Cardboard Edge Protection

Cardboard edge protection is a strong and reliable packaging solution designed to reinforce and protect the edges and corners of palletised goods during storage, handling, and transportation. Manufactured from 100% recycled paper, edge protectors help improve load stability, prevent crushing, and reduce damage caused by strapping, stacking, and transit movement.

Available in a range of sizes, thicknesses, and profiles, cardboard edge protectors are suitable for everything from lightweight cartons to heavy industrial pallets. By distributing pressure evenly across the load, they help prevent damage such as denting, corner collapse, and strap cut-through, ensuring products remain secure throughout the supply chain.

Commonly used alongside stretch wrap and pallet strapping, edge protectors are essential in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and distribution environments. They not only improve product protection but also enhance stackability and overall load safety during transport.

Cardboard edge protection, also known as edge protectors, corner protectors, or angle boards, is an essential packaging solution used to reinforce and protect the edges and corners of palletised goods during storage, handling, and transportation. Manufactured from strong, compressed layers of 100% recycled paper, these profiles are designed to improve load stability, prevent product damage, and ensure goods arrive at their destination in excellent condition.

In modern supply chains, products are often exposed to multiple risks including strapping pressure, stacking weight, shifting loads, and impact during transit. Cardboard edge protectors act as a simple yet highly effective reinforcement system, distributing pressure evenly across the load and preventing damage such as crushing, denting, strap cuts, and corner collapse. By strengthening the weakest points of a package, they help maintain structural integrity throughout the entire logistics process.

Our range of cardboard edge protectors is available in a wide variety of lengths, thicknesses, and profile sizes to suit different applications and load requirements. From lightweight cartons and e-commerce shipments to heavy industrial goods and oversized palletised loads, there is a suitable option for almost every packaging scenario. Common profile sizes include compact 35mm x 35mm formats for general use, through to wider 50mm and 75mm profiles designed for heavier-duty applications where additional surface coverage and reinforcement are required.

Edge protection is commonly used in combination with stretch wrap, pallet strapping, shrink wrap, and other secondary packaging materials. When used together, these systems significantly improve load stability by preventing movement and reducing the risk of damage caused by tension or compression. This makes cardboard edge protectors particularly valuable in high-volume warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and export environments.

In addition to their protective benefits, cardboard edge protectors also contribute to more sustainable packaging operations. Manufactured from 100% recycled materials, they are fully recyclable after use and support circular economy initiatives by reducing reliance on plastic-based alternatives. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on performance.

Typical applications include palletised shipments, furniture and flat-pack goods, construction materials, appliances, boxed products, and industrial components. Their versatility means they are widely used across multiple industries including retail, manufacturing, distribution, and e-commerce fulfilment.

Choosing the correct edge protection depends on factors such as load weight, stacking height, transportation method, and required level of protection. Heavier or high-value shipments typically benefit from thicker and wider profiles, while lighter loads may only require standard 2–3mm L-profiles.

Overall, cardboard edge protection provides a cost-effective, sustainable, and highly efficient solution for improving packaging performance, reducing transit damage, and ensuring products are delivered safely and securely.
