When it comes to safeguarding your shipments, the right edge protection can make all the difference. Traditionally, solid fibre board edge protectors have been a go-to solution, but innovations like Tuff-Angle corrugated edge protectors are quickly gaining popularity due to their superior performance and eco-friendly design.
Why Choose Corrugated Edge Protectors?
1. Vibration Reduction & Cushioning
Tuff-Angle’s corrugated design provides better vibration dampening during transport. This cushioning effect protects your products from micro-movements that can cause internal damage over long distances.
2. Less Scratching and Impact Damage
Unlike solid fibre, which can be abrasive or rigid, corrugated protectors reduce the chances of scratching and denting your products. Their shock-absorbing structure also means fewer problems from impact damage.
3. Enhanced Stacking Strength
Corrugated Tuff-Angle edge protectors offer superior vertical stacking strength. This added stability ensures your pallets can be stacked higher with less risk of collapsing or product crushing.
4. Reduced Damage from Stacking
Thanks to their better conformity and structural design, corrugated edge protectors help distribute weight more evenly-minimizing the risk of stacking-related damage.
Technical Advantage: Tighter Fit, Better Protection
Tuff-Angle’s construction molds closer to the vertical edges of unitized pallets. Solid fibre, on the other hand, is typically plunged into a curved “V” shape that leaves a small gap. This gap can compromise load stability and increase the risk of banding damage. Tuff-Angle eliminates this issue by fitting snugly, providing both stronger support and a cleaner wrap.
Added Benefits of Tuff-Angle Edge Protectors
- Optional Coatings to reduce scuffing
- Lightweight for easier handling and lower shipping costs
- Cost-effective compared to traditional solid fibre
- Environmentally Friendly – often made from recyclable materials and designed with sustainability in mind
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a modern solution that provides better protection, lower costs, and greater sustainability, Tuff-Angle corrugated edge protectors are a smart upgrade from traditional solid fibre board. Whether you’re shipping consumer goods or industrial components, they deliver the performance you need with the environmental responsibility you want.
