A local printing press was receiving complaints from customers concerning the condition of their materials upon arriving at their final destinations.

  • Customer complaints
  • Product damage during shipping

After speaking with a trained IPS packaging specialist, the printing press decided to switch to corrugated sheets and edge protectors from traditional wood, ensuring product protection and cost savings.

  • Use of edge protectors
  • Saved 35% in cost savings
  • Decreased customer complaints
  • Recyclable

After speaking with a trained IPS packaging specialist, the printing press decided to switch to corrugated sheets and edge protectors from traditional wood. Edge protectors unitize printed products on the pallet and shield printed materials from damage once the strapping is fastened. Following the use of edge protectors, the entire load is then shrink wrapped. The shrink wrap offers the load further protection and unitization.

Switching to edgeboard also saved the printing press 35% in cost savings!
Switching to edgeboard also saved the printing press 35% in cost savings! Because edgeboard is more lightweight and of higher quality, it can save between 4-11 pound per pallet on freight costs. In addition to cost savings, edgeboard is less bulky to utilize. Customers have reported that products shipped using edgeboard appear nicer and of higher quality. Beyond the above-mentioned countless benefits, edgeboard is easy to recycle, thus, making it even more of an attractive option.
