Flatbed Corner Protectors & V Boards

Edge protectors are available in two primary materials: paperboard (made from recycled fiber content) and closed-cell foam. Paperboard options come in light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty caliper ratings. Foam edge protectors are ideal for high-value or fragile finished goods that require extra cushioning and impact absorption during transit.

Standard edge protectors are available in leg widths of 2 in, 3 in, and 4 in, with thicknesses ranging from 0.120 in to 0.225 in. Standard lengths extend to 96 inches or more, and cut-to-length options are available for custom applications across various pallet sizes and packaging configurations.

Yes. Pre-printed edge protectors are available with custom branding for companies that want brand-forward freight presentation. These are popular among e-commerce fulfillment, CPG, and logistics firms looking to reinforce brand identity on outbound pallets while maintaining full edge and corner protection during shipping.

Properly applied paperboard edge protectors on stretch-wrapped pallets can reduce in-transit damage rates by up to 50%. They reinforce stack strength, distribute strapping pressure evenly across package edges, and stabilize loads during OTR freight, LTL shipping, and warehouse handling — significantly lowering product loss and claim costs.

Light-duty edge protectors suit general shipping and distribution with lighter pallet loads. Medium-duty options handle standard pallet and packaging protection in warehouse and 3PL environments. Heavy-duty edge protectors are designed for high-stack-weight loads, dense freight, and applications where maximum crush resistance and strap cut-through prevention are critical requirements.

Yes. Paperboard edge protectors are 100% recyclable and are sourced from recycled fiber content, making them a sustainable packaging choice. They support corporate sustainability reporting goals and align with environmental compliance initiatives. Foam edge protectors offer different end-of-life considerations, and your Take 2 Direct representative can advise on the right choice.
