Pallet Edge & Corner Protectors for Shipping

Corner boards are commonly made from laminated paperboard or kraft board formed into an L-shaped or V-shaped profile. This construction provides rigidity and compressive strength while remaining lightweight, making it easy to apply to pallets without adding significant weight or cost to the overall shipment.

Corner boards distribute the pressure exerted by stretch wrap or strapping evenly across the pallet load's corners and edges. This prevents the strapping from cutting into packaging, reduces crushing on stacked cartons, and adds structural support that keeps the load square and stable during transit and warehouse storage.

Yes, corner boards can be cut or ordered in varying lengths, thicknesses, and widths to match different pallet dimensions and load heights. This flexibility allows businesses to protect standard pallets as well as oversized or irregular loads without compromising on edge and corner protection.

Most corner boards are made from recyclable paperboard materials, making them an environmentally conscious choice compared to plastic alternatives. They can typically be recycled along with other cardboard packaging materials, helping companies meet sustainability goals while still providing strong load protection during shipping.

Selecting the right corner protector depends on load weight, stacking height, and shipping method. Heavier or taller loads generally require thicker corner boards for added rigidity, while lighter shipments may only need standard profiles. Consulting with a packaging supplier helps match the protector to your specific application.
