Furniture and shelves come in various shapes and forms, so manufacturers need a versatile and flexible solution for packaging and shipping. Edge protection can handle various furniture sizes and shapes while providing significant cost savings over traditional cardboard packaging. These protectors cushion against the impact on shelving edges and corners while protecting the most delicate furniture components.
