Edge Protectors (Corner Boards)
Rigid compressed cardboard V-profiles shielding carton edges against strapping indentations and crushing.
Term Definition
Edge protectors are placed along the perimeter corners and ridges of cartons before applying tension strapping. They distribute compressive forces evenly and prevent strapping bands from cutting into cardboard walls. This maintains the clean commercial appearance of retail packaging enclosed inside.
Usage Example
«Sturdy cardboard edge protectors were fitted around appliance cartons prior to plastic banding.»
What we do
We reinforce carton ridges and corners to preserve pristine commercial packaging during long-haul transit.
