Shipping is the last step in a chain of effort to provide your clients with high-quality products. Effective protective packaging is crucial to safeguard goods from damage during handling and transit. Damaged packaging and goods can lead to delays, customer dissatisfaction and financial losses. NotchBoard and VBoard are innovative solutions for edge and corner protection.
These packaging solutions offer maximum protection with fewer materials, reducing shipping costs and your environmental impact. NotchBoard and VBoard are engineered for superior durability and ease of use.
The Importance of Edge and Corner Protection
The edges and corners are the most vulnerable parts of packaged goods. They are concentrated stress points most likely to be impacted during handling and transit. Corners and edges are often exposed when packages are stacked, moved or loaded and can suffer damage without proper protection.
Crushed and dented edges weaken the structural identity of the package, increasing the possibility of damaging its contents. Ensuring proper packaging protection will help you save money and resources from returns, replacements and protect your brand’s reputation. Edge and corner protectors reinforce your packaging, providing an additional layer against turbulence and vibration.
