Protective corners and edges

When shipping your goods, it is the protective corners and edges of your products that tend to be stressed during transport. Therefore, there are a number of elements that strengthen the edges and ensure optimal protection of the complete product during transport.

The range of protective elements is very extensive. Therefore, we have prepared some hints and tips for an effective selection to suit your needs and requirements:

Protective corners

Do you want to protect a compact and sturdy product such as speakers, refrigerators, furniture, etc.? That’s why we recommend protective corners for this purpose. Thanks to their shape, they firmly fix your goods in the box and effectively protect their corners against impacts. Using them is very easy: simply place the individual corners on the corner you want to protect. Protective corners They are made of strong corrugated cardboard or flexible foam.

If you wish to reinforce the corners of narrow products, such as picture frames, then cardboard triangular corners are the best solution. With five layers of corrugated cardboard and reinforced with three layers of cardboard on the outside, they are extra resistant to impact and vertical pressure. For products with wider edges such as table frames, glass objects, work surfaces, use polyethylene foam corners.

Protective edges

If you need to protect not only the corners but also the complete edges of your products, use long and adaptable protective profiles. If you need to wrap the edges of compact products, use protective edges in the form of foam profile “L” without adhesive cover strip or self-adhesive foam profiles “L”, which can be easily adjusted to the desired length with a knife. When transporting particularly fragile and heavy goods such as computers, electronic equipment and others, apply a reinforced foam profile “L” . This protective edge model is perforated every 10 cm.

When transporting goods with narrow edges such as tables, frames, worktops, etc., the foam profile “U” is recommended. Thanks to its tulip shape, it is easy to apply and can be easily adjusted to your desired size with a knife. The profile is very flexible and will give your goods good protection against shocks. Thanks to the tension of the sides, it adheres firmly to the edge and fixes it perfectly. If you prefer a wider element, for example when transporting mirrors, choose the wide foam “U” profile with extra wide arms.

Summary at the end

The secret to success is choosing a protective edge or corner that optimally adheres to the corner or edge. Only a corner or edge protected in this way will remain undamaged throughout the entire logistics process. Protective corrugated cardboard corners and edges are one of the most environmentally friendly options and are more cost-effective than foam protection. On the other hand, they are not as flexible. Polyethylene foam elements provide soft and impact-resistant protection for fragile products. The flexible foam makes them highly adaptable and easy to apply to different product forms.
