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.

Angleboard Applications:

      Unitizing:
      Every time your product is handled, it's at risk of incurring damage. Angleboard, used in conjunction with strapping or stretch film, helps create a tight, secure shipping cube to contain your load and prevent damage from shifting during shipping and handling.

 
            Angleboard Benefits:

• More product can be packaged per pallet, reducing handling and shipping costs

• Load damage is minimized, improving customer satisfaction

• Load unitization reduces pilferage

      Stacking Strength:
      Angleboard vertically reinforces loads, enabling them to be stacked higher for maximum utilization of your warehouse space.

 
            Angleboard Benefits:

• Loads can be stacked higher, maximizing warehouse space
• Reduces product damage from crushing in stacking situations

      Strap Protection:
      Strapping, applied at maximum tension, improves load stability but subjects the load to possible crushing at its corners. Angleboard provides a buffer between the load and strapping to permit high tension without damage.

 
            Angleboard Benefits:

• Facilitates higher applied tension for superior load stability
• Reduces indentation caused by strapping

      Edge Protection:
      Packaging components must be tough enough to protect your products from damage caused by material handling equipment and the shipping environment. Angleboard is a sturdy package component that helps absorb impacts at all load corners, including the vertical corners which are more susceptible to damage during transport; the top edges that can be crushed by strapping and loads stacked on the top; and the bottom edges that can get banged up by fork truck tines.

            Angleboard Benefits:

• Reduces product damage incurred durring shipping, handling and storage
• Improves profits by reducing customer rejection rates

      Ordering Angleboard:

      Angleboard, referred to in terms of caliper, leg length and board length, is manufactured on a made-to-order basis. When ordering Angleboard edge protectors, you will need to specify:

• Leg length (A and B)
• Caliper (C)
• Board length (D)

     Recommended Methods

      The following are a few recommendations for Angleboard applications:

• Where Angleboard is used for vertical stacking strength, we recommend a 2.5" x 2.5" x .225 caliper Angleboard. This will be adequate for most packages and loads.

• Where lengths of Angleboard are used horizontally along the top edges of a package, we recommend a 2" x 3" or 2" x 4" Angleboard, with the 3" or 4" leg resting on the top of the package. Having the 3" or 4" leg resting on the top of the package lessens the chance that the Angleboard will fall off before it is secured with strapping or stretch-film.

• The above recommended applications are typical in the industry, however, we recommend discussing your applications with an ITW Angleboard distributor sales representative.
