Why Vial Boxes Need More Than a Simple Insert

It's easy to package something, isn't it?Easy to package is a vial, right? It's compact, it's simple, it looks like it needs a slot to be inserted into. That is why there are so many broken vials. It's not just a matter of a simple slot to hold delicate glass safely. Why insert is having to work harder than people realise.

A slot is not a support.

Begin by the common error. There are many brands that believe that all an insert needs is a hole to fit the vial into. This secures the vial, but not the protection.

A loose slot allows the vial to vibrate, rock and hit the sides of the container. It prevents the vial from dropping out, but doesn't do anything to absorb shock or to keep the vial still. Real support is one in which the vial would not be able to move, it would not simply remain in its hole.

A simple slot loses because it:

Allows the vial to rattle.
Leans or lets tip of vial.
Absorbs no shock at all.

Most damage to vials occurs between slot and true support.

Glass Can Be Fragile in Particular Ways

Vials are made of glass and the properties of glass are not captured by a simple insert. Once you familiarize yourself with how it breaks, you'll understand why the insert is so important.

A knock on a vial may cause it to crack, as might also continued pressure or a prolonged vibration ride over a distance. The insert should absorb shock, withstand pressure and prevent the little movements that cause glass fatigue. Each of these vulnerable areas is the basis for a custom vial box.

If a vial doesn't move, it can't rattle, it can't knock and it can't start to build momentum before it confronts an impact. Custom vial boxes rely on the use of inserts to secure the vial in place and keep it from moving - it is this immobility that prevents it from breaking.

The absence of motion matters because it:
