Whether you have an internet-based business or a shipping company, most business owners and logistics managers know that shipping involves much more than putting items into a box and hoping they make it to their destination in one piece. Besides getting a handle on hidden shipping fees and missing parcels, you also need to keep damage claims to a minimum. Here is a bit of advice from the packing pros: Avoid Inadequate Packaging Don’t underestimate the importance of high-quality packaging. While the inferior packaging may be cheaper, you will run the risk of a company refusing to process your damage claims if they can prove that inadequate packaging was used. Different products and items need to be packed, loaded and transported differently, so make sure you’ve invested in the right packaging. Weigh Items Yourself If you don’t have a commercial scale to weigh the items that you want to be transported, then it’s likely that you are filling in an estimated account. Shipping companies re-weigh boxes and items before they are transported and will often charge you if the original estimate isn’t in line with their weight measurements. Avoid Potential Damages Throughout the Journey with Corner Guards Despite a shipping company’s best intentions, too often the product arrives damaged at its destination due to products being moved between different carriers and distribution facilities. One of the best preventative measures you can take is investing in corner guards. When applied correctly, the product (such as furniture or cabinets, for example) is protected with low calliper edge board to avoid the possibility of damage during shipping. Whether you need pallet edge protectors, box edge protectors or advice about edge protection packaging, Corner Edge has the solutions you need. Contact us for more information today.

Making sure that your products are shipped safely and securely can be challenging. Even when manufacturers and industrial companies take special care to wrap products and load them onto trucks, breakages can easily occur between manufacturer and distributor. Corner guards can help prevent damage in many ways. When they are used correctly, they can make a significant impact when it comes to limiting the damage to your items.  Corner protectors, for example, ensure that your products are protected with low caliper edge board. These types of corner guards are used when transporting furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, etc. Corner-Edge Products Ltd. offers a variety of corner guards that are uniquely tailored for specific shipping purposes: PROTECT-O-GUARD® is made of prime clipboard and set at 90-degree angles to fit snugly against any straight-edged item. These corner edges are customized according to specifications. So, whether a company is manufacturing small items or large tables, they can be placed along the entire perimeter for full coverage. The boards can also be customized with certain colours, wording, graphics and logos. The WRAP-O-GUARD® is a different type of edge protector that is used on items that are shaped a little differently than most. These edge protectors are unique in the sense that they can be wrapped around curved or rounded edges. If you are transporting cylindrical objects like paper rolls, barrels or drums, for example, then this would be the ideal solution. These are only some of the packaging options that are available. Other options include pallet edge protectors, edge impact protection and box edge protectors. Contact Corner-Edge Products Ltd. to find the perfect edge guards for your business.
