What is the difference between foam and plastic corner protectors?
Foam corner protectors offer soft, impact-absorbing cushioning, making them ideal for furniture and delicate surfaces. In contrast, plastic corner protectors are rigid and designed to withstand high-tension strapping, making them better suited for industrial pallet stabilisation.

When should I use foam corner protection for my products?
You should opt for foam corner protection when shipping items with sensitive finishes, such as glass, polished wood, or electronics. The soft texture prevents scratches while the foam corner shape absorbs shocks during transit.

How do protective foam corners prevent transit damage?
Protective foam corners create a buffer zone between the product and its outer packaging. By suspending the product’s most vulnerable points away from the box walls, they significantly reduce the risk of impact damage from drops or shifts.

Is foam corner protection easy to apply?
Yes, foam corner protection solutions are friction-fit, meaning they simply slide onto the corner of the product and stay in place without the need for adhesives or box tape.

What sizes do foam corners come in?
Foam corners are available in various profiles, such as U-shape (for glass edges) and L-shape (for furniture corners). Most are designed to be multi-capacity, meaning they can fit different thicknesses of material.

What are the best protective foam corners for high-gloss furniture?
For high-gloss items, we recommend non-abrasive PE protective foam corners. These are designed not to leave rub marks or residue on delicate lacquered surfaces during long periods of transit.

How does foam corner protection improve the unboxing experience?
Using professional foam corner protection shows customers that you value the safety of their purchase. It provides a premium, organised look inside the ecommerce packaging boxes and reduces the likelihood of messy returns.

Can I use foam corners alongside stretch film?
Definitely. Placing foam corners on your product before applying stretch film pallet wrap ensures that the tension of the film doesn’t crush the product’s edges, maintaining the item’s structural integrity.

Can foam corners be used for home safety?
While our foam corners are primarily designed for industrial packaging mailing, their high-density composition makes them excellent for temporary home safety, such as protecting sharp table edges during a move or renovation.
