The safe transport of goods is of crucial importance in the logistics industry. Damaged products lead to financial losses, angry customers and a bad brand image. There are simple and effective solutions to optimally protect your goods. Edge protection angles and hard paper sleeves offer reliable options for packaging and transport protection to prevent damage and increase the efficiency of your processes. This article explains why these products are indispensable and how they can be used specifically in logistics.

The importance of packaging solutions in logistics

Protection against transport damage

During transport, goods are exposed to numerous dangers. Mechanical loads such as pressure, impacts or constrictions caused by strapping can cause considerable damage. Edge protection angles offer a robust solution by protecting the corners and edges of the products. Especially in pallet-based logistics, they help to ensure the stability of the goods during transport and storage. Hard paper sleeves also ensure the safety of rolling or sensitive products thanks to their high resilience and durability.

Cost savings through damage prevention

Every transport damage entails costs - be it through replacement, return shipment or lost agreements with business partners. The targeted use of edge protection angles and hard paper sleeves reduces these risks considerably. Companies can not only save direct costs, but also increase customer satisfaction through punctual and undamaged deliveries.

Sustainability as a competitive advantage

Many of our products, such as edge protection angles and hard paper sleeves, are made of sustainable materials. Since they are 100% recyclable, these packaging solutions help to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. Companies can thus improve their environmental balance and at the same time position themselves as an environmentally conscious partner - an important factor for many environmentally conscious customers.

Tips for choosing the right packaging solution

1. Choosing the right material

Consider the specific requirements of your goods. Cardboard corner protectors are ideal for light and medium-weight products. More robust options made of hard paper are ideal for heavy, sensitive goods.

2. Tailor-made dimensions

Make sure that the corner protectors and hard paper sleeves fit the dimensions of the products exactly. Packaging solutions that are too large or too small can impair their protective function.

3. Include sustainability

Use recyclable materials to reap both environmental and economic benefits. Environmentally friendly packaging not only strengthens the environmental balance, but also the image of your company.

4. Consider environmental conditions

Moisture-resistant or water-repellent options are ideal for storage and transport in challenging environments.

5. Combination with complementary packaging solutions

Combine edge protection angles with stretch film or strapping bands for maximum protection.
