Furniture manufacturing
Grand Rapids leads the world in commercial furniture production.
Strapping protectors ensure:

This combination of climate, industry and transport requires strapping protectors engineered for strength, resilience and precision.
Grand Rapids Case Study
A major office furniture manufacturer in Grand Rapids experienced strap cut-through on packaged furniture panels and assembled units, leading to edge dents and customer returns. Standard protectors buckled under cold warehouse conditions and heavy stacking.
After switching to CPP’s laminated heavy-duty paperboard strapping protectors, the company saw a 44% reduction in corner damage and improved pallet uniformity.
Plastic protectors were adopted for steel components and machinery shipments, reducing strap-related damage by more than 36%.
