FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Paperboard Guards
Do you offer custom sizes and thicknesses?
We sure do. At Badger, you’ll find corner guards that range from 2″-180″ long and calipers up to .400pt.
What are corner guards made of?
Our products are made of chipboard, a sustainable, paper-based substrate that’s usually cheaper and less expensive to ship and store than plastic alternatives.
Should I use cardboard or chipboard edge protectors for shipping?
Since our edge protectors are crafted from chipboard, they provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution compared to traditional U-channel corrugated cardboard. They are easier to ship and store, and our edge protectors have a clean design that eliminates pockets where dirt and pests can accumulate.
Is chipboard more expensive than cardboard edge protectors for shipping?
Chipboard is typically much lighter than regular corrugated cardboard. That means it takes up less space and is less expensive not only to purchase but also to ship.
Can I get corner guards with my logo printed on them?
Yes, that’s what our BadgerKorner product is all about! They can be printed with your company’s two-color logo to keep your brand front and center during transit.
How much do custom corner guards in bulk cost?
Our minimum order quantity is $300. As a corner board manufacturer, everything we do is custom, so contact us today to get a more exact quote for your needs.
What are paperboard edge and corner guards used for?
Paperboard edge and corner guards are used to protect product edges during storage and shipping. They reinforce load corners, reduce crushing damage, and improve overall pallet stability.
They’re commonly used in industries shipping stacked cases, bagged product, building materials, and bundled goods, where edge compression can lead to costly damage.
What’s the difference between chipboard corner guards and corrugated edge protectors?
Our Kornerboard guards are made from solid chipboard, not corrugated. Chipboard construction provides a clean, dense structure without flutes that can trap dirt, dust, or pests.
Compared to U-channel corrugated protectors, chipboard guards are typically less expensive to ship and store, offer a cleaner design, and provide consistent edge protection.
Can edge guards help stabilize palletized loads?
Yes. Edge and corner guards help distribute strap tension evenly and reinforce vertical stacking strength. That added support can reduce shifting, prevent crushed corners, and improve overall load integrity during transit.
In high-volume operations, that stability can reduce damaged shipments and rejected loads.
Are your Kornerboard guards low-dust and suitable for food-related environments?
Our guards are manufactured from recyclable, paper-based materials and are suitable for use in environments requiring indirect product protection.
They are produced to be low-dust and low-odor, which is important in facilities handling bagged product or operating in food and agricultural settings. If you have specific compliance requirements, we can review your application and recommend the appropriate board grade.
How much do Kornerboard edge guards cost?
Edge guard prices vary based on length, leg dimensions, thickness, board grade, and order volume. Our customers count on us for competitive, straightforward pricing, fast turnaround on quotes, often within 24 hours, and support from coast to coast.
