Honeycomb Packaging

Honeycomb offers high levels of cushioning, stacking strength and shock absorbency. It is created with a kraft honeycomb shaped cell structure between two kraft liners, providing lightweight, robust protection. The kraft liners are comparable to those used for corrugated cardboard sheets or cartons, but the cell structure between them provides greater strength than standard corrugated cardboard fluting.

Honeycomb is a strong and reusable product, made from 100% recyclable material. It is available in sheets in a wide variety of thicknesses and cell dimensions. The smaller the cells, the stronger the stacking strength. It is easily hand cut with a utility knife or maybe custom engineered to suit customers’ specific applications.

Honeycomb is a cost-effective solution in the packaging world. It is commonly used for customized block and brace applications including protecting product corners of signage displays, furniture, and large machines such as kitchen appliances, or for layering between product on pallets. Blocks of honeycomb may also be used to create a lightweight pallet. Honeycomb is an environmentally friendly replacement to custom foam fitments in boxes and is a commonly selected alternative for polystyrene. 

Cookie-cut Honeycomb is made by creating a slit in both facing papers and a portion of the core, leaving the panel held together by the uncut center core. Runners and small inner pieces can be stacked for ease of packaging and handling, allowing them to be separated easily by gently pulling each piece apart as needed, streamlining the pack-out process.

Die-cut Honeycomb is made by producing panels with holes that are cut through the material in the desired shape or thickness. Die-cut panels can be either glued to a flap panel to create a tray for bulk packing or used to surround an item for inner packing.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Honeycomb is manufactured with a high-tack adhesive that is applied to one side of a honeycomb panel and covered with a release paper. The paper is removed by the end-user so that the panel can be used as block support in pallets or inner packaging.

Honeycomb Flat Panels are made with hexagonal cells sandwiched between durable paper layers. Facing papers and dimensions can be customized for strength constraints and various applications.

Honeycomb Pallets can hold a significant amount of weight and are a 100% recyclable alternative to typically expensive wood or plastic pallets. Our pallets are custom designed and manufactured using corrugated, honeycomb or a combination of both depending on the size and strength needed.
