Examples of Protection for Furniture
Because furniture comes in all shapes and sizes (table, chairs, desks, upholstered pieces, etc.), each piece of furniture may require unique types of protection. A chair company may have an application for chair legs to sit down in foam or honeycomb blocks and then use a furniture bag or shrink poly to secure the chair onto a corrugated tray. Other manufacturers might have knock down furniture that needs protection before fitting into a corrugated box that is stacked on pallets and then secured with stretch wrap.
Athens supplies:
- poly shrink wrap in a wide variety of roll sizes and heat guns
- honeycomb and honeycomb blocks
- stretch wrap in hand or machine rolls, 25 – 120 gauge, 10” to 30” wide
- stretch wrappers
- furniture bags and sheeting
A company that ships tables may use foam edge protectors, hard or soft angle pads and corners, and air foam to protect the tables’ edges and surfaces.
Athens supplies:
- moisture-resistant air foam rolls with perforations for easy tear off. Rolls come in various widths and lengths, depending on your application.
- hard angle pads and corners made of sturdy chip board material or soft angle pads and corners made of a combination of corrugated sheets and foam.
- cohesive foam that wraps around odd-sized items and single-faced corrugated
- non-scratch, polystyrene edge protectors
