Corner & Edge Protectors

Duty ratings reflect the caliper (thickness) of the paperboard, which determines the load and compression resistance. Light-duty suits lighter parcel shipments, medium-duty handles standard pallet loads, and heavy-duty is engineered for demanding LTL and OTR freight applications where maximum stack strength and strap protection are required.

Edge protectors are available in 100% recyclable paperboard made from recycled fiber content, and closed-cell foam. Paperboard options come in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty calipers. Foam edge protectors are ideal for high-value or fragile finished goods requiring extra cushioning alongside structural protection.

Standard leg widths are 2 in, 3 in, and 4 in. Standard thicknesses range from 0.120 in to 0.225 in. Lengths are available up to 96+ inches, with cut-to-length options available. Custom sizing can be requested for unique packaging or pallet configurations.
