Pick the right paper corner board: leg size, thickness and compression chart from 30x30x3 mm (50 kg) to 100x100x10 mm (500 kg), plus profile types.
Paper vs plastic edge protectors compared – cost, strength, recyclability, EU plastic rules and where plastic still wins. From a Guangzhou factory.
Paper corner boards (edge protectors) are laminated kraft-paper L- and U-profiles that shield edges, reinforce stacked cartons and unitise pallet loads. Here is what they do.
Reference compression strength and load figures for 30×30×3 mm up to 100×100×10 mm paper corner boards, plus the factors that change real-world performance.
L-shape, U-shape, wrap-around, buckle-type, flat boards and round strap protectors — a quick guide to the six main edge-protector profiles and where each one fits.
Standard production sizes from 30×30×3 mm to 100×100×10 mm, standard lengths of 0.5 m to 3 m, and custom cutting to any length.
Yes — width, thickness, length, printing, waterproof coating and special profiles (U-shape, wrap-around, buckle type) can all be produced to order.
Standard boards are not waterproof, but PE lamination, waterproof-agent impregnation and wax coating make them suitable for sea freight, humid climates and cold-chain logistics.
No. Paper corner boards are 100% paper, outside the scope of wood packaging rules — no fumigation, no IPPC mark, no delays at customs.
