The Layer Pads Dividers, made from durable PP Hollow Board, provide essential protection and stability for stacked products such as cans, bottles, and other rigid packaging. By evenly distributing weight and minimizing movement, these pads ensure products remain damage-free during transit. Additionally, the top protective layer pads offers extra protection when cases are being opened, safeguarding products from external impacts.
Key Features of PP Layer Pads Dividers
Stabilization and Protection
Layer pads evenly distribute weight across stacked items, reducing the risk of damage during transportation.
- Benefit: Keeps products intact and stable, even during long-distance transit.
Customizable Design
PP corrugated dividers are die-cut to meet exact size, corner, or groove requirements, offering tailored solutions for diverse packaging needs.
- Example: Ensures perfect compatibility with specific product dimensions and packaging setups.
Water-Resistant and Durable
The PP hollow board material resists moisture, ensuring reliable performance in humid or wet conditions. Also widely used as protective plastic layer pads for general cargo stacking protection.
- Benefit: Protects products in challenging environments like refrigerated transport.
High-Quality Printing Options
Layer pads can be printed with branding, instructions, or identification markers, enhancing organization and presentation. Pair with our PP corrugated dividers for complete bottle case separation.
- Example: Improves warehouse efficiency and product visibility.
Versatile Thickness and Density Options
Available in thicknesses from 3mm to 5mm and densities from 900-1200gsm, the pads can be customized to meet specific performance requirements. For pallet-level protection, see our plastic pallet sheets and corrugated plastic layer pads.
- Benefit: Provides flexibility to handle lightweight or heavy-duty products effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are layer pads dividers used for?
Layer pads dividers are placed between stacked layers of bottles, cans, jars, or other rigid containers inside a shipping case or pallet. They distribute weight evenly, prevent direct contact between product layers, and reduce breakage and abrasion during storage and transportation. They are widely used in the beverage, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
What material are layer pads made of?
PPBOXY layer pads are made from polypropylene (PP) corrugated hollow board. This material is lightweight, water-resistant, chemically inert, and 100% recyclable. Unlike cardboard dividers, PP layer pads do not absorb moisture, degrade, or generate dust — making them ideal for food-contact and clean environments.
Can layer pads be custom die-cut to specific sizes?
Yes. All PPBOXY layer pads are die-cut to your exact dimensions, including sheet size, corner cuts, handle cutouts, and groove positions. Simply provide your bottle/can case inner dimensions and product layout, and we will produce layer pads with precise fit. Custom shapes for non-standard containers are also available.
What thickness should I choose for bottle layer pads?
Common thicknesses for bottle and can layer pads range from 3mm to 5mm. 3mm is suitable for lightweight products like empty PET bottles and aluminum cans. 4-5mm is recommended for heavier items such as glass bottles, filled jars, or tall rigid containers. Our team can recommend the optimal thickness based on your product weight and stacking height.
Are PP layer pads food-safe?
Yes. PP corrugated layer pads are made from food-grade polypropylene that complies with FDA and EU food contact regulations. They contain no harmful chemicals and are safe for direct contact with food and beverage containers. PP material is also resistant to mold and bacterial growth, making it suitable for cold-chain and humid storage environments.
Can layer pads be printed with branding?
Yes. PPBOXY layer pads support single-color and multi-color printing for branding, product identification, lot numbers, handling instructions, or regulatory markings. Printed layer pads not only enhance brand visibility but also improve warehouse sorting efficiency and traceability.
What is the difference between layer pads and corrugated dividers?
Layer pads are flat sheets placed horizontally between product layers in a case or on a pallet. Corrugated dividers (or bottle separators) are die-cut sheets with vertical cells that individually separate each bottle or can within a single layer. Many packaging setups use both: dividers for horizontal separation and layer pads for vertical layer protection.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom layer pads?
There is no minimum order quantity (MOQ) at PPBOXY. We accept orders from small trial batches for prototyping to large-volume production runs. Custom sizes, thicknesses, colors, and printing are available for all order quantities. Contact us with your specifications for a free quote.
