Research Summary

Cardboard edge protectors, also known as corner protectors or edge boards, are protective packaging components designed to safeguard the edges and corners of goods during transportation, storage, and handling. They are typically made from sturdy and rigid cardboard material, often recycled or virgin paperboard, and come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different applications. Cardboard edge protectors are placed along the edges or corners of products, such as pallets, boxes, or furniture, to provide reinforcement and prevent damage caused by impacts, compression, or strapping. They help distribute the pressure evenly and create a protective barrier against edge crushing, abrasion, or denting. Cardboard edge protectors are widely used in industries such as logistics, shipping, e-commerce, and manufacturing, where protecting goods from potential damage is crucial. They are cost-effective, lightweight, and recyclable, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for safeguarding products and minimizing waste.
