Category FAQs
Are our edge protectors recyclable?
Yes. Our kraft board edge protection profiles are 100% recyclable.
What are the benefits of using edge boards on a pallet?
Using kraft edge boards on a pallet provides three major advantages for commercial freight. Manufactured from compressed kraft paper, this edge protection delivers exceptional load strength to prevent crushing and impact damage during forklift handling. When paired with plastic strapping or stretch wrap, edge boards drastically improve pallet load stability, ensuring your consignments stay rigid and secure throughout the UK distribution network.
Do you offer different sizes of edge boards?
Yes. As leading UK packaging suppliers, Optimax stocks a comprehensive selection of dimensions to suit any commercial load. Our industrial edge protection range includes a wide variety of flange widths, lengths, and board thicknesses, allowing you to choose the exact level of structural reinforcement required for your specific transit boxes and pallets.
Can I use edge boards for outdoor storage or in high moisture environments?
Yes. Standard cardboard can soften when exposed to damp conditions, but our moisture resistant edge protection is engineered specifically for challenging environments. Manufactured with a specialised white kraft liner, these durable edge boards provide the perfect high barrier solution for outdoor storage transit, refrigerated logistics, and high moisture warehouse environments, ensuring your pallets remain structurally sound.
Can i protect the corners of my package or load?
Yes. Optimax provides a comprehensive selection of specialised guards designed to eliminate the risk of chipping, scratching, or breakage. We stock a versatile range of options including expanding corner protection and closed corner protection to shield vulnerable edges.
