Edge Defender - Edge Protectors

Edge protectors for pallets shield products from strapping, dents and edge crush damage while improving pallet stability during storage, handling and shipping.

Millwood’s Edge Defender is a right-angle guard built from durable laminated recycled paperboard. By reinforcing pallet edges, it disperses pressure and reduces abrasion from strapping or forklift handling. Edge protectors also strengthen unit loads, ensuring cartons stay intact and shipments remain secure. This protection helps reduce freight claims and keeps products in excellent condition throughout the supply chain. By adding edge protectors, companies can safeguard high-value loads, cut costs from damage and reinforce packaging with an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution.

Edge protectors distribute strapping force across a larger surface, protecting cartons and palletized products from dents, abrasions or crushing caused by tight straps.

Without edge guards, straps often dig into packaging, leaving marks, crushing corners or collapsing edges. Millwood’s Edge Defender acts as a barrier, dispersing tension and preventing these issues while maintaining secure unitization. The rigid design also strengthens pallet corners against impact during loading and stacking. By reducing concentrated pressure points, edge protectors not only protect product quality but also allow for tighter, more effective strapping. This combination ensures safe, secure and stable shipments from warehouse to customer.
