When you think about product and facility protection, corner guards may not be the first thing that comes to mind—but they should be. Whether you’re shipping sensitive equipment or safeguarding your building from everyday wear and tear, plastic corner guards are a simple, cost-effective solution that can save your business time, money, and headaches.
At Petro Packaging Co. Inc, we specialize in custom plastic extrusion solutions, including high-performance corner guards designed to meet the demands of industries like logistics, construction, manufacturing, and more.
What Are Plastic Corner Guards?
Plastic corner guards are protective extruded components designed to shield edges, corners, and high-impact zones from damage. Made from rugged materials like PETG, Butyrate, Propionate, Polypropylene, and PVC, they absorb shocks, reduce compression, and prevent scuffs, cracks, and costly repairs—whether you’re protecting packaged goods or physical infrastructure.
Where Are Plastic Corner Guards Used?
- Manufacturing & Logistics – Protect products during packaging, palletizing, shipping, and storage. Corner guards also help evenly distribute strapping pressure and prevent shifting during transit.
- Construction & Materials Handling – Safeguard building materials like glass, countertops, and panels during delivery and installation.
- Facility Management – Use corner guards to protect walls, posts, and other structures in hospitals, warehouses, hotels, and more—reducing maintenance and extending facility life.
- Electronics & Appliances – Keep delicate electronics protected from shock and vibration. We also offer ESD-safe options for static-sensitive environments.
Types of Plastic Corner Guards We Offer
For Shipping & Product Protection
- L-Profile Guards – Protect two sides of a product or box during transit. Ideal for palletized goods and stacked packaging.
- Edge Protectors – Run along flat edges to reinforce boxes, pallets, or flat materials like panels and glass.
- Custom-Extruded Guards – Built to fit your product’s unique geometry for maximum protection and performance.
For Facility & Infrastructure Protection
- Wall Corner Guards – Prevent damage to building corners from carts, forklifts, or foot traffic in high-traffic areas.
- Furniture & Fixture Protectors – Keep the edges of shelving, fixtures, and displays safe from wear and impact.
- Column & Beam Guards – Wrap around vertical structures to reduce collision damage in warehouses or manufacturing environments.
Why Use Plastic Corner Guards?
- Cut Costs by Preventing Damage – Small investment, big return. Corner guards reduce breakage, minimize product returns, and cut down on costly repairs—keeping your products and property intact from the start.
- Built to Last – Our plastic corner guards are extruded from high-performance resins that offer impact resistance, temperature stability, and long-lasting durability—even in cold storage, high-traffic, or outdoor environments.
- Lightweight = Lower Shipping Costs – Why pay to ship weight you don’t need? Our corner guards are light but tough, offering serious protection without adding significant mass or volume to your packaging.
- Sustainable Options Available – We offer recyclable and reusable corner guards, including options made from recycled plastics or bio-based materials. Reduce waste and support your sustainability goals while protecting your bottom line.
Customization That Works for You
We understand that no two applications are alike. That’s why we offer full customization options for our plastic corner guards:
- Material Options – Choose from PETG, CAB, CAP, PVC, or blends based on impact, flexibility, chemical exposure, or regulatory requirements.
- Sizes & Angles – Available in standard 90° or custom angles, with thicknesses and lengths tailored to your products.
- Color Choices – Add visibility with bright safety colors or align with your brand through custom-matched shades.
- Additives – Flame retardant, UV resistant, anti-static, or antimicrobial options available to meet your specific needs.
- Regulatory compliance: Are there industry or packaging regulations to meet?
- Reusability: Do you need guards that can be returned and reused?
