Whether you're securing palletised loads, reinforcing cartons or preventing damage to delicate items, the right edge protectors can help reduce the risk of impact damage while improving load stability.

At Kite Packaging, we stock a wide range of corner protection and edge protection solutions to suit different applications. From board edge protectors made from recycled materials to foam edge protectors and plastic corner protectors, you'll find products designed to help protect goods throughout the supply chain.

Board Edge Protectors for Palletised Loads

Board edge protectors are commonly used to stabilise and reinforce palletised loads. Positioned along the edges and corners of products, they help distribute pressure from strapping and shrink wrap while protecting edges from damage.

Manufactured from compressed recycled cardboard, these versatile edge protectors provide a practical way to strengthen boxes and cartons during storage and transit. They can also be reused multiple times before being recycled at the end of their life.

Board edge protectors are suitable for a range of packaging applications, including:

• Reinforcing boxes and cartons
• Protecting palletised loads
• Reducing the risk of crushed corners
• Supporting stacked products during storage
• Helping stabilise loads during transport

Available in different sizes, these edge protectors offer a simple solution for businesses looking to improve product protection while supporting sustainability goals.

Foam Edge Protectors for Delicate Products

Foam edge protectors are ideal when extra cushioning is required. Manufactured from PE foam, they help absorb impact and provide temporary protection for fragile products with exposed edges.

Our range includes foam edge protectors in several shapes to suit different requirements. Foam corner protectors, U-profile products and L-profile solutions can be used to protect corners, sharp edges and vulnerable surfaces during handling, packing and transit.

These products are often used for:

• Picture frames
• Glass and mirrors
• Furniture
• Doors
• Tables
• Metal sheeting
• Electrical equipment

The lightweight foam material can be cut to size and fitted quickly, making it an easy way to add foam protection where it is needed. Many foam products can also be reused, helping reduce waste while maintaining product safety.

Different Types of Corner Protectors Available
