Honeycomb
Paper - The Sustainable Packaging Alternative
Honeycomb is a strong packaging material
and a better alternative to corrugated cardboard. It is affordable compared to
wooden packaging and is considered strong enough to support high-strength
packaging items. These honeycomb
packaging papers also come with extraordinary shock resistance capability.
With honeycomb paper, you can reduce a significant amount of the freight cost
due to its light weightedness. These papers are manufactured from sanitary
materials and are considered to be 100% recyclable. They are engineered and
designed in such a way that fits your product’s needs in different sizes.
The amazing artistry of
Honeycomb packaging
Honeycomb papers for packaging are
manufactured using kraft liner boards that come with shock-resistant and
cushioning properties during transshipment. These packaging materials are less
expensive compared to wooden boxes and possess strength stronger than
cardboard. Honeycomb paper-based packaging products can be tailored according
to the client’s requirements.
Honeycomb packaging boxes are crafted by
joining different types of kraft papers forming a series of hexagonal cells. In
most common scenarios, these cells are created from similar materials to face
both sides for added strength. These honeycomb paper packaging items are
manufactured in different sizes and shapes to meet the consumer’s packaging
needs.
Different types of
Honeycomb packaging solutions
Benz Packaging offers different types of
Honeycomb packaging solutions. Have a look:
Reverse
Slit Score Honeycomb: This type of honeycomb
packaging is designed in such a manner that it creates a fan-folding effect in
the panel. This type of design creates a folding hinge within the panel.
Die-cut
Honeycomb: This variant is crafted in such a
pattern that the panels face holes in the middle with a focus on shape and
thickness. These panels are mostly used for inner packing purposes to surround
an item. Alternatively, they can also be used as a tray for bulk packing by
glued to the flap panel.
Flat
Panels: These panels are made from hexagonal
kraft paper cells. These hexagonal cells are finely sandwiched between highly
durable layers of paper. Based on the demands and requirements of the
packaging, the dimensions and thickness of the facing papers can be
customized.
Cookie-cut:
The cookie-cut Honeycomb packages are prepared by slitting both the facing
papers and keeping a portion of the core. It is done in such a manner that the
panel is held together perfectly by the core point in the centre that is uncut.
Minute inner pieces and runners are often stacked to make the handling part
easier.
PSA
(Pressure Sensitive Adhesives): These types of
honeycomb items are engineered carefully using high-tack adhesive applied to
one side of the panel and then covered with release paper. The end-user will
remove the paper so that the panel can be used as a supportive block for inner
packaging or in pallets.
Pallets:
These pallets are designed in such a manner that they can hold a significant
amount of weight. They are the perfect alternative to plastic or wooden plastics
and are 100% recyclable. They are mostly prepared using a combination of
corrugated and honeycomb paper. The dimensions and type of facing papers can be
tailored based on the strength constraints needed to support different
applications.
Final words
The honeycomb
paper packaging option can be ideal for e-commerce and parcel shipping,
retail and display packaging, heavy and large items, fragile products, automotive
parts, and furniture items. They are lightweight, affordable, and have great
shock-resistance properties.
