Protective Cardboard Sheets for Metals, Coils, Cans & Bottles
When it comes to transporting metal sheets, coils, cans, and glass bottles, even the smallest amount of surface damage can result in wasted stock, rejected deliveries, or expensive rework. Manufacturers and stockholders need packaging solutions that protect high-value materials during storage and transit — without adding unnecessary weight or cost.
Our industrial cardboard layer sheets are designed to provide exactly that protection. Cut to size, available with straight or radius corners, and fully recyclable, they prevent scratches, scuffs, and punctures while stabilising loads.
Layer Sheets for Metal Stockholders
We supply protective cardboard sheets used by metal stockholders to separate and protect materials during handling.
- Prevents scratches on polished or finished metals
- Reduces surface damage during stacking and transport
- Cut to order for sheets, coils, or rolls
By placing these cardboard interleaving sheets between layers, stockholders protect both material quality and customer relationships.
Protective Packaging for Coils & Rolls
Our bespoke packaging solutions also include cardboard inserts and sheets designed for heavy coils and rolls.
- Prevents edges from scuffing in transit
- Protects fragile or valuable rolled products
- Provides extra stability for palletised loads
These solutions are widely used across industries handling metals, papers, and other high-value rolled goods.
Sheets for Glass & Tin Manufacturers
Glass bottles, tin cans, and similar products are particularly vulnerable to transit damage. Our cardboard sheets with radius corners are designed to:
- Separate and protect fragile products
- Prevent punctures in stretch wrap during palletisation
- Ensure safe, efficient movement through manufacturing and distribution
These sheets are also supplied to canning plants, where they deliver the same protective benefits.
Benefits of Cardboard for Metals & Glass
- Prevents scuffs and scratches – keeps surfaces pristine
- Protects against punctures – radius corners stop wrap damage
- Custom sizes and finishes – tailored to specific products
- Eco-friendly – recyclable and sustainably sourced
By choosing industrial cardboard packaging, metals and glass manufacturers can protect products while staying aligned with sustainability goals.
