You have packed the pallet well. Stretch wrap applied, pallet straps tight. And yet, boxes arrive damaged. The corners are crushed, the top layer has collapsed, or the contents have sustained damage because the pallet shifted during transport.
In most cases, the cause is the same: all tension is concentrated on the four corners of the pallet. Without protection, this cuts into the cardboard, and into your reputation with the customer.
A cardboard edge protector is an L-shaped profile made of layered pressed cardboard. You place four of them on the corners of your pallet before applying the stretch wrap. The profile distributes the compression force over a much larger surface area — ensuring that pressure is no longer concentrated in one spot.
The result: boxes remain intact, the stack stays straight, and the pallet arrives at the customer exactly as it left the warehouse.
Plastic edge protectors are reusable but heavier, more expensive per unit, and more difficult to recycle. They can be interesting for small volumes and return logistics.
For most industrial applications, cardboard edge protectors are the smarter choice:
Standard 1,000 mm and 2,200 mm. Can be cut to any desired length. Cutting service included.
