Edge Protectors


Edge protectors are simple, yet effective packaging components designed to reinforce the corners and edges of packages - typically the most vulnerable areas during transport, handling, and storage. These small devices play a crucial role in preventing damage to shipped goods, especially for heavy or unique shaped items.

Types of Edge Protectors:

L-Shaped protectors: The most common type, providing protection for two adjacent sides of a package.

U-Shaped protectors: Cover three sides of an edge, offering more comprehensive protection.

Full-length edge boards: Extend along the entire length of a package's edge.

Corner posts: Specifically designed to protect the vertical corners of packages.

Foam edge protectors: Made from foam materials for additional cushioning.

Benefits of Edge Protectors:  

Improved stacking strength: Enhances the package's ability to withstand stacking pressures during shipping and warehousing. This is particularly important for palletized loads.

Impact resistance: Helps absorb shocks that could otherwise damage edges or corners, protecting the integrity of both the packaging and the contents.

Recyclable material options: Many edge protectors are made from recyclable materials such as cardboard or recycled plastics, aligning with sustainability goals.

Versatility: Can be used with various package types and sizes, from small boxes to large crates.

Easy application: Simple to apply, either manually or with automated systems in high-volume operations.

Can be cut to any size.  Available in many colors and can also be custom printed with your specific logo or information.  Call us at 813 242 6995 or reach out to sales@quickpakinc.com
