Molded Pulp Inserts for Phone & Tablet Accessories: Cases, Cables, and Screen Care

Accessory bundles mix rigid cases, coiled cables, and glass screen protectors that scratch each other. A molded pulp insert gives each item a pocket and lets the whole kit ship in a simple carton.

The Scenario: A three-piece accessory kit with no scratched glass

A mobile accessory brand was shipping a case, cable, and screen protector combo in a plastic clamshell. Customers complained about the clamshell, and the glass protector arrived scratched in 1 in 20 orders.

Pain Points

• Clamshells were hard to open and drew negative reviews;
• The glass protector shifted and scratched against the case;
• The mixed-material pack could not be recycled curbside.

The Solution: One pulp insert, three pockets, zero contact

The brand switched to a molded pulp insert with a raised glass-protector pocket, a case cradle, and a cable channel. The insert replaced the clamshell and the separate foam pad:

1. Floating glass pocket The screen protector sits on raised pulp ribs, so glass never touches another surface.

2. Case cradle with grip walls Soft-touch walls hold the case without scratching its finish.

3. Cable wrap channel A formed channel keeps the coil tidy and away from the glass.

The Result: Scratches gone, reviews improved

Scratched-protector complaints stopped, and the brand's review mentions of packaging difficulty dropped sharply. The insert plus carton is curbside recyclable, and the pack line simplified from three components to one.
