Pallet Corner Protectors

Corrugated container failures almost always begin at the edges, where cartons meet forklift tines and trailer walls.

Paige Packaging’s pallet corner protectors are engineered to prevent that damage before it starts. Each corner post is formed out of a tightly laminated fiberboard that is shaped into a rigid right angle. Placed along a pallet’s vertical edges, the posts reinforce the load and keep it square throughout transit, helping it arrive in the same condition it left the dock.

As part of our protective and ecommerce packaging line, pallet corner posts pair naturally with our corrugated shipping boxes and suspension inserts. Get in touch with us now for more information about our products and services.

A Patented Corrugated Design

Paige Packaging’s patented pallet corner protectors are made from corrugated board, not the rigid chipboard used in traditional corner posts. This construction offers several advantages:

• Competitive pricing: Corrugated construction provides a pricing advantage over traditional rigid chipboard corner posts.
• Simpler recycling: The corrugated material makes the posts easier to recycle, as you can recycle with your other corrugated boxes.
• Lay-flat option: The posts can lay flat, when preferred.

What Are the Benefits of Pallet Corner Protectors?

Corner posts act as structural columns for your pallet. They may be relatively small, but they can make a substantial difference in shipment protection. Here is a breakdown of the most significant benefits:

Better Stacking Strength

Stacking pallets is a common, effective way warehouses save floor space, but it puts tremendous stress on the bottom container as it must reliably support everything above it. Pallet corner protectors absorb a meaningful share of that compression, which greatly reduces the risk of crushed bottom tiers.

Damage-Free Strapping

Tight banding is a must for pallet stabilization. It can also cut straight into a carton if nothing stands between the strap and the edge. Pallet corner protectors spread strap tension along their full length, so the band holds firmly without slicing into the corrugated packaging.

More Stable Unit Loads

Loose cartons almost always shift, and shifting cartons lean. A leaning pallet becomes a hazard on the road and the warehouse floor. Pallet corner protectors square up the load and give stretch wrap a clean, even surface to hug.

Strong, Lightweight, and Fully Recyclable

Plastic and steel edge guards have their place in certain heavy industrial shipments, but fiberboard offers a better balance of performance and cost efficiency for most palletized applications.

Our pallet corner protectors add almost nothing to your freight costs and are strong enough to withstand crushing. Since they’re made of paper fiber, they can also be recycled alongside the rest of the corrugated container.

Custom Pallet Corner Protectors Tailored to Your Specifications

At Paige Packaging, we don’t believe in forcing your load to fit a stock part. Instead, we craft pallet corner protectors that are engineered to support your load.

• Leg width and thickness: Wider legs cover more surface area, while thicker areas provide greater compression strength. We will help determine the right width and thickness based on your product weight and stacking height.
• Custom lengths: We cut corner posts to the exact height of your pallet load, giving you full edge coverage without excess material.
• Printing and coating: Our advanced printing capabilities mean your logo and handling instructions can be printed directly on the face of each post. For shipments facing humid or cold transit conditions, we can also apply a moisture-resistant coating that preserves the posts’ strength.
