How to use this mockup

  1. Pick one of the 3 ready sizes (200 × 200 × 40 to 240 × 240 × 45 mm) or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Print the logo on two adjacent sides so the name shows however the cartons are stacked.
  • Flexo-printed cartons suit one or two solid colours and bold lines; fine detail and gradients blur.
  • Ivory board prints best on its coated face; keep the uncoated inside to one colour.
  • Matte lamination feels premium and softens colours by about a shade: add contrast in the design.

Questions

Is the tray with dividers mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the tray with dividers?

Yes — 3 sizes from 200 × 200 × 40 to 240 × 240 × 45 mm, or type yours, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the tray with dividers dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the tray with dividers sample printed on?

The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

Cell dividers are corrugated strips slotted to half their height: the long strips are slotted from the top, the cross strips from the bottom, and they interlock into a grid that drops into a case or gift box. One-piece folding dividers are a single die-cut that rises from the base and locks with tabs, no glue. Partitions needn't match the case height — about two-thirds of the bottle height is usually enough to keep bottles apart.

Choosing board and material

Dividers for glass bottles use single-wall E or B flute with kraft liners, or 1–2 mm chipboard where a thin partition is needed; the heavier each cell, the stiffer the board must be. One-piece dividers and compartment trays inside gift boxes use 300–350 gsm ivory board, laminated for a clean white face. Any insert touching unwrapped food or baked goods must be food-contact grade.

Finishing

Dividers in shipping cases are usually plain or printed in one colour; dividers that show when a gift box opens should be printed in a background colour matching the box, optionally matt laminated. Foil or spot UV on partitions rarely pays, since the product hides most of it — for an accent, put a small logo along the top edge of the front strip.

Preparing the print file

A divider file is a set of flat strips whose slots are the board thickness plus about 0.5–1 mm; cell count, spacing and height must all match the outer case's inside dimensions. If printed, print the long and cross strips on the side that faces the person opening the box, and keep copy out of the slot zones. For a one-piece divider, mark mountain and valley folds clearly so the maker creases them the right way.

Common mistakes

  • Cells exactly the bottle diameter with no tolerance: glass varies by a few millimetres, bottles won't drop in, and forcing them tears the partitions.
  • Slots narrower than the board: the strips bulge when slotted and the grid racks out of square in the case.
  • Partitions too low for tall-necked bottles: shoulders knock together on bumpy roads and necks break.
  • Forgetting the case wall thickness when sizing the grid: it comes out larger than the case and has to be trimmed by hand.

Questions and answers

What size is a divided tray for a four-cake box?

From 200 × 200 to 240 × 240 mm and 40–45 mm deep, split 2 × 2 for four cakes or four Tết gifts; low walls let all four show when the lid comes off.

Can cakes sit straight in the divided tray?

Only if the board is food-contact grade; oily cakes such as mooncakes should go in a film bag or greaseproof base before entering the cell.

How tall should bottle dividers be?

Usually around two-thirds of the bottle height, or up to the shoulder, so the bodies never touch; tall-necked wine and long-haul shipments warrant partitions almost as tall as the case.

Corrugated or chipboard for cell dividers?

E or B flute is light and cushions glass well for long trips; chipboard is thinner and flatter, suited to small gift boxes with many tight cells, such as bird's nest bottles.

Can cell dividers be reused?

Glue-free slotted grids knock flat and can be reused a few times while dry; partitions that got wet or oily should be replaced so odours don't transfer.
