High-Performance Edge Boards & Protective Packaging for Indian Palletised Goods

What compressive strength of edge board should I specify?

A: For light FMCG cartons (up to 15 kg), ECT 150-400 N/25mm is sufficient; for heavy goods or multi-pallet stacking, ECT 800-2,500 N/25mm paper angle boards are recommended.

Are paper edge boards recyclable and EPR compliant?

A: Yes — kraft paper angle boards made from 100% recycled paper are fully recyclable and are categorised as paper packaging under the Extended Producer Responsibility framework, simplifying EPR compliance.

What is the standard angle board size for FMCG pallet strapping?

A: L50×50mm or L60×60mm profile with 3-4mm wall thickness and 800-1,200mm length are the most common sizes for FMCG pallet strapping — custom sizes are available from Trade4Asia suppliers.

Can honeycomb dunnage replace EPS foam for cushioning?

A: Yes — honeycomb dunnage provides equivalent cushioning for most static compression applications and is 100% recyclable; for high-fragility goods requiring vibration absorption, PE foam may still be specified alongside honeycomb.

Are moisture-resistant edge boards available for cold chain use?

A: Yes — PE-coated and wax-treated kraft paper angle boards are available for cold chain and humid environment pallet protection; coated grades maintain 60-70% of their compressive strength after moisture exposure.
