High-Strength Carton Board Edge Protectors for Pallets
Palletised products can be exposed to pressure, impact and movement during shipment, handling and storage.
Eltete Edgeboard is a strong laminated carton board profile designed to protect product edges and corners while supporting pallet stability and stacking strength.
It can be used externally on pallet corners or placed inside boxes to strengthen the packaging structure. Eltete describes Edgeboard as a flexible, economical, recyclable, easy-to-use and strong transport packaging solution.
What Is an Edgeboard Protector?
An Edgeboard protector is a laminated carton board profile used around the edges or corners of products, cartons and palletised loads.
Eltete Edgeboard can be used for:
Pallet corner protection
Product edge protection
Palletisation
Load stabilisation
Unitisation
Internal carton reinforcement
Additional stacking strength
Eltete states that Edgeboard is suitable for different palletisation, stabilisation and unitisation requirements.
What Is Eltete Edgeboard Made From?
Eltete’s transport packaging products are produced using paperboard materials such as kraftliner, testliner, coreboard and other similar recycled paperboards.
According to Eltete, carefully selected materials with a long-fibre structure and a special production method help create products with strong performance.
The laminated compact carton board structure provides protection against powerful shocks that may threaten products during transportation.
Eltete’s protection profiles are designed to protect different product shapes during shipment, handling and storage. Individual sizes and quality options can be matched to each application.
Why Use Edge Protectors on Pallet Loads?
Pallet corners and product edges are important parts of a transport packaging system.
Eltete Edgeboards can be installed externally around the corners of a palletised load. They provide the pallet with the stability required during handling and transportation.
Edgeboards can also be placed inside cartons to provide additional stacking strength.
By combining Edgeboard with other packaging materials, businesses can create a complete transport packaging solution for protecting and stabilising their products.
Eltete’s Transport Packaging Solutions concept combines products such as Edgeboard, Slip Sheets, Paper Pallets and Wrap Around with stretch film, plastic strapping or steel strapping.
Benefits of Eltete Edgeboard
Strong Corner Protection
Eltete Edgeboard is made from strong laminated carton board.
Its compact paperboard structure provides strong protection against shocks during product transportation.
It can be positioned around the external corners of pallet loads to protect vulnerable areas during shipment, storage and handling.
Improved Pallet Stability
Eltete states that Edgeboard provides pallets with the stability they require.
It is suitable for stabilising and unitising palletised products as part of a complete transport packaging system.
Additional Stacking Strength
Edgeboards can be placed inside boxes to provide additional stacking strength.
Eltete also explains that stacking applications require high-quality raw materials and extra-strong packaging profiles. The correct profile is selected according to the strength and other requirements of each application.
Suitable for Strapping Applications
Eltete Edgeboard can be used together with plastic or steel strapping as part of the company’s Transport Packaging Solutions system.
Eltete Malaysia also has in-house equipment for conducting strapping strength tests for Edgeboard when required.
Flexible Applications
Eltete describes Edgeboard as a flexible and easy-to-use transport packaging product.
It can be used:
Outside pallet corners
Inside cartons
Around product edges
With palletised goods
With strapping
With stretch film
As part of customised packaging systems
The size and quality of Eltete protection profiles can be selected according to each application.
Wood-Free Transport Packaging
Eltete Edgeboard is a neutral, wood-free transport packaging component.
Eltete states that it can be accepted worldwide without the fumigation requirements associated with wooden packaging materials.
Suitable for Food Transportation

Palletisation
Stabilisation
Unitisation
External corner support
Internal package reinforcement
Stacking applications
When combined with stretch film, plastic strapping or steel strapping, Edgeboard becomes part of a complete system designed around the product’s transport packaging requirements.
Eltete selects suitable packaging profiles after studying the individual application and its strength requirements.
Can Edgeboard Strengthen Carton Boxes?
Yes. Eltete states that Edgeboard can be installed inside boxes to provide stacking strength.
This allows the Edgeboard to support the carton structure from inside rather than being used only around an external pallet load.
Eltete’s profiles are intended to protect products during:
Shipment
Handling
Storage
The size and quality can be matched to the specific packaging application.
Edgeboard for Strapping Protection
Strapping is one of the materials used in Eltete’s complete Transport Packaging Solutions concept.
Eltete combines Edgeboard with:
Plastic strapping
Steel strapping
Stretch film
Other paper-based transport packaging products
This system allows the packaging components to be selected and combined according to the product and transport requirements.
Eltete Malaysia can also perform an in-house strapping strength test for Edgeboard when required.
Edgeboard for Stacked Pallets
Eltete states that stacking requires high-quality raw materials and extra-strong profiles.
The company can manufacture these profiles using special methods and select the appropriate packaging profile based on a study of the individual application.
The final product can be evaluated through Eltete’s quality-control process, including compression, bending and strapping tests where required.
Using Edgeboard inside cartons can also provide additional stacking strength. When used externally, it supports pallet stability and unitisation.
