Apply securely and protect edges
Jiffy® Ocean Green® U-shaped foam edge protectors protect curved and straight product edges by absorbing shocks during handling, storage and transit. Made from low density polythene foam with an integrated grip-to-clip U profile, they fit securely around vulnerable edges such as picture frames, mirrors, tables and pallets. The non-abrasive foam helps preserve surface quality, resists mould, moisture and temperature changes, and uses 100% recycled materials.
Sold and priced per pack.
Where does Jiffy® Ocean Green® U-shaped foam edge protectors work best?
These U-channel foam edge protectors suit packing benches, despatch areas and goods-out operations where exposed or curved edges need shock absorption during handling and transit.
- Protecting picture frames, mirrors and similar framed items, where the U-shaped profile clips around the edge and helps reduce impact damage.
- Guarding curved product edges, where a standard flat pad does not sit securely enough during packing and movement.
- Using as table edge protectors during internal handling, where a non-abrasive foam surface helps avoid scuffs and knocks.
- Applying to pallet edges, where lightweight foam profiles for packaging add cushioning without adding unnecessary shipping weight.
Not for
- Heavy strapping protection on sharp pallet corners. Choose edge protectors when you need rigid load reinforcement under tensioned strapping.
- Filling large voids inside cartons. Choose void fill when you need to stop products moving inside the box.
- Wrapping full surfaces of delicate items. Choose packaging foam when you need broader cushioning coverage.

Product FAQs
Can these protectors be applied without tape?
Yes. The integrated grip-to-clip shape lets you place the U-shaped foam directly onto the edge of the item. For longer journeys or repeated handling, check the fit during packing and add outer packaging that holds the protector in place.
Will the foam mark polished or finished surfaces?
The low density polythene foam has a non-abrasive surface, so it helps protect product finishes from rubbing and impact during normal handling and transport.
Are these edge protectors suitable for damp warehouse conditions?
Yes. The foam resists mould and moisture, making it suitable for storage and despatch environments where packaging can face humidity or temperature changes.
Do they add much weight to a parcel?
No. Foam protection is lightweight, which helps keep additional parcel weight low while still adding shock absorption to vulnerable edges.
Can the material be recycled after use?
Yes. Ocean Green® edge protector foam is fully recyclable and manufactured from 100% recycled materials.
Also useful
- Postal boxes for enclosing framed or flat items after the foam edge protection has been applied.
- Packaging paper for separating surfaces inside the pack and reducing rub marks between packed items.
- Handling labels for marking consignments that contain framed, glazed or impact-sensitive products.
- Packing tape for securing the outer carton once the protected item is packed.
