Frequently Asked Questions
How do corner protectors prevent strapping damage?
Corner protectors distribute strapping tension evenly across edges, preventing crushing, dents or punctures caused by tight pallet straps.
Without corner protection, straps can cut into packaging, collapsing corners or weakening cartons. Millwood’s Corner Defender acts as a buffer, dispersing pressure over a wider surface to minimize damage. The rigid angle also provides reinforcement against stacking and forklift handling, keeping pallets stable and secure. This not only reduces claims and returns but also ensures strapping remains tight and effective throughout the shipping journey. By using corner protectors for shipping, companies extend packaging life and protect valuable products during distribution.
Are paper corner protectors sustainable and recyclable?
Yes—paper corner protectors for shipping are 100% recyclable, making them an eco-friendly alternative to plastic or foam corner guards.
Millwood’s Corner Defender is manufactured from laminated recycled paper, ensuring strength while supporting sustainability. After use, these protectors can be recycled through standard recovery systems, minimizing waste. They provide dependable protection without the environmental burden of non-recyclable alternatives. This makes them an ideal choice for companies balancing product safety with green supply chain goals. By choosing recyclable corner protectors, businesses achieve both load securement and corporate sustainability objectives, proving that strong cargo protection and environmental responsibility can work together.
Do corner protectors improve pallet stability?
Yes—corner protectors improve pallet stability by reinforcing load containment and making strapping and stretch wrap applications more effective.
Millwood’s Corner Defender strengthens pallets at their weakest points—the corners. By creating solid edges, they give straps and stretch wrap a secure surface to grip, reducing load shifting, tipping, and collapse. This extra reinforcement allows for safer stacking in warehouses, better stability in trailers, and reduced handling issues across the supply chain. The result is a more secure pallet load that maintains integrity from origin to delivery. For companies seeking to reduce freight damage and improve efficiency, corner protectors are a proven solution.
