Cardboard Angle 35×35×3 mm, length 1100 mm - Full-size protective column 📦
Three millimeters of solid cardboard on each side of the profile create a durable barrier protecting high pallet loads from crushing, friction and cutting of the film. The 35 × 35 mm arms distribute the pressure of the tapes and the weight of the stacked pallets over a wide edge surface, minimizing the risk of point damage. The extra length of 1100 mm covers almost the entire height of a standard EUR pallet (1200 mm), so the column of boxes maintains rigidity from the floor to the top layer. One piece weighs only ≈ 0.150 kg, and the natural brown (KRAFT paper) emphasizes the eco-friendly nature of the packaging.
The angle acts like a "load-bearing column" when packing 85ʺ televisions, side-by-side refrigerators, vertically packed furniture, boxes with bicycles or large-size e-commerce shipments. The lightweight construction reduces transportation costs and allows for a reduction in the thickness of the stretch film, which translates into a smaller carbon footprint of the shipment.
What is a solid cardboard angle?
Cardboard angle is a protective profile in the shape of the letter "L", covering two planes of the package and the corner. The 3 × 35 × 35 mm version combines a small arm width with the full height of the pallet, creating a lightweight yet durable frame. Multi-layer solid cardboard disperses compressive forces during PET/steel banding, forklift transport, and stacking. A length of 1100 mm protects the entire side of tall cardboard boxes or columns of granulate bags.
The assembly takes a few seconds: set four profiles at the corners of the pallet before wrapping it with stretch film. After unloading, the angles can be removed, folded into a stack and reused or recycled.
Material - solid cardboard (KRAFT)
The profile is made from layers of high-density KRAFT solid cardboard. Laminating sheets at a 90° angle creates a stiff beam resistant to compression and bending, and at the same time lightweight and 100% biodegradable.
- Composition: 100% cellulose fibers - no plastic, halogens, or toxic additives.
- Layered structure: 9-11 chemically pressed paper sheets to a thickness of 3 mm.
- Crush resistance: withstands the pressure of strapping tapes and the weight of subsequent pallets without deformation.
- Neutrality: odorless, chemically neutral - safe in indirect contact with food.
- Finishing options: PE hydrophobic coating, chamfered edges, non-standard lengths.
🛡️ Properties of the angle - protection & rigidity
- 🛡️ Full 360° protection: 35mm arms protect the corners of the entire height of the pallet.
- 📏 Pressure distribution: eliminates point cardboard crushes during strap tensioning.
- 🏗️ Vertical stabilization 1100 mm: rigid column prevents high loads from wobbling.
- 🔄 Reusability: profile retains its shape in many rotation cycles.
- ⚖️ Lightweight, yet durable: only 0.150 kg with full corner pallet protection.
Resistance to external factors
- 💧 Humidity: paper absorbs water; PE coating limits absorption to < 1 %.
- 🧪 Chemicals: neutral to most goods; PE coating protects against oils and greases.
- 🌡️ Temperature: stable from −25 °C to +75 °C – does not crumble in frost, does not soften in heat.
- 🔥 Flammability: class B2 – non-dripping, self-extinguishing after flame is removed.
- ⚡ ESD safe: no electrostatic charges – safe with metal straps.
🚚 Applications in transport and logistics
- Large RTV & Household appliances – SBC refrigerators, 75-85ʺ televisions.
- Vertically packed furniture – wardrobes, shelves, sliding doors.
- Bags of granulate, pellet, feed – a full column protected against film breaking.
- Shrink packs of beverages on 800 mm half-pallets – protection at PET straps.
- 110 cm plates and strips – edge protection against chipping.
🏭 Industries using 35 mm × 1100 mm corner guards
- Consumer electronics & premium appliances 📺🧊 – manufacturers and distribution centers of 75–85ʺ televisions, side-by-side refrigerators, and drawer freezers use corner guards to protect tall boxes from crushing when stacking and tightening PET straps.
