Definitions

• the present invention relates to improvements in and relating to packaging.
• improvements in and relating to protective edges and packaging systems making use of closed cell board including: shrouds, corner boards, u-boards, tube boards and sleeves.
• the present invention in one aspect is concerned with protective edges used to prevent damage to packaged freight on skids or pallets occurring whilst loading/unloading or during transport.
• paper corner boards are formed by a multi-step process which involves:
• corner boards manufactured by this process tend to splay outwardly when straps are tensioned to secure stacked packaging as a unit, causing the sides of the corner boards to move out of aligned contact with the sides of the packaging.
• a reverse slit score is made by cutting through one facing paper and through the core material, and then by cutting the opposite facing paper at another location to create a fan folding effect in the panel.
• a single slit score is produced by cutting through one facing paper and the entire core, leaving the other facing paper intact to create a folding hinge in the panel.
• this fan folding panel as a protective edge is not taught or contemplated by the aforementioned website.
• a further problem in the packaging industry is the need to create inexpensive and effective replacements or alternatives to polystyrene packaging.
• packaging solutions which can be used for protecting fragile items which need to be transported and/or stored.
• the present invention in one aspect provides a simplified and more effective manner of manufacture for producing protective edges, shrouds including u-shaped channels and sleeves, all made of closed cell board.
• the method of the present invention effectively shortcuts the current manufacturing process and reverses one step in a counterintuitive manner to create cheaper and more effective products such as edge protectors including corner boards and u-shaped channels.
• the reversed step of the present invention effectively involves folding a pre-slitted board inside out so that the slit forms an outside corner.
• the present invention utilises the reverse step of inside out folding so that the .slit is located on the outside corner of the corner board (not the protected inside corner such as occurs in a conventionally constructed corner board).
• the reversal of this one step surprisingly mitigates many of the other manufacturing steps employed to produce conventional paper corner boards.
• the present invention also relates to a new form of closed cell board which has first and second liner sheet(s) on either side of the core wherein the relative thickness and/or strength of the first and second line sheets are different.
• the first liner sheet may comprise a single sheet of paper board and the second liner sheet may be a laminate of two or more sheets of paper board.
• the present invention additionally relates to blanks for creating protective edges and shrouds.
• the present invention also relates to packaging systems capable of being used in place of polystyrene (EPS) packaging.
• EPS polystyrene

• the protective edge may be in the form of a corner board.
• a method of manufacturing a protective shroud from a sheet or strip of closed cell board which has first and second liner sheets on either side of a core comprises the step of: a) cutting at least two parallel lines through the first liner sheet and core of the closed cell board to form slits that are parallel to one common axis of the board but wherein said slits do not penetrate the second liner sheet.
