They are fully compatible with pallet strapping, container packing straps, and all standard load restraint systems.
Industrial-Grade Corner Protection with Australian Standards
Our corner protection solutions are used across the country to meet Chain of Responsibility requirements under Australian transport regulations. By reducing strap pressure points and minimising damage to product packaging, they form a critical part of compliant load restraint systems.
- Material Options: Choose between heavy-duty plastic edge protectors and recyclable cardboard corner protector styles
- Stability Boost: Helps straps hold tension across palletised and irregular loads
- Damage Control: Prevents tearing, crushing, or puncturing of cargo packaging
- Versatile Fit: Available in multiple lengths, thicknesses, and profiles for cartons, drums, timber, and more
Product Range for Edge Protectors
There are mainly plastic corner protectors and cardboard corner protectors available for heavy-duty use.
Plastic Corner Protectors
Our plastic corner protectors are manufactured from high-impact polymers with structural ribs that distribute strap pressure evenly across pallet edges. They are best used with heavy goods or sharp-cornered cartons. The plastic corner guards are available in standard and extended lengths.
- Best for high-tension pallet strapping
- Plastic Corner Protectors are reusable and weather-resistant
- Compatible with 13mm–32mm strap widths
- UV-stabilised for use in Australian outdoor conditions
- Plastic edge protectors are available in various profiles
Cardboard Corner Protector
The cardboard corner protector range is crafted from compressed laminated board for eco-friendly performance. As they are cardboard corner protectors, they are lightweight yet strong enough to support vertical stacking and protect against strap pressure during stretch wrapping or strapping.
- Suitable for fragile, painted, or printed surfaces
- Cost-effective for export and retail packaging
- Cardboard corner protectors are very recyclable
- Available in leg lengths from 30mm to 100mm
- Cardboard edge protectors are suitable for lightweight and general freight applications
Applications of Edge Protectors
Both plastic corner protectors and cardboard protectors have multiple applications. Used across a wide variety of industries, corner protectors provide critical support to goods strapped or stretch-wrapped on pallets, in crates, or inside containers:
- Freight & Distribution: Prevents crushing of cartons during unitisation
- Export Shipping: Ideal with container packing straps for long-haul protection
- Warehousing: Maintains the shape and stackability of mixed loads
- Timber & Building Products: Shields the edges of painted or laminated materials
- Retail & FMCG: Prevents strap marks on consumer-facing packaging
For best results, pair with our range of pallet strapping, plastic edge protectors, and full load restraint systems to ensure complete cargo security from dispatch to delivery.
Plastic corner protectors are ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring maximum durability and moisture resistance, while cardboard corner protectors are suitable for lighter-duty use where cost-effectiveness and recyclability are priorities.

X-Pak Global’s cardboard and plastic corner protectors range is fully compatible with all major strapping and bundling systems, including:
- Polywoven and composite straps
- Steel and PET strapping
- Manual and battery-powered tensioning tools
- Container packing straps are used in export and shipping applications