- Panel furniture & DIY retail 🛋️🛠️ – packing lines for wardrobes, shelves, and door panels put boxes "standing up"; the 1100 mm profile stiffens the edges along the entire height, preventing the thin cardboard from collapsing under the weight of the return pallet.
- Fuel materials & agro-granulates 🔥🌾 – producers of wood pellets, fertilizers, and feeds arrange bags in 1.2 m columns; long corner guards distribute the force of stretch film, preventing bag breakage and spillage of the load.
- Contract logistics 3PL / XXL fulfillment 🚚💼 – operators of distribution centers consolidate diverse loads on mixed pallets; 35 × 1100 mm profiles allow for strapping collective boxes of different heights without the risk of crushing them.
- Retail – POS pallet display exhibitions 🏬🎨 – merchandising agencies use corner guards to reinforce display pallets with beverages, cosmetics, and seasonal decorations, so that the structures withstand transport and a week-long display in the store.
- Wood & construction industry 🪵🏗️ – sawmills and OSB/MDF plate wholesalers use profiles to protect the edges of cut semi-finished products (the 1100 mm length fits popular 1100 × 600 mm modules), facilitating the safe securing of steel straps.
💰 Logistic and economic benefits
- 💸 Low unit CAPEX: several times cheaper than plastic or steel corner.
- ⚖️ Weight ↓, freight ↓: 0.150 kg does not increase transport costs.
- 📐 Nesting storage: 1000 profiles is only 0.4 m³.
- ⏱️ Packing cycle time +15 %: no need for cutting foam and side tape.
- 🔄 Re-use 8-10×: in a closed loop of returnable pallets.
- 📉 Complaints -70 % (implementation data in RTV 2024).
⚙️ Cardboard corner production process
The BÖWE RollCorner line combines three KRAFT paper tapes with PVA-D3 glue, wraps the "V" profile, presses 4 t/m, dries at 80 °C and stabilizes for 12 h. Laser guillotine cuts exactly 1100 mm. Each batch undergoes an ECT, humidity and 3D corner scan ±0.4° test.
🏆 Advantages of cardboard corners in bulk packaging
- 🛡️ Protection 4 × 1100 mm – no "blind spots".
- 📦 Stable pallet in high-bay rack.
- 🏗️ Stacking 1 + 1 – the upper pallet does not crush the lower one.
- ⏱️ Faster packing – ~15 s per load.
- 💰 ROI < 1 cycle – cost return when avoiding one complaint.
- 🌱 Zero waste – full waste paper recycling.
♻️ Recycling and ecology
The corner piece goes to the PAP 20
fraction. Fibres and thermal energy from the glue are recovered in the paper mill. If the profile is not suitable for recycling (e.g. soaked with cement), it degrades in < 12 months. Or it can be burned in a energy recovery facility – it emits only CO₂ and H₂O.
⚖️ Solid cardboard vs PE foam – key differences
The table compares a rigid cardboard corner (structure) and a LDPE foam profile (damping):
Aspect |
Cardboard corner (solid cardboard) |
Foam profile (LDPE) |
Material and production |
Multi-layered KRAFT paper, glued in a "V" profile. Renewable raw material; optional PE coating. |
Foamed LDPE, continuous extrusion. Petrochemical raw material. |
Protective properties |
Rigid protection - disperses pressure; limited shock damping. |
Soft damping - absorbs vibrations; lack of structural load capacity. |
Weight and volume |
≈ 150 g/unit; wall 3 mm → minimal increase in package dimensions. |
≈ 5–10 g/unit; wall ≥ 10 mm → larger transport volume. |
Resistance to moisture / chemicals |
Hygroscopic; PE coating - full hydrophobicity and oil resistance. |
Hydrophobic, chemically neutral without additional coatings. |
Recycling and ecology |
Full biodegradation / waste paper; low carbon footprint. |
Recycling in LDPE #4 plants; no biodegradation. |
Typical applications |
High cartons, bags, furniture panels, POS-display. |
Delicate items, glass, electronics. |
Palletization / stacking |
Carries loads - allows stacking. |
Does not carry weight - only horizontal damping. |
