PROPAFIX
Self-sizing Corner Protector
The innovative corner protector that adapts to all dimensions.
PROPAFIX is a patented self-sizing corner protector that revolutionizes cargo protection during transport and storage. Its main feature is extreme adaptability: thanks to shaped flaps with pre-cut guides, it allows you to choose the ideal length and diameter for each specific load, eliminating the need to maintain different sizes in stock.
This flexible protection system offers significant operational advantages, allowing protection of even irregular shapes like polygons and parallelepipeds. It is also suitable for three-dimensional protection - after cutting one flap, simply cut the opposite flap to obtain a fold perpendicular to the previous protection direction. PROPAFIX is made with fully recyclable materials, thus solving disposal problems for both user waste and the final recipient. To cut PROPAFIX to size, you just need a simple utility knife or scissors in your pocket.
Made with fully recyclable materials, PROPAFIX provides a practical and economical solution that reduces warehouse stock by up to 90% and simplifies packaging operations with a simple utility knife.
The PROPAFIX TX version transforms into a collar for protecting steel coil edges.
It can also be supplied with a practical dispenser to facilitate application.

An accelerometer is an instrument able to take and/or measure acceleration.
The Shockwatch labels, ShockDots and Shockwatch Clips are devices containing a small tube with red liquid in suspension. If the device is subjected to an impact exceeding a specific G level, the shock causes the red liquid to leak out, clearly visible, in the tube.
Gravity acceleration is the acceleration that a body undergoes when it is left free to move in a gravitational field.
A pallet is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader or other jacking device. A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and storage efficiencies.
