Packaging for Furniture and Panel Products
Panel loads are often damaged along their edges. Corner protectors cut to the full panel length can be evaluated as a practical improvement for these applications.
The problem
Panel products are long, flat and vulnerable along their edges, so edge protection running the full length of the panel does more for damage rates than any amount of surface wrapping.
What matters here
Specification Points for This Cargo
Full-length profiles
Cut to run the whole panel edge rather than in short sections, which can help avoid unprotected gaps during handling.
Rigid grades
Panel weight concentrates on a narrow edge. Rigid grades are specified where standard board would crush.
Combined with film
Protectors go under the film or strapping so the band cannot cut through to the panel surface.
Lighter than timber
Paper profiles can provide a lightweight alternative to timber edge protection for suitable loads.
Specification
Typical Specification for This Cargo
A starting point, not a fixed answer. Final values are confirmed against your own load before quotation.
| Item | Guidance for this cargo |
|---|---|
| Profile length | Cut to the full panel edge. Short sections leave gaps where a forklift tine can reach the panel surface. |
| Wing width | Sized to cover the panel edge plus a margin onto both faces, so the band cannot slip off the protector. |
| Grade | Rigid grades. Panel weight concentrates on a narrow edge and standard board crushes under it. |
| Combined with film | Protectors go under the film or strapping so the band cannot cut through to the panel surface. |
| What to send us | Panel dimensions and weight, edge thickness, packs per pallet, and strapping or film method. |
