FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Paperboard Pads
What is a chipboard pad?
Chipboard pads are chipboard sheets that come in sizes up to 60″ x 80″ and calipers ranging from .010-.400pts.
Can I order chipboard pads that are custom-cut to my specifications?
Yes! We customize every order at Badger according to your size, caliper, and substrate needs. Contact us for a quote.
Can I order white or coated chipboard pads?
Yes. We offer plain chipboard as well as poly-coated, virgin kraft, solid bleached white, clay-coated, and specialty grades. Feel free to order a sample to get a feel for our substrate options.
What are chipboard pads used for in shipping and packaging?
Chipboard pads are used to add rigidity, separation, and protection within palletized or boxed shipments. They help distribute weight evenly, prevent product shifting, and protect items from compression damage during storage and transit.
They’re commonly used between layers, inside cartons, or as top caps to reinforce loads.
Can I use chipboard in place of plywood?
It depends on the end-use. Chipboard pads can be made as thick as .400 pts. If you aren’t sure, reach out, and we will help you find the best product for your application.
How are chipboard pads different from pallet sheets or slip sheets?
Chipboard pads are typically used inside cartons or between product layers for added rigidity. Pallet sheets are placed directly on top of pallets to create a smooth base layer, while slip sheets are used to replace pallets entirely when paired with push-pull equipment.
If you’re looking to reinforce internal packaging or improve stacking strength within boxes, pads are often the right solution.
Can chipboard pads help reduce product damage during shipping?
Yes. Pads add structural support that helps distribute pressure across a wider surface area. This reduces crushed corners, dented packaging, and shifting during transit.
They’re especially useful for stacked cases, fragile goods, and high-volume operations where load integrity matters.
Are your chipboard pads low-dust and suitable for food-related environments?
Our pads 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 supports facilities handling bagged product or operating in food and ag settings. If you have specific compliance standards, we can review your requirements and recommend the appropriate board grade.
Do you offer moisture-resistant chipboard pads?
Yes. Moisture-resistant coating options are available depending on your storage conditions and shipping environment. This added durability can help maintain pad strength in humid warehouses or during export shipments.
We’ll help determine the right thickness and construction based on your application.
How much do chipboard pads cost?
Chipboard pad prices vary based on size, thickness, board grade, moisture-resistant treatment, and order volume. Higher quantities and ongoing distributor programs may qualify for preferred pricing. We provide fast quotes, often within 24 hours, and support coast-to-coast distribution, including West Coast fast turnaround.
