lined paperboard. These options help prevent the paper rub that sometimes happens with regular corrugated materials during shipping.
How do I calculate the cell size I need?
Measure the widest part of your product and add about 1/16 to 1/8 inch (1.5mm to 3mm) of extra space. This way, your product will fit easily but won’t move around during shipping.
Are there weight limits for corrugated dividers?
Corrugated partitions are very strong. If you need to hold heavy items like metal parts or glass bottles, we can use a thicker material. For very heavy loads, we can double-wall the dividers to make them even stronger.
