During packaging and storage or while in transit, packages go through numerous risks and harsh climatic conditions, which can easily cause corner and edge damage to cardboard boxes, skids or pallets. This makes it important for packaging and shipping companies to implement new techniques and usage of edge protectors. They can either be made from metal, plastic or cardboard. The Strapping Protectors made available by us, let the packages withstand heavy impact, along with protecting their edges and corners from tearing and scratching. Consequently, they become the most reliable product in terms of protecting the integrity of different types of shipments, especially the ones containing delicate items. Its important to protect your pallets or skids by securing them to the pallet itself and strapping is used to make the pallet one big shipment. Where the metal or poly strapping travels across the pallet edge or corner you should have strapping guards or protectors under the strapping. The strapping protectors keep the strapping from rubbing and wearing a hole into the product or boxes that are on the skid. It is also recommended to cover the entire pallet with a protective wrap and most organizations will use a shrink or stretch wrap to cover the whole pallet.
Strapping guards are used to protect the edges where the strapping sits on a pallet. Without strapping guards the straps might cut into the load from movement and vibration while in transit. Strapping guards are edge protectors that are made or cut short and can be stored in a box or on a shelf in any shop.
These strapping protectors are designed specifically to protect corrugated fiberboard boxes from abrasions and slashes due to constricted metal or poly strapping that the you use for securing your packages. These strapping guards are made from a strong and durable fiberboard material, which is laminated for extra protection. They are easy to install under the strapping and strapping locks. You can choose from the different sizes that we have listed for our strapping protectors. Some product can also go through tearing or abrasions due to tough transportation and using edge protection and strapping protection helps protect from those issues. Strapping protectors can also be used for moving equipment, file cabinets, furniture, chairs, and just about anything you need to secure to a pallet. This protection can be used for odd shaped parts, hoses, machine shipping or moving or anything that needs to be secured and protected.
In the print trade we would use strapping on all shipments to secure the product to the pallet. You sometimes do not want plastic over freshly printed product the ink needs air to dry to eliminate the risk of offset damage. Skid protection is needed wherever strapping bends around a pallet corner and could rub or cut into the load. Every shipping and receiving department has their own standard or preference for securing pallets but most likely at some point strapping protectors will be needed. We recommend using corrugated sheets and edge protection for maximum protection. Use corrugated sheets along the sides of the pallets to add additional layers of protection to your shipments. Some of our edge and strapping protectors, along with the pallet cones are pre-printed for informing carrier workers about the presence of fragile goods inside the box. Kraft-colored Honeycomb Pallet Runners feature an adhesive that ensures the stability of boxes over pallets. Parts can be covered and protected with honeycomb pallet runners and strapping protectors during shipment. Print shops and binderies use a large amount of strapping protectors because they are tough and reusable. If you ship print jobs from one location to the other or just store them for later distribution strapping guards are a real money saver in the long run. Some shops will keep a used blade that they use just for cardboard or strapping edge protectors. Dont use a new sharp blade but one you are about to send out for sharpening. They can cut the strapping edge protectors to various sizes with their large paper cutters and store them for use later.
Made by laminating strong recycled paperboard into a rigid right-angle shaped strapping protector that can provide pallet edge protection, stabilization, load containment and provide uniform weight distribution. Use strapping guards along with a protective wrap like corrugated wrap or sheets will protect your pallet shipments from not just impact damage but also from dirt, dust, shocks, scratches, fingerprints, vibrations or abrasions that they might go through while in transit. Experienced movers, shippers and flatbed truckers know that corner and strapping protectors and strapping guards are among the more important tools of the trade. You may not realize just how important they are until you don't have them, resulting in torn canvas, tarp or damaged cargo. Do not wait until that happens, it does not hurt to have these reusable strapping protectors or corrugated wrap on hand based on the kinds of cargo you normally carry. Military cargo is top priority and requires proper strap protection, Edge protectors and strapping guards are very useful for important shipments. Strapping protection is used when strapping vehicles down for shipment and the military will use them for heavy drop when vehicles or equipment are secured to aluminum pallets to drop out of high-performance aircraft. Very reusable and economical.
