Why paper makes sense for edge and angle protection

Manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies significantly use kraft angle boards and edge protectors. Retailers and wholesalers also use them to protect products during storage and transportation. Paper is one of the best materials for edge and angle protection for a few reasons: 

1. Cost-effective: Paper is a relatively inexpensive material and is readily available, making it an affordable option for edge and angle protection. 

2. Lightweight: Paper is lightweight and easy to handle, making it easy to apply to packages and transport. 

3. Recyclable: Paper is a biodegradable and recyclable material, making it an environmentally friendly option for edge and angle protection. MioPack uses OCC to make paperboard that can become edge and angle protection products. 

4. Customizable: Paper edge and angle protection are versatile enough to be shaped to fit a wide range of products and packaging, making it customizable to suit different needs. 

5. Durable: Paper edge and angle protection are strong and durable enough to withstand the rigors of transportation and storage. 

6. Absorbent: Paper is also an absorbent material, which can help to protect products from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. 

Overall, paper is one of the best materials for edge and angle protection because it is cost-effective, lightweight, recyclable, customizable, durable, and absorbent, making it an ideal solution for protecting products during transportation and storage. 

All edge and angle protection products are made from 100% recycled paperboard and help maintain and protect product integrity. Whether it’s shipping pallets, lumber, coils, or other items that need specialized edge and angle protection, MioPack has the expertise to help get the job done. Let’s say some recycled linerboard becomes corrugated sheets for use in cardboard boxes. When all these boxes have fulfilled their original purpose, the cycle begins again with collecting recovered Old Corrugated Container (OCC). The OCC gets pulped again, but this time, the OCC gets rolled into paper for use in edge and angle board. Or it could work the other way, too. Either way, this completes the Greif circular paperboard economy – generation, collection, transportation, recycling, and manufacturing. Rinse and repeat. Following this cycle enables us to protect our future and be recognized as a global sustainability leader
