Abstract
A stackable edge protector for use in packaging. A multi-ply fibreboard construction having a right angle cross-section with sufficient length to extend along the edge of the product to be protected. Adhesive pads facing inwardly on the construction removably secure the edge protector to the product. Outwardly opening recesses located on the outer surface of the main body nestably receive the adhesive pads of an identical edge protector when stacked thereatop. The recesses are larger in size than the adhesive pads preventing stacked edge protectors from adhering together.
