Corner Board for Pallets

VBoard

VBoard is a high-strength, V-shaped corner board used to reinforce pallet edges and maintain load integrity during transit. Offering invaluable product protection, VBoard is extremely versatile and widely used. VBoard’s ridged right-angle shape is laminated from paperboard, making it the top choice across the industry for standard pallet edge and corner protection. 

VBoard is available in the following dimensions: wing measurements (1″–3.5″), thickness/caliper options (0.080″–0.400″), and lengths from 2″ strap protectors to 100″+. Standard and custom printing available. 

FlexBoard

FlexBoard is a flexible form of corner board used to protect curved, round products as well as coiled and spooled materials. The evenly spaced notches (every 3”) enable Flexboard to conform to the edges of almost any irregularly shaped product. Common applications are rolls of paper or rolled steel that will be packed as pallet loads and shipped to converters. 

FlexBoard is available in lengths from 72” to 288”. Custom printing available.

UChannel

UChannels are pre-formed protective pads that offer great edge protection when packaging flat pieces, such as mirrors, headboards, tabletops, and glass doors. It slides over the straight edges of the flat surface of the product and prevents it from chipping and cracking. 

UChannel corner boards are manufactured using laminated paperboard up to 18” wide. They are designed in various widths and leg length options that allow for specialized applications. Custom printing available. 

UCrate Reusable Corner Board

The UCrate distinctive construction is lighter than wood and easier to load, without compromising impact resistance. This edge protector has shown high flexibility and shock absorption capabilities.

How Do Corner Boards Protect Against Product Damage During Shipping and Storage?

Corner boards from Millennium Packaging are key for pallet protection. Our products help protect from the realities of shipping, where pallets are stacked, shifted, and exposed to rough handling in transit. By reinforcing edges and corners, corner boards distribute weight evenly for safer stacking and reduce the risk of damage. They provide protection along the top, bottom, and vertical edges of a load, while solutions like V-board work with stretch film to keep pallets tightly unitized. In storage, improved stackability helps save space. 

Overall, proper edge protection minimizes damage and reduces costly returns or replacements.
