Customer Endorsements
“Excellent part protection, lower cost, lower lead times, innovation, quality, and personal attention provided by ITB makes my job easier.”
“I was a skeptic at first but the product intrigued me. What a great way to save space,time, and money! Give them a try and do some experimenting, you will be happy with the results.”
“In my many years working with ITB I appreciate their ability to come up with innovative high-density designs and quick turn around.”
“Integrating ITB’s packaging solutions into our manufacturing plant for food and beverage has allowed our staff to streamline the production process, reduced our staging time, and expedited our case packing. By creating a streamlined process and eliminating a step in our manufacturing process our staff can work with greater capacity and less stress.”
“The ITB team is always improving the packaging designs and finding existing packs to change. They even benchmark outside the normal Automotive and Packaging Industries to find improvements. For example, changing the way they cut the paper to a newspaper style cut to prevent a sharp edge.”
Competitive Advantage
Our highly-engineered packaging solutions have been created to deliver benefits that save space, production and assembly time, and money – value that is simply not possible with other systems.
We can help you save time by using products that are significantly more ergonomic and flexible, and on average, 50% lighter than competitors, making them quicker, easier and safer for operators to insert into containers. We also do not require time-consuming die-cut processes. As a result, we can deliver fast turnarounds and substantial savings, including returnable packaging solutions that are priced up to 60% lower than sewn and as much as 20% lower than comparable fabric covered PCORR.
You will be able to increase plant storage space from 25-75% with our boxes and containers because they are collapsible, and turn your warehouse back into manufacturing space! And when shipping, our customized cells nest products closer and use the entire container interior, which can raise packing densities by 15-100%. For return shipping, flattened Returnable bins boost cargo space nearly three-fold, which means fewer trucks on the road and reduced transportation costs.
Simply put, ITB Packaging delivers higher quality packaging solutions with no tooling, less material, more productive processes and faster deliveries, all of which yield numerous and substantial direct and indirect cost saving benefits.
Engineered Simplicity
Simplicity is key: Our packaging systems and products are engineered so that they are easy to understand and intuitive to use. We value simplicity because it yields better efficiency, productivity and savings for customers — while making our lives easier.
Tooling and ease of installation: Unlike traditional packaging, we make rectangular divider systems that require no tooling and can be easily managed throughout the supply chain. Systems fold flat for storage or shipping and expand quickly for effortless setup in the container.
Less material – lighter weight – lower costs – greener: Our revolutionary processes use less raw material to perform the same function as other packaging manufacturers’ products. This leads to lower prices for customers and greener operations — less material reduces manufacturing costs and creates a smaller footprint, while lighter weight, compact products reduce transportation expenses.
Quality with better protection: ITB’s high quality soft, flexible materials custom-fit products for better protection compared to typical hard-wall options, and we seal the cells from top to bottom providing strength, durability, and superior part separation.

Quality and testing
ITB is committed to making quality products and we use a variety of tests for our dividers and the materials that compose them.
From testing glue temperatures and bead widths to performing pull (strength) tests on our materials and installing an on-site Shaker Table, we are committed to being the best in the world at manufacturing rectangular cell dividers and we continually work to achieve that goal.
Our Shaker Table allows us to ensure quality by offering side-by-side shake tests of your current dividers compared to ITB dividers, loaded with your parts. Contact us if you would like to utilize this option for your dividers.
