An edge protector (1) for protecting the edge of an article includes a pair of interconnected, non-parallel, first arms (2, 4) which, in use, do not contact any part of the article, and a pair of second arms (10, 12) for contacting or a least being situated adjacent the article in use, one of each of the second arms (10, 12) being connected to one of each of the first arms (2, 4) each first arm (2, 4) and the respective second arm (10, 12) may be arranged in non-parallel relations. Further, the edge protector (1) may be resiliently deformable to absorb the energy of an impact therewith.
