Edge protectors, also known as edge corners, are essential tools to keep your products safe from costly damage when they are shipped or stored. At Gateway Packaging, we understand the importance of protecting your valuable goods, which is why we offer a diverse range of edge protectors designed to meet your specific needs. These solutions are especially critical when stabilising pallet corners and ensuring your loads remain secure during transport.
Our edge protectors serve multiple purposes, ensuring that your products remain secure and free from harm. They not only shield your items from potential damage caused by strapping and packaging, but they also provide excellent protection against impacts. Whether you're stabilising a corner pallet or reinforcing cartons in storage, our edge protectors are the perfect solution to improve overall load integrity.
We provide various options when it comes to materials, including non-abrasive cardboard, plastic, and metal. Our flexible white cardboard edge corners are not only cost-effective but also versatile enough to be used with packaging of unconventional shapes. They are particularly effective in safeguarding sharp pallet corners, providing protection for both the strap and the product. If you have timber packs, these edge corners are ideal for protecting the edges of your timbers.
Our white cardboard edge protectors come in different sizes to accommodate a wide range of applications. One popular size is 50mm x 50mm x 4mm(thick) x 50mm(long), which ensures stability and protects your products during transit. Additionally, we offer measurements ranging from 60mm x 60mm x 4mm thick x 1000mm length to 60mm x 60mm x 4mm thickness x 2100mm length, allowing you to find the perfect fit whether you're securing a small parcel or reinforcing a full corner pallet configuration.
For heavy-duty protection, our metal edge protectors are robust corner protectors designed for demanding applications. They measure 55mm in length and 20mm x 20mm in size, guaranteeing durability and reliability. These are excellent for reinforcing pallet corners under high tension or during extended storage periods.
If you prefer resilient plastic edge protectors, we have you covered. Our plastic corner protectors measure 62mm in length and 35mm x 35mm in dimensions. These heavy-duty black protectors effectively prevent strapping from cutting into your products, thanks to their moulded ridges that securely hold straps up to 19mm in place—ideal for strapping a corner pallet without causing damage to the goods underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
A pallet corner protector is a rigid angle made from cardboard, plastic, or metal, used to reinforce and stabilise the edges of palletised loads. These pallet protectors prevent strapping damage, absorb impact during transit, and help maintain the integrity of your products. They’re essential for reducing costly product damage and improving load stability during shipping and storage.
You should use pallet corner protectors any time you’re securing loads with strapping, stretch film, or transporting fragile items on pallets. These protectors are especially useful in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and construction where heavy or sensitive goods are handled. Pallet protectors add a layer of security to pallet corners, preventing shifting and corner crushing during transit.
Pallet protectors are available in cardboard, plastic, and metal. Cardboard options are lightweight and recyclable—ideal for general use. Plastic pallet corner protectors are durable and weather-resistant, while metal protectors offer superior strength for heavy-duty applications. The best choice depends on your load weight, transport conditions, and whether you require a reusable or eco-friendly solution.
Yes, pallet corner protectors play a vital role in load stability, helping to distribute pressure evenly and support vertical stacking. By using pallet protectors, businesses can reduce load movement and meet freight compliance guidelines for secure transport. This added stability also helps reduce rejected deliveries and improves customer satisfaction.
Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), penalties for load restraint non-compliance can be issued to any party in the Chain of Responsibility — including consignors, packers, and loaders — not only the transport operator or driver.

Using correctly rated strapping, stretch film, and edge protectors from Gateway Packaging forms part of a defensible CoR compliance approach.
