FAQs

BadgerKrate FAQs

What is BadgerKrate?

BadgerKrate is a multi-panel, pre-hinged paperboard packaging solution that folds around long or difficult-to-package products. It ships flat to save space, then folds into shape in seconds when you’re ready to pack.

What products is BadgerKrate best for?

BadgerKrate is a strong fit for long products that are awkward to box or traditionally get crated, like antennas, extruded metal, trim pieces, tubes, long components, and other items that need edge and surface protection during shipping. It’s built to wrap around the product instead of forcing you into oversized cartons or heavy wood solutions.

Is BadgerKrate an alternative to fanfold corrugated or wood crating?

Yes. BadgerKrate is positioned as an alternative to fanfold corrugated crate-style packaging, and it can reduce the need for wooden crating in many long-product applications. Because it ships flat, it can also help cut down on “shipping air” and wasted storage space.

What sizes and configurations are available?

BadgerKrate can be custom cut for your project and is available in multiple panel designs (including up to 19-panel options), with choices like open-ended or end cap designs. Sizes can go up to 59.5 inches wide and 420 inches long, with thickness ranges from 0.060pt to 0.250pt.

Can BadgerKrate be reused, and is it low-dust/low-odor?

BadgerKrate is designed to be tough and reusable — it can be flattened and re-folded for repeat shipments. It’s also a paper-based solution, which helps teams that want packaging that stays cleaner and easier to handle than many wood-based options.

How much does BadgerKrate cost?

BadgerKrate pricing varies based on overall size, number of panels, thickness, end-cap vs. open-ended design, printing (if used), and order volume. Badger can quote it quickly once your dimensions and protection needs are defined.
