Why Use Paper Edge Protectors?
Paper edge protectors, also known as corner protectors or edge boards, are essential packaging accessories designed to protect products during transit and storage. They offer several benefits:
- Protection Against Damage: They help to safeguard the edges and corners of products (such as boxes, pallets, and furniture) from impacts, crushing, and abrasion during handling, shipping, and storage.
- Improved Load Stability: Paper edge protectors are often used in conjunction with stretch wrap or strapping. They help to distribute the load evenly across the pallet or packaging, reducing the risk of product shifting or collapsing during transport.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to plastic or metal alternatives, paper edge protectors are often more affordable and environmentally friendly, as they are typically made from recyclable paperboard.
- Sustainability: Many paper edge protectors are made from recycled or biodegradable materials, making them a more sustainable choice than plastic or foam options.
- Customizable: Paper edge protectors can be easily customized to fit specific product dimensions, ensuring that the product is securely protected without unnecessary material waste.
Dimensions:
- Length: Customizable to fit the size of the product or packaging (e.g., 12 inches, 24 inches, etc.).
- Width: Typically 1 inch to 4 inches, with options for custom sizing.
- Thickness: 3 mm to 6 mm (or custom thickness).
- Corner Angle: 90° (standard) or other angles for specialized applications.
Features:
- Edge Protection: Designed to protect the edges and corners of products from damage during handling and transportation.
- Pallet Stability: Reinforces the edges of pallets or boxes, enhancing load stability and reducing shifting.
- Environmental Benefits: Made from recycled paper, fully recyclable, and biodegradable.
- Custom Branding: Option for printing company logos or branding on the surface.
- Stackability: Designed to stack easily without warping or bending under pressure.
Strength:
- Compression Strength: Capable of withstanding up to XX kg per edge (depending on the material and thickness).
- Impact Resistance: Provides excellent impact resistance for protection during rough handling.
Usage:
- For securing and protecting edges and corners of pallets, boxes, and packages during shipping and storage.
- Can be used in combination with stretch film, strapping, or shrink wrap.
