An edge or corner protector comprises side surface portions which are adapted to be spaced from the external side surface portions of an article or appliance which define an external corner or edge region of the article or appliance to be protected, and an interior corner or apex region which is likewise adapted to be spaced from the external corner or edge region of the article or appliance. In this manner, not only does the corner or edge protector serve to protect the external corner or edge region of the article or appliance, but in addition, the spacing of the side surface portions of the new and improved edge or corner protector from the external side surface portions of the article or appliance, as well as the spacing of the interior corner or apex region of the corner or edge protector from the external corner or edge region of the article or appliance will effectively serve as a shock absorber so as to prevent external impact forces, impressed upon the carton or shipping container, from being transmitted internally onto the external side surface portions of the article or appliance, or onto the corner or edge region of the article or appliance.
