Our new corrugated board wedge is designed to help store and transport paper rolls safely - and will mean the conservation of resources as well as costs.

It was designed to replace existing wood and plastic wedges, which caused dirt and wood splinters in sensitive production areas. Handling of these existing wedges was impractical and dangerous, as they had tobe screwed onto the pallet by hand using a cordless screwdriver.

Our wedge is lighter, cleaner and offers convenient and fast handling with comparable safety performance. In addition, it is reusable and 100% recyclable.

Designed as a double wedge, an elevation on both sides prevents the goods from rolling away. An integrated tear thread releases the fixed roll and provides a user-friendly opening, eliminating the need for further tools.
The wedge is space-saving and can be used for a wide variety of rolls and diameters to a broad range of customers.
