Just think about the wide range of items that you may have been called upon to pack, store or transport over the years... from panels and mirrors to doors, furniture and other general products. Can you be absolutely sure that those items arrive at their destination in the best possible condition? Using edge protectors supplied by Simpson Packaging your product is more likely to arrive in the condition it left you in.

Just think about the wide range of items that you may have been called upon to pack, store or transport over the years... from panels and mirrors to doors, furniture and other general products. Can you be absolutely sure that those items arrive at their destination in the best possible condition? Using edge protectors supplied by Simpson Packaging (http://www.simpson-packaging.co.uk) your product is more likely to arrive in the condition it left you in.

You might think that you've packaged your product perfectly well in readiness for delivery by your own transport or that of a third party logistics provider, taking advantage for use of the likes of cartons, bubble wrap, strong adhesive tapes or paper products for wrapping. However with the edges of many items always being especially susceptible to chipping, scratches and other impacts, a little more targeted protection could be just what they need.

Cardboard edge protectors here at Simpson Packaging are available in a number of smaller length profiles or larger 1 metre "L" shape lengths. Made to measure “L” and "U" shape profiles can also be manufactured to your own requirements, allowing you to take advantage of their full range of potential uses. From the protection of panel products or other edges that require protection ready for despatch or the stabilisation and additional protection of palletised products for warehousing and during transit.

Imagine having an expensive artwork to transport, complete with a unique gilt edged frame. With our polyethylene foam edge protectors, you can suitably shield all vulnerable parts of that frame with either “L” or “U” shape profiles which easily mould to fit the frames shape and absorb impacts once fully packed. Or maybe there's a glass panel that you need to transport, where any chip that is sustained in transit will have an adverse effect on the overall look when installed? Polyethylene foam Screen Guard will tightly grip the glasses contours and can be supplied in 2 metre length profiles on 330 metre rolls for large scale requirements.

Companies should make edge protectors an essential purchase as it makes good business sense to appropriately protect your items. Not least as in today's world of instant online reviews, the reputational harm of just one or two poorly packaged and subsequently damaged items can be considerable and costly to your company. They are also easy to use and apply to the product or package and with so many types can cost from very little. Cardboard or plastic edge or corner protectors are often the cheapest, with many sizes and styles, including plastic expanding edge protector options being available.

You might have warehouse pallets which could be damage in the absence of edge protectors during manoeuvring, or a carton and some bubble wrap on their own may seem insufficient packaging for that important item, which with the use of a suitable edge protector or corner can reinforce the whole package.
