Abstract: Articles being transported are susceptible to damage upon impact. In order to prevent damage to articles during handling or transport, edge protectors are provided that are preferably made from molded pulp fiber and are formed into a base of protrusions. The protrusions on the base are arranged, e.g., in a grid pattern to help prevent stacked flat articles from slipping between rows of protrusions. The edge protector may have a foldable flap containing protrusions that add protection of the edges of the articles, as well as rib protrusions. The edge protector alternatively may include an elongated edge rigidly attached to the base, which includes protrusions or chair-shaped protrusions to add protection of the edges of the articles, as well as rib protrusion. The edge protectors described may be used inside a container (e.g., a corrugated box), and articles may be transported while protected by the edge protectors.
