SoftCorner

What the jury said

SoftCorner represents a significant improvement in transport logistics by preventing film covers in pallet packaging from tearing.

A cost-efficient solution for keeping film intact has been found by replacing the standard corner with one that yields under pressure in a controlled way.

Small incisions were made at the corners when constructing the transport box. These incisions make the corners flexible, meaning that they can yield under pressure and take on a more rounded shape. As a result, the film adapts gently to the SoftCorner rather than tearing. Pallets can therefore be wrapped in a protective film without needing to resort to more expensive and thicker films. This keeps the packaging resistant under real transport conditions, while reducing costs and the ecological footprint.
