Price Ranges by Material

Fiberboard Corner Guards (Most Common)

  • Economy: $0.30–$0.50 each
  • Heavy-duty: $0.60–$1.00 each
  • Coated / printed: $0.80–$1.25 each

🧠 Pro Tip: Fiberboard prices drop fast with volume — full pallets or truckloads = best per-piece rate.


Plastic Corner Guards

  • $1.00–$2.00 each
  • Reusable for dozens of cycles
  • Great for wet, outdoor, or closed-loop systems

They cost more upfront, but long-term ROI can be 5–10x vs. disposable packaging.


Foam Corner Guards

  • $0.50–$1.50 each
  • Designed for furniture, appliances, or painted surfaces
  • Often sold in kits or bundles

Not meant for banding or wrap tension — but perfect for high-end goods.


Metal Corner Protectors

  • $3.00–$10.00+ each
  • Custom sizes for export, machinery, or high-value loads

Rare — but when you need ‘em, you need ‘em.


Other Factors That Affect Price

1. Length

Common sizes range from 12″ to 96″+.
The longer the board, the higher the price.

2. Leg Width

Standard is 2″ x 2″.
Wider legs (3″, 4″, etc.) add strength and cost.

3. Thickness

  • Light-duty: .080″
  • Standard: .120″
  • Heavy-duty: .160″ to .250″

Thicker = stronger = more expensive.

4. Coatings / Add-Ons

  • Water-resistant gloss
  • Color printing or branding
  • Notched or pre-scored ends

Each adds a few cents per piece.


Volume = Discounts

Typical bundle sizes: 50–100 pcs
Typical pallet sizes: 1,500–2,000 pcs
