Expandable Protection for Vulnerable Corners
Corners and edges are often some of the most vulnerable parts of a product during handling and delivery. A knock to an exposed corner may leave a surprising amount of damage. Flexi-Hex Expand-100 has been designed to protect those corners, to reduce the risk of breakages.
To use the Expand-100, expand the honeycomb structure and wrap it around the corner of the product. This creates a cushioning layer across the edge and adjoining surfaces. One of the biggest advantages of the Flexi-Hex Expand-100 is its ability to work with a variety of different sizes. For example, a manufacturer may sell doors with different thicknesses, but the same corner protection bracket will work across the entire range.
Designed for Products Going Into Outer Boxes
The Expand-100 corner protectors are designed to wrap around the vulnerable corners before the item is then placed in a suitable outer box. This makes it a practical choice where the outer packaging already provides structural protection, but vulnerable corners need a little bit of extra care and attention.
This approach allows businesses to add targeted protection to the areas where damage is most likely to occur without wrapping the entire product in additional material.
Ideal for Picture Frame Corner Protectors
As well as worktops, flat-pack furniture and doors, the Expand-100 range also works to protect picture frames. These items may be particularly expensive and often have exposed corners that may break during handling and delivery. Expand-100 brackets can be placed around each corner to create additional cushioning.
Faster Packaging Without Complications
Flexi-Hex Expand-100 corner protectors are supplied flat and designed for fast assembly, allowing businesses to keep large quantities of corner protectors stored efficiently until required.
At the packing station, the bracket can be expanded and fitted around the corner without specialist machinery. This simple process is time efficient, which can be helpful for businesses dealing with high order volumes.
