The C Channel Cardboard Corner Protector is a versatile, eco-friendly packaging component designed to reinforce right-angle corners during transit and storage. Constructed from recycled cardboard (1.5–10 mm thickness) with adjustable density, its C-shaped profile delivers three-sided protection against impacts, stacking pressure, and abrasion—critical for preserving product integrity. FSC-certified and customizable in size, this protector balances durability and sustainability, making it indispensable for industries like furniture, automotive, and logistics. Its lightweight design reduces shipping costs while its recyclable composition aligns with corporate sustainability targets.
Material: Recycled cardboard (1.5–10 mm thickness, with 20–40% recycled content depending on thickness)
Profile Design: C-shaped (90° angle) for three-sided coverage, with 1–3 mm lip width for secure fitting
Dimensions: 15–120 mm width, 30 mm–endless length (customizable in 10 mm increments)
Certifications: FSC chain-of-custody certification, BPI-compliant for compostability, REACH compliant (no harmful chemicals)
Compression Strength: ≥2200 N (longitudinal) for 6 mm thickness; higher for thicker variants
Finish: Smooth or ribbed surface (ribbed option increases grip by 30% for strapping applications)
Temperature Resistance: Stable performance between -20°C to 80°C
Structural Reinforcement
The C-channel design distributes weight evenly across three surfaces, increasing stacking stability by 50% and reducing corner collapse risks in palletized loads. Thicker variants (8–10 mm) provide industrial-grade protection for heavy machinery parts.
Easy Installation
Installs in seconds with adhesive, staples, or tape—no special tools required. Pre-scored edges allow for quick trimming to custom lengths, while self-adhesive options (available on request) eliminate the need for additional bonding materials.
Customizable Options
Available in 12 standard sizes and unlimited custom dimensions, with thickness options tailored to specific load requirements: 1.5–3 mm for lightweight items, 4–6 mm for medium loads, and 7–10 mm for heavy-duty applications.
Eco-Friendly
Made from recycled materials and fully recyclable, it reduces carbon footprint by 45% compared to plastic corner protectors. Its biodegradable composition ensures it breaks down in industrial compost facilities within 120 days.
Furniture Manufacturing: Protects wooden table legs, cabinet corners, and sofa armrests during shipping, reducing damage claims by 35%.
Automotive Parts: Secures metal components, plastic casings, and glass panels from impact during transit between factories and dealerships.
Construction Materials: Reinforces drywall sheets, pipes, and lumber during transport, preventing edge crumbling and reducing waste.
Electronics: Shields delicate devices like printers, servers, and medical equipment from corner dents during delivery.
Retail Shipping: Safeguards high-value items like artwork, musical instruments, and luxury goods for online and in-store deliveries.
Q: What is the recommended adhesive for installation?
A: For permanent bonding, use construction-grade adhesive (e.g., LePage PL9000) which provides 200 N/inch bond strength. For temporary applications, double-sided tape (3M VHB recommended) offers easy removal without residue.
Q: Can it be used with other packaging materials?
A: Yes. Pair it with stretch wrap (for pallet stabilization), foam inserts (for shock absorption), or corrugated boxes (for full enclosure) to create multi-layer protection systems.
Q: What is the maximum temperature resistance?
A: It performs optimally between -20°C to 80°C. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 80°C may cause slight warping, while freezing temperatures do not affect structural integrity.
Q: How does it compare to L-shaped corner protectors?
A: The C-channel design offers three-sided coverage (vs. two-sided for L-shaped), making it ideal for high-risk corners prone to impacts from multiple directions. It also provides 40% greater compression resistance for stacked loads.
Q: Can it be recycled after use?
A: Yes. Simply separate it from other packaging materials and dispose of it with corrugated cardboard waste—it’s accepted in 98% of curbside recycling programs worldwide.
