What is an Edge Protector?
Edge protectors, also known as corner protectors or edge guards, are essential packaging materials used to protect the vulnerable edges, corners, and surfaces of various products during shipping, handling, and storage. These protectors are typically made from materials like cardboard, plastic, or foam and come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different packaging needs.
The primary purpose of edge protectors is to prevent damage caused by compression, impact, or abrasion. When placed strategically on the edges and corners of items such as furniture, appliances, glass, or sensitive equipment, they act as a cushion or buffer, absorbing shocks and distributing pressure evenly. This helps reduce the risk of dents, dings, chips, and cracks, ensuring that the products arrive at their destination in pristine condition. Edge protectors not only protect the goods but also provide stability and reinforcement to the packaging, minimizing the chances of shifting or collapsing during transportation. They are a cost-effective and practical solution to maintain the integrity of items and enhance customer satisfaction while reducing the likelihood of costly returns and replacements.
