Corner protectors for Coroplast?

[Jumpshoutmedia]

I have a customer that's requesting corner protectors for the Coroplast signs I make for him. I can't find any at any of the vendors I buy from, does anyone know a source for these? I'm thinking of a small triangle plastic or metal corner that I could maybe squirt a little glue into and push onto the corners.

Anyone?

Thanks guys!

buy 3/16 U-Channel extrusions, and a corner notcher. Set them in with some Clear Liquid Nails or GOOP.

Tell him to pony up the $ for a better substrate

I typically do this simply by folding some cardboard around the corners of the CoroPlast and taping into position.

He wants a "showable" solution, not just for shipping.

Use PVC instead, the money and time wasted will make up the small difference, and they will look 1000% better. Coro is like $10 and PVC is $28 for 4x8, not that much diff in the scheme of things.

Why? It's coroplast, one step above garbage.

Come on Bob, (I do agree) some people do not know the value of good sign.

I just round the corners, I have had no complaints

The only thing we have done similar is shown in these pics. These were used in the corners of a couple small signs (I don't remember if it was coroplast though) because of a design need, to match some existing signs at an aquarium.

We drilled a hole on the corners of the signs and mated two halves of these pieces (made exactly the same) together. My guy says we used a little pvc glue to secure them.

try proedge systems. I use the frame material for corners if the customer does not want to frame the whole board. variety of finishes and sizes.

Come on now gang, putting corner protectors on Coroplast is like polishing a turd or putting lipstick on a pig.
Some answers are not worth searching for, especially when the guy says he has no money!

Pat's link is helpful, but I think Checkers is spot-on about Coro.

I also think of coro as temporary signage, however, you could try gluing a metal corner bracket ( the flat 90 degree thing with holes in it, from any hardware store).
