UChannel®

Custom Window and Door Packaging

Let’s Get Started

UChannel is engineered to deliver precise three-sided shipping protection for doors and windows, including garage doors. Its unique single-piece construction can be formed into a wide variety of widths and leg lengths, offering a cost- and time-saving custom substitute for expensive wood crates or hard-to-handle corrugate.

UChannel is manufactured using laminated paperboard up to 18″ wide and is also available in asymmetrical leg width combinations that allow for highly specialized applications. Standard caliper options range from 0.080″ to 0.600″. Standard leg lengths extend to 300″, but longer custom lengths are also available.

Both standard and custom print options are available for this product.

Superior Edge Protection

Damage to doors and windows during transport and storage costs you significant financial loss. Including edge protectors for doors and windows save your business money and decreases product losses. The shipment will arrive intact, bolstering your brand reputation and boosting customer satisfaction.

UChannel shipping protection withstands the tension of pallet straps and ensures your doors and windows are usable, acceptable and saleable to the end user. Each link in the supply chain costs a certain amount, which adds to the final product. Damaged products impact your margins, making adequate protection of your doors and windows a must.
