Edge protection for folders: Effective prevention against wear and tear
In daily use, the bottom edges of folders and binders are exposed to extreme mechanical stress. An edge protector (often also referred to as an edge protection profile) is the most efficient solution for preventing cardboard from fraying or cover materials from being scuffed. At moog & langenscheidt, you can obtain edge protection solutions that combine functionality with an enhanced aesthetic – ideal for high-quality organisers, ring binders and archiving systems.
Wide range of options: From standard sizes to custom profiles
Every product has different protection requirements. That is why we offer a wide range of designs:
- Standard profiles: Our tried-and-tested solution in the 255 x 28 mm format with a 3 mm profile and an elegant matt silver finish fits perfectly on standard A4 folders.
- Custom cuts: Thanks to our in-house production, we can produce exact lengths and specific profiles to your requirements.
- Special shapes: Choose between U-profiles, straight-cut variants or models angled on one or both sides for seamless edge protection.
Professional installation for long-lasting results
The installation of the metal edge protectors is reliable and gentle on the material. Whether done manually using a toggle press or automatically using a pneumatic press – the edge protection is firmly pressed onto the base material. This ensures an indestructible bond that does not slip, even under heavy use in archives or in the field, and significantly enhances the value of your product.
