Why Hexacomb / Honeycomb Packaging Matters

Retailers and manufacturers are under pressure to ship safely and sustainably. Hexacomb honeycomb packaging meets both goals by replacing traditional corrugated cardboard with an engineered, paper-based “hive” that is:

  • Eco-friendly – made from renewable kraft paper and water-based adhesives.

  • Durable, high-strength – resists crushing under heavy loads.

  • Stronger than corrugated cardboard – the vertical cell walls act like miniature I-beams.

  • Highly sustainable – produced from responsibly sourced fiber.

  • 100 % recyclable – enters the normal paper waste stream worldwide.

What Is Hexacomb Honeycomb?

Hexacomb is a continuous sheet of kraft paper expanded into a hexagonal grid and sandwiched between outer liners. The resulting structure mimics a beehive, giving exceptional compression strength with very little material.

Key Performance Benefits

  1. Superior Cushioning
    The trapped air pockets absorb shocks, protecting fragile goods during drops and vibration.

  2. Lightweight Efficiency
    Up to 40 % lighter than double-wall corrugated, lowering parcel weight and freight spend.

  3. High Edge Crush Resistance
    Vertical cells prevent panel bowing, so loads stack safely in warehouses or pallets.

  4. Moisture & Temperature Stability
    Optional coatings add water resistance without compromising recyclability.

Eco Credentials That Boost Your Brand

Shoppers search for “green packaging” and “sustainable shipping.” Switching to honeycomb packaging helps you:

  • Cut CO₂ emissions by reducing both material input and transport fuel.

  • Eliminate plastic foams such as EPS or bubble wrap.

  • Earn certifications like FSC®, PEFC™ or SFI® for responsible sourcing.

  • Communicate circularity—each sheet can be recycled back into new paper products.

Highlight these points on your website and product pages to improve dwell time and conversion rates.
