Solid, shockproof and ready to use
L Profile Cardboard Edge Protectors protect product edges from tight strapping, knocks and handling damage during storage or transit. Made from brown recycled corrugated paper, each solid six-ply moulded profile gives shockproof 18 mm thick protection and fits onto item edges before strapping. These perforated cardboard edge protectors are available in 50 mm and 80 mm widths, with each 1.2 m length pre-cut every 200 mm so teams can snap and tear to size.
Sold in packs, priced per profile.
Where do L Profile Cardboard Edge Protectors work best?
L Profile Cardboard Edge Protectors work best in packing, palletising and storage operations where strapping pressure or knocks can crush exposed edges.
- Protecting strapped cartons where tight banding can mark, dent or cut into the outer board.
- Securing palletised goods where corner and edge impact can occur during handling, storage and transit.
- Packing long or irregular items where a 1.2 m profile can be placed along vulnerable edges before strapping.
- Reducing plastic packaging in despatch areas by using corrugated edge protectors made from 100% recycled paper.
Not for
- Wet or high-moisture applications, as these cardboard protectors are made from corrugated paper. For moisture-resistant pallet protection, choose pallet wrap alongside suitable pallet edge protection.
- Cushioning fragile surfaces from vibration or abrasion across the full face of a product. Use packaging foam where surface cushioning matters.
- Protecting round products or corners that need a shaped cap. Choose edge protectors where individual corner coverage works better.

Product FAQs
How do I fit these corrugated edge protectors?
Place the L profile directly over the product edge, then apply strapping over the protector. The cardboard spreads the strap pressure across the edge instead of concentrating force on one line.
Can I adjust the length without tools?
Yes. Each 1.2 m profile has pre-cut corners every 200 mm, so you can snap and tear it to the length needed for the pack.
Are these suitable for storage as well as transport?
Yes. Use them before strapping goods for storage, internal movement or despatch where exposed edges need protection from pressure and knocks.
What makes these perforated cardboard edge protectors practical for packing benches?
The 200 mm perforations help operators size each profile quickly, reducing time spent cutting and limiting excess material.
Can the protectors be recycled after use?
They're made from 100% recycled corrugated paper. Recycle them according to your local waste handling guidelines if they remain clean and accepted in your paper and cardboard stream.

Our product advice
Unsure of which protectors to buy for your packaging needs? See our recommendations and advice below:
For heavy-duty protection: if you need robust protection and are dealing with heavy or large cartons and boxes, Premium Moulded Plastic Edge Protectors are ideal due to their added grip features and suitability for wider strapping. Please note: ref CPLSPIKE is designed with an integral spike to perforate the carton or box surface in order to add extra grip. Avoid this option if you do not want to pierce the packaging.
For versatility and convenience: Multi-Purpose Moulded Plastic Edge Protectors are great for general use, especially if you need a flexible solution that can be easily dispensed and snapped off as needed.
For standard, everyday use: Standard Moulded Plastic Edge Protectors offer a good balance of protection and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for most general packaging needs.
When choosing your protectors, ensure the width (in mm) is compatible with your chosen Polyester or Polypropylene Strapping.
