Home / The Role of Paper Edge Protectors in Secure and Sustainable Shipping
At Bharath Paper Conversions, we’re all about protecting what matters, especially when it comes to shipping. Have you ever wondered how those corners of your packages stay intact during their journey? Let us introduce you to the unsung heroes of shipping – paper edge protectors, also known as angle boards, cardboard corner protectors, or simply, corner boards.
What are Paper Edge Protectors?
Think of them as sturdy bodyguards for your packages. These protectors, made from recycled kraft paper, are designed to snugly fit around the edges, shielding your goods from bumps, nudges, and the rough handling they might face during transit.
Angle Boards are made of multiple plies of recycled paper, laminated together with starch-based/water-soluble adhesive, and covered with an outer layer of kraft paper or poly-coated paper for water resistance. What makes these protectors remarkable is their recyclability. Unlike their plastic or metal counterparts, paper edge protectors are a greener option because they can be easily recycled after serving their purpose contributing to a sustainable loop.
Why Use Edge Protectors? How Do They Safeguard Your Products?
Edge protectors play a crucial role in minimizing the risk of product damage on the corners of loaded pallets, both during transit and storage. By providing sturdy support to the pallet frame, packagers can apply higher tension when strapping or stretch wrapping, significantly reducing the chances of pallet tips or collapses.
The protective qualities of edge protectors extend to maintaining the integrity of cases when stacking uniform-sized pallets. By evenly distributing weight away from cases, edge protectors mitigate the risk of case compression, preventing damage to products and ensuring they remain in a saleable condition.
Edge protectors serve another purpose as internal support for creating a reinforced “Master Carton.” This involves using edge protectors to segment and strengthen a box packed with smaller boxes. This internal reinforcement reduces the risk of cartons deflating or compacting, allowing for safer and higher stacking on a pallet. Additionally, when used as internal support for elongated packages, edge protectors enhance strength, minimizing the chances of deflection and bending.
In essence, edge protectors contribute significantly to both product safety and the structural stability of pallets, providing a simple yet effective solution for preventing damage throughout the shipping and storage processes.
