Cleanliness, consistency, and reliability are non-negotiable when shipping critical medical equipment like IV bags and gloves. At Badger Paperboard, we specialize in customized packaging and shipping solutions, such as our solid fiber push-pull sheets, designed to help the medical industry transport goods safely and hygienically.

The Problem with Standard Packaging Suppliers
If you are a distributor for medical packaging, you have likely experienced one or more of these challenges:
- Long lead times that slow down operations
- One-size-fits-all products that do not fit your customers’ unique needs
- Inconsistent quality that puts shipments at risk
- Little to no support when you need it most
Many standard suppliers offer one-size-fits-all solutions that are not tailored for the needs of medical supply distribution. They often lack sizing flexibility and fail to meet sanitation requirements.
At Badger, we pride ourselves on being a true partner and offer on-site visits where we visit your facility and investigate the packaging issues ourselves. We collaborate closely with you to create customized paperboard packaging solutions that meet your exact needs while maintaining compliance with regulated environments.
Our push-pull sheets are a prime example of customizable solutions. They can be tailored to perfectly fit your unique product sizes, ensuring safe movement throughout your shipping process. Whether you need a different thickness or sheet size, our team will find the ideal customized approach for your product.

Packaging Built for the Medical Industry
Our paperboard packaging products are designed to meet specific challenges your medical customers may face, including:
Heat Damage During Sanitation
Our solid fiber push-pull sheets are built with both durability and reliability at the forefront. Many medical equipment suppliers use heat chambers as part of their sanitation processes, but lower-quality products often fail because the glue breaks down under heat. Badger’s push-pull sheets are engineered to withstand these high-heat environments without losing strength or integrity.
Product Damage During Transport
Protecting your customer’s product during transport is just as critical as keeping it clean during production. Badger’s Kornerboard is designed to provide critical edge protection and load stability. Kornerboard helps keep stacked products aligned, secure, and resistant to shifting during transit.
Contamination and Pallet Security
To complete the packaging process, suppliers rely on stretch film to seal their pallets tightly and protect products from contamination. Our materials are designed to work seamlessly with stretch film, ensuring pallets remain clean and secure until they reach their final destination.
