Challenge/Opportunity

The request developed as a need to have a protection system against damage that can handle heavy items like furniture made from solid wood;

The chosen solution

We have chosen a composite of cardboard and EPE foam. Two exterior cardboard layers and expanded PE foam of 33 kg/m³ density and 50mm thickness as a middle layer;

Advantages

• Protection in critical areas like the inside corners of the box;
• High shock absorbance;
• Used in combination with “L” shape protective profiles, it can give complete cushion along the product edges;
• Added protection due to better spacing between the product and the box walls / cardboard layers;
• This solution can even fit low height rectangular products like boards and doors, as the protective corner offers a stable surface for stacking products;
• The high density foam also offers protection for oversized and overweight products;
