Cardboard or plastic?
Of course, the environmental aspect also speaks in favour of pure cardboard brackets. The angles are sustainable as they are produced from renewable raw materials. They are also slightly cheaper than plastic edge protectors, but in some cases the strength of pure cardboard angles or cardboard mouldings is not sufficient. They can also swell if there is too much moisture and therefore lose their effectiveness.
Overview of cardboard edge prote
ctors Cardboard edge protectors, also known as cardboard angles, are indispensable aids in the packaging and transport industry. These solid cardboard products provide a simple but effective method of protecting the edges and corners of packaged goods.

Disadvantages of cardboard
edge protectors Despite the many advantages that cardboard edge protectors offer, there are also some disadvantages that should be considered when deciding on the appropriate packaging material. These limitations can vary depending on the area of application and environmental conditions.main disadvantages at a glance:
- Moisture sensitivity: cardboard is susceptible to moisture and water, which can weaken its structural integrity and lead to a loss of its protective function. This is a particularly critical problem in humid or wet environments.
- Limited durability: Compared to more durable materials such as plastic or metal, cardboard offers a limited lifespan, especially with frequent use or in harsh conditions.
- Reduced impact resistance: Although cardboard edge protectors offer basic protection, they can be less resistant to heavy impacts and heavy loads in extreme conditions than more robust materials.
- Limited reusability: Due to their nature and tendency to damage on first use, cardboard edge protectors are often not reusable, resulting in higher consumption rates and potentially more waste.
Considerations for use:
- Storage: Ideally store in a dry and protected place to minimise moisture absorption.
- Transport conditions: When planning transport, consider climatic conditions that could affect the cardboard.
- Frequency of use: Well suited for one-off or short-term applications, consider alternative materials for longer-term requirements.

Installation and application instructions for cardboard edge protectors
The correct installation and application of cardboard edge protectors is crucial to ensure maximum protection for your products. Here are some practical tips and guidelines to help use these protective elements effectively.step-by-step installation guide:
- Surface preparation: ensure that the surfaces to which the edge protector will be applied are clean, dry and free from oil or dust. This ensures optimum adhesion and prevents the protective angle from slipping.
- Correct positioning: Position the edge protector carefully on the corners and edges of the package. Ensure that it is firmly in place and completely covers the edges.
- Fastening: Many cardboard edge protectors have self-adhesive strips for easy installation. Remove the protective film and press the edge protector firmly into place. For models without adhesive strips, use packaging tape or strapping tape to securely fasten the protection.
- Check: After fitting, you should check that the edge protector is in place and ensure that it does not slip. A good fixation is essential to provide protection throughout transport.

Buying advice for cardboard edge protectors
Choosing the right cardboard edge protector requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure that the product effectively fulfils the required protective function. Here are some key aspects to consider when purchasing cardboard edge protectors to make the best choice for your specific needs.Important purchasing criteria:
1. Dimension & fit:
- Size: Make sure that the dimensions of the edge protector fit the dimensions of your product. Check the length, width and thickness of the bracket.
- Adaptability: Consider whether the cardboard angles are suitable for the specific shapes and edges of your products or whether adjustments are necessary.
2.material quality and density:
- Quality: Look for high-quality cardboard that offers sufficient strength and density to ensure protection against impact and pressure.
- Environmental impact: favour products made from recycled materials.
3.need for protection and area of application:
- Transport conditions: Consider the transport and storage conditions under which the products will be shipped. Do you need light protection or do your products need to be protected against heavy impacts?
- Reusability: Consider whether a single use is sufficient or whether you prefer reusable solutions.
4.cost and cost-effectiveness:
