Angleboard Angleboard is manufactured with multiple layers of paperboard, laminated with glue and formed into a rigid right angle, providing exceptional strength for load stability and packaging protection. Manufactured on a made-to-order basis, Angleboard is available in a variety of lengths, leg-sizes and thicknesses.
Angle Wrap Features a layer of paper that completely covers the surface of standard Angleboard, allowing our customers the opportunity to offer a superior selection of corner protection... the next generation of Angleboard. AngleWrap's paper covering smooths over rough edges to prevent paper cuts and create better looking point-of-purchase displays. Add your company logo or a special message with one or two-color custom printing.
Cornerboard Made of recycled paper and plastic, Cornerboard resists moisture and sea air, making it ideal for overseas shipments and wet climates. Cornerboard prevents load damage from chafing caused by the constant rocking motion of ocean shipments, allowing loads to arrive at their destinations safely and intact. Cornerboard distributes strap tension over a wider surface area, enabling strapping to be tensioned higher without damaging the load. Available in standard and custom lengths.
Edge Protectors Edge Protectors are short sections of Angleboard used to protect load corners from steel and plastic strapping. They also protect strapping from sharp load corners.
I.D./O.D. Protectors Angleboard inner diameter (I.D.) and outer diameter (O.D.) protectors economically protect coil edges from damage caused by overhead handling equipment, hooks, truck chains and cable tie downs. I.D. protectors are constructed of two alternating pieces of Angleboard that are cut to exact dimensions to fit securely into the coil, protecting the entire inner circumference. Angleboard O.D. protectors are constructed with preformed right angles that are notched and scored to readily conform to the outer circumference of paper rolls. Both I.D. and O.D. protectors are available in standard and custom guage and lengths.
Air Bags Once inflated, Air Bags protect products during all modes of transportation, including over-the-road, overseas container and railcar shipments. Inserted between the palletized goods, they immobilize loads to prevent side-to-side and front-to-back shifting, tumbling and abrasion so loads arrive safely and intact. Easy to install in 30 seconds, Air Bags are approved by the American Association of Railroads (AAR) for use with a variety of products.
Void Fillers Smooth sides and a rigid construction make the Fill-M3 easy to install, so it practically falls into place even in the tightest voids. A strong outer shell protects the inner core from damage, enabling the Fill-M3 to be reused many times. When folded, it lies perfectly flat for easy storage and transportation. Constructed of a strong honeycomb material, this void filler prevents damage caused by side-to-side movement of goods in transit. Hung between loads, it expands downward to fill crosswise voids.
Slipsheets ITW Angleboard slip-sheets offer several advantages over wooden pallets or corrugated slip sheets. They're 80 - 90% less expensive than wooden pallets. And a large quantity of slip-sheets can be stored in the same space as one wooden pallet, lowering your freight costs and reducing warehousing requirements. Slip-sheets are available in several sizes and thicknesses to meet specific handling requirements.
