White Corner Guards — Vinyl & PVC Protectors

Corner protectors go by several names depending on the industry, including edge protectors, edge boards, corner posts, V-board, and strap guards. In packaging and shipping, these terms all refer to rigid or semi-rigid angles applied to pallet and carton corners to prevent damage during handling, stacking, and transit.

Corner guards and edge protectors come in several materials, including vinyl, PVC, paperboard, and closed-cell foam. Paperboard options are offered in light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty ratings based on caliper thickness, while foam versions suit high-value or fragile goods that need extra cushioning against impact.

Standard leg widths run 2, 3, and 4 inches, with thicknesses ranging from 0.120 in to 0.225 in and lengths up to 96+ inches. Custom cut-to-length options are also available for pallets, cartons, or coils with non-standard dimensions requiring tailored protection.

Corner guards distribute pressure across pallet and carton edges, preventing strapping from cutting into packaging and stopping crushed corners during stacking or transit. Used alongside stretch wrap, they can reduce in-transit damage rates on palletized loads by up to 50%, improving overall load stability.

Yes, pre-printed and custom-branded edge protectors are available for companies that want their logo or safety messaging visible on outbound freight, in addition to standard plain paperboard and foam options for general-purpose protection needs.
