Fold-Over Glue Fiber Partitions
Allow for a hand insertion or use of automated erection/insertion equipment by adding this fold-over glue wall strip where the opposite strips are perforated, folded and glued.
Available in 4-, 6- and 8-cell arrangements, the fixed cells stabilize the strips from disassembling and eliminating movement within the carton.
Fiber-A Fiber Partitions
Reduce potential fallout and movement. Designed with one long strip that’s perforated twice and intersected with a short strip, this 6-cell partition style glues into the carton.
Suitable for higher speed lines and automatic erection/inserting equipment, Fiber-A partitions ship assembled—increasing productivity and decreasing labor costs.
Butterfly Fiber Partitions
Ideal for hand-packed applications that do not need to be controlled, this internal packaging consists of one long strip and two short strips.
U & 2 Corrugated Partitions
These partitions arrive unassembled, easily glue into the box and work with high-speed automated lines.
Available in 6-, 9- and 12-cell configurations, special features such as corner cuts, V-notches and locking tabs can also be applied to ensure ease of use.
