Those blue foam protective edges anyone?

For a while now I have been making my own protective edges out of scraps of brown board ( see below ) by scoring a couple of lines and folding them around the edges of my football shirt frames.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME !!! AND MONEY !!

Can anyone recommend an online Supplier I can get those blue foam protective edges from at a competitive price please ?

Thanks in advance,

Lion do them - don't know how they compare on price to anyone else that does.

try a local packaging supplier as they might deliver for free which mine do... I get mine from MakkiPak - U45 profile so fits at least 45mm depth. they work out about a £110 box of 80 x2m lengths. cheaper the smaller you go and visa versa

Those foamy corners are great but they aren't cheap. I've heard tell of folks using pipe lagging to make their own. Cut a chunk off, slice lengthways and cut a V in it - not all the way though. Quick to do and you can make it to size. Pipe lagging isn't exactly cheap either.

Cheaper than repairing/replacing a damaged frame though.

Could you line your own invention with some bubble wrap or that foamy white stuff that sometimes comes in boxes of moulding?
