What is Honeycomb Packing Paper?

Honeycomb packing paper is a biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bubble wrap for wrapping delicate products, comprised of die-cut kraft paper that expands in a honeycomb structure. Its one-of-a-kind 3D hexagonal design stretches to interlock into a cushioning support system that protects fragile items glassware, ceramics, artwork, just to name a few, during shipping and moving.

It provides an alternative to plastic with a paper-based protective packaging option that complies with sustainably driven consumer requirements. It serves as a perfect cushioning wrap and lightweight material for various packaging needs. In other words, honeycomb packing paper will provide you with protection similar to foam or bubble wrap , but in an earth-friendly, recyclable material like a honeycomb design.

How to use Honeycomb Packaging Paper?

By using the honeycomb packing paper properly, you can protect your product better, create less waste and present your product in a professional way. It serves as a wrap, filler and a stylish presentation product to include the package as packaging. The flexibility of the material offers a broad range of uses for various packaging.

Wrapping Fragile Items

Simply tear off a cut of the honeycomb wrap, pull it over and out to let the hexagonal matrix pop open around your product. Glassware, ceramics or artwork snugly so the honeycomb cells protect them. Secure with strip of biodegradable tape. The inner mesh helps protect against shocks and reduce damage.

The other method (delicate/high-value items). This is the approach to use when shipping items that are delicate or of greater value.

Void Fill and Cushioning Layers

Lay down some layers of the honeycomb packaging paper on the bottom of your box. Nest the product and add another layer on top. This is how it works:It uses the honeycomb wrap to fill available space to stanch movement in transit.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
