The Cornerboard family of edge protection products can help to counteract several potential transport packaging hazards. You’ve heard it said, that the more structure added to a shape or a pallet, the more strength the shape or pallet will possess. This is an absolutely true statement when it comes to packaging. When Cornerboard is added to the interior or exterior of corrugated packaging it will add transport stability to any packaging system. Cornerboard provides the kind of protection and strength that will ensure shipments arrive at their destination in top condition.

Cornerboard can easily be integrated into existing corrugated package and display designs to reduce damaged loads and rejected shipments. Where there is risk for crushing or wrinkling of corrugated packaging, Cornerboard is an optimal solution.

Cornerboard and Cornerguard edge guards and corner protectors offer a cost-effective way to add an extra degree of protection around your product in the interior of your packaging.

By inverting and adding Cornerboard to the interior corners of a carton, it reinforces the corrugated to provide extra stacking strength and even better protection against compression. This also creates a larger area in the corner of each box for the pallet or carton above to rest on, which leads to greater compression strength.

Cornerboard and Cornerguard can also be used to safely separate and protect individual products within a common package. It can also be used as a spacer, keeping products away from the edges of the carton for additional protection against forklift punctures.

Our team of cornerboard specialists will help analyze your situation and recommend the most appropriate combination of edge protection and corrugated packaging components.

Rough Handling:

By using Cornerboard and stretch wrap you can avoid rough handling during transport. Handlers tend to be more careful when they can see the product they are dealing with. It can also protect corners from pallet loads and products from lateral collisions.

Shock and Vibration:

Another hazard avoided is the result of shock during transport. By unitizing Cornerboard and stretch wrap you can avoid product tip over that happens when the shipment jumps or jolts. It can also prevent load shifting as a result of vibration during transit.

Static Compression:

This is deformation caused by the weight of stacking in storage. By using Cornerboard on the inside of corrugated cartons you can enhance their stacking strength.

Dynamic Compression:

This happens when packages start bumping into one another or the shifting of containers. By nailing Cornerboard to the floor of the transport vehicle you can avoid shipments sliding and crashing.

Reinforcing a carton bottom can prevent product poke through from the inside. Using Cornerboard on the corners of palletized loads or the ends of bagged products can protect products from forklift punctures.

By using FlexBoard on delicate surfaces you can avoid the potential abrasion hazard.

Cornerboard is a versatile product that can handle different transportation hazards based on application.

Extreme Temperatures:

Cornerboard is not affected by extreme temperatures and is the perfect substitute for plastic edge protectors that can weaken in the heat.

High Humidity:

Avoid humidity taking away your staking strength by adding Cornerboard which is not affected by high humidity levels. WrapBoard is also ideal for humid conditions.
