What are solid board edge guards used for?
Solid board edge guards (also known as cardboard corner protectors or V-boards) are rigid strips used to reinforce the corners of palletised goods. They provide structural support for double-stacking, protect edges from strapping damage, and improve overall load stability during transit across the UK road network.

Can these edge guards help with pallet stacking in my warehouse?By reinforcing the vertical corners of a pallet, our solid board guards significantly increase thecrush resistance” of the load. This allows businesses in high-traffic distribution centres like Warrington or Gateshead to safely double-stack pallets, effectively doubling their storage capacity without risking product damage.

Are your cardboard corner protectors eco-friendly?
Absolutely. In line with 2026 sustainability standards, our edge guards are made from 100% recycled compressed paper and are fully recyclable. They are an excellent plastic-free alternative for firms in Newcastle and Manchester looking to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with the latest environmental packaging regulations.

How do I choose the right size and thickness?
The right guard depends on the weight of your load and the tension of your strapping. For heavy industrial machinery or construction materials, a 4mm or 5mm thickness is recommended. For lighter retail goods, a 2mm or 3mm guard is often sufficient. We offer various lengths to suit standard UK and Euro pallets.

Will they protect my goods from strap bite?
Yes. One of the primary causes of transit damage is heavy-duty strapping cutting into cardboard cartons. Our solid board guards act as a buffer, distributing the tension of the strap across a wider surface area to keep your packaging and your products pristine.

Do you offer moisture-resistant edge guards for Northern weather?
We understand that the North West and North East can be damp! We supply moisture-treated solid board options that resist humidity and light rain, ensuring they don’t lose their structural integrity while being loaded on the docks in Liverpool or stored in unheated warehouses.

Are these better than plastic edge protectors?
It depends on your application. Plastic is often better for heavy, outdoor, or sharp-edged metal loads. However, solid board is generally more cost-effective, easier to recycle, and provides superior grip on cardboard cartons, making it the go-to choice for general palletised shipping.
