protective bracket
Explanation:
I think that is what they mean, even if the original term does not say it. Such brackets are used to protect the corners of boxes against damage during transport and moving.

agree  Susan Starling: Yes, if that's what they mean then I would use something like this. I think you can also say "corner angle bracket," but I don't know if that's used in connection with boxes.
