TUFF ANGLE EDGE PROTECTORS PATENT 


Understand the Characteristics of Tuff Angle Edge Protector

The patented construction of Tuff Angle edge protectors give them a combination of characteristics that traditional edge protectors simply cannot match. Tuff Angle edge protectors are made from corrugated sheets that are scored, glued, folded, and held in a ninety degree shape until dry. They are nested for shipment and arrive at the customer preformed and ready to use. The scoring and folding is like a trifold wallet. All three layers, once glued, are bent one more time into a ninety-degree angle. This patented folding design gives tremendous strength to the corner of the protector, one of the most critical areas for product damage. This is a significantly different process than is used to make traditional corner boards. Most edge protectors are formed simply by layering flat or fluted paper until a desired thickness is created, and then plunging the layers into a V shape.


The patented triple layer/triple fold process used to construct Tuff Angle edge protectors make them more impact resistant than other options. Their reinforced corners, cushioning, and stacking strength unite to make them more versatile than other edge protectors. Naturally strong, corrugation direction and paper grades can be engineered for multiple stacking of heavy loads in the truck, or in the warehouse. Tuff angle edge protectors are environmentally friendly and engineerable for task unheard of by other corner boards.

OUR PRODUCT

Why our Tuff Angle Edge Protectors are the Best

Impact Resistant

Tuff Angle edge protectors provide unparalleled impact resistance. Traditional hard angle boards and fluted edge protectors offer some protection, but neither are as tough, sturdy, impact-resistant, or strong in the corners as Tuff Angle.


Tuff Angle has been proven in a wide variety of tests to be the most impact-resistant edge protector on the market. A major manufacturer of lockers, file cabinets, and furniture conducted his own in-house test for corner boards. He used a piece of rebar to hit the Tuff Angle edge protectors and found them to be the most impact-resistant he had ever seen. An independent lab conducted tests and arrived at the same conclusion.

Reinforced Corners

Tuff Angle’s reinforced corners provide superior edge protection, especially when compared to traditional corner boards. While other corner boards are layered, Tuff Angle's edges are folded. The folds add thickness and create reinforced edges; they also increase Tuff Angle’s strength.


A single sheet is scored, folded, and refolded to stack three high on each other. The three layers are folded again, interlocking the legs and forming a ninety-degree angle. These folds provide superior corner strength, impact resistance, and protection. The folding and layering produce the strongest corner protection on the market.


Our reinforced corners provide superior protection and damage prevention. Whether you are shipping refrigerators, TVs, or furniture, Tuff Angle delivers the protection you can trust.

Stacking Strength

Space is a substantial limiting factor when it comes to both shipping and storage. Being able to stack items on top of each other increases the number of items that can be shipped or stored. Tuff Angle’s patented folding system generates a natural strength that is far greater than traditional layered fluted corner board products.


The folding, corrugated cardboard, and the glue used to make the Tuff Angle edge protectors combine to create superior stacking strength and capacity. Though its design is inherently strong, customers can specify the direction of the corrugation (to vertically align the flutes), and we can use even stronger paper to meet heavier stacking requirements.
