PROPAFIX: the smart edge protector for coils, bars, tubes, and sheets

In the handling and processing of metallic materials such as wire, tube, sheet metal, and coils, protection during transport and storage is essential to ensure product integrity and reduce costs related to damage and waste. Propagroup, a leading company in the industrial packaging sector, has developed PROPAFIX, a patented, self-sizing edge protector that offers an innovative and versatile solution.

Unprecedented adaptability

Unlike traditional corner protectors, PROPAFIX is designed to easily adapt to different shapes and sizes of packaging. Thanks to its pre-cut grooves, the operator can adjust the length and angle as needed using just a utility knife or scissors. This makes it ideal for protecting round or irregular shapes such as polygons, triangles, and parallelepipeds, providing effective three-dimensional protection.

Space optimization and sustainability

One of PROPAFIX’s key advantages is its ability to significantly reduce warehouse space requirements. As a self-sizing product, a single size covers a wide range of applications, eliminating the need to stock multiple corner protector formats. Moreover, PROPAFIX is made from fully recyclable materials, contributing to environmental sustainability, and simplifying disposal for both users and recipients.

Special versions for specific needs

To address particular requirements, Propagroup has developed two special versions of PROPAFIX:
• PROPAFIX with asymmetric flaps (60 and 100 mm) – offers flexible positioning options. For example, for sheet metal pallets under 100 mm in height, the wider flap can serve as vertical protection, fully covering the contents of the shipment.
• PROPAFIX TX – can be used as an internal or external collar, ideal for protecting the edges of steel coils, and other wound materials.

A competitive advantage

Companies in the wire, tube, sheet, and coil sectors can benefit in multiple ways from adopting PROPAFIX:
• Damage reduction – ensures effective protection during transport and storage
• Operational efficiency – simple to use, and highly adaptable
• Space optimization – reduces inventory complexity, and storage space
• Environmental sustainability – made from recyclable materials, and supports greener operations

PROPAFIX is an innovative and versatile solution for metalworking companies, combining protection, efficiency, and sustainability in a single product. For more information or to request a personalized quote, please contact the Propagroup team via the contact details on this page.
