Cork pad spacers on roll with HiTack

Natural cork pads are used to keep glass panels safe while they’re being handled, stored or transported. They act as soft cushions between each sheet of glass, so the surfaces don’t rub against one another or end up scratched, chipped or cracked.

By creating a small gap between the panes, these spacers stop direct contact and help absorb knocks and vibrations during transit. This means the glass is far less likely to get damaged on the way.

Cork is widely used with glass because it gives effective protection. It’s naturally soft, slightly flexible and non-abrasive, so it cushions the glass instead of scratching or marking it.

Main advantages of cork for glass are:

• Gentle contact – it doesn’t scratch glass.
• Good shock absorption – it helps soak up knocks, bumps and vibrations in transit.
• Secure spacing – it keeps a consistent gap between panes, reducing pressure points.
• Lightweight and easy to use – it adds minimal weight and is simple to place or remove.
• Naturally sustainable – cork is a renewable, eco-friendly material, which supports greener packaging choices.

Yes, High-tack cork spacers leave visible glue traces behind, as they’re made with a stronger adhesive to hold firmly in place. For that reason, they’re applied on top of a protective film, so the pane itself stays clean and mark-free.
