Corner Protectors — Manufacturer & Distributor

The terms are used interchangeably in the industry. Both refer to L-shaped or angled boards — also called corner posts, edge boards, or V-board — applied to the edges and corners of packages or pallets. They prevent crush damage, strap cut-through, and load instability during shipping, storage, and warehouse handling.

Corner protectors are available in paperboard (recycled fiber, 100% recyclable) and closed-cell foam. Paperboard options span light-, medium-, and heavy-duty caliper ratings. Foam edge protectors provide additional cushioning for high-value, fragile, or sensitive finished goods that require softer edge contact during transit.

Standard leg widths are 2 in, 3 in, and 4 in. Standard thicknesses range from 0.120 in to 0.225 in. Lengths run up to 96 inches or more, with cut-to-length options available. The right size depends on your pallet dimensions, load weight, and strapping configuration.
