Layer pads and sheets
Layer Pads and Sheets
Layer pads and sheets provide a simple and effective way to protect products during transit and storage. Whether used on a pallet or inside boxes, they help separate layers of items, reducing the risk of damage when products are stacked. This makes them a practical solution for businesses handling a wide range of goods.
At Kite, we supply a wide range of layer pad and sheet products, including cardboard sheets and paper-based options. Designed to offer protection and flexibility, these products can be used across different packing setups to help keep items secure and well organised.
What Are Layer Pads and Sheets?
Layer pads and sheets are flat pieces of cardboard or paper used for separating layers of products during storage and transportation. By placing a layer pad between items, businesses can protect goods from crushing, impact, and movement when stacked at multiple levels.
They are commonly used on pallets and within boxes to help maintain stability and protect products throughout transit. Whether handling a pallet load or packing smaller items, layer pads provide extra protection and help ensure goods remain in good condition.
Cardboard Sheets and Layer Pads
Cardboard sheets and layer pads are produced from single and double wall cardboard, making them suitable for a range of packaging needs. These sheets are commonly used as pads, dividers, and partitions, helping to separate products and protect them during transit or storage.
They are ideal for use on pallets or with boxed items, where separating layers is important to prevent products from crushing or damaging each other. The use of corrugated cardboard adds extra protection, making these sheets a reliable option when handling stacked products across multiple levels.
Paper Sheets and Rolls
Paper sheets and rolls are a versatile part of this range, suitable for wrapping, padding, and protecting products. We stock a variety of versatile products, including kraft, recycled, waxed, and ribbed paper, all designed to support different packing requirements.
These sheets and rolls can be used for wrapping items, adding a layer of protection, or separating products during storage and transit. Their flexibility makes them ideal for businesses looking for a practical solution across multiple applications.
Specialist Sheets and Packaging Options
Alongside standard cardboard sheets and paper rolls, the range also includes more specialised products. These include kraft union paper, VCI paper (volatile corrosion inhibitor), and single faced corrugated rolls.
These options are designed for more specific uses while still providing protection and support during packing, storage, and transportation. As part of a wider range of packaging products, they offer additional flexibility when handling different types of items.
