Honeycomb Paper Sleeve
Honeycomb paper sleeve is a continuous roll of corrugated paper formed into a honeycomb structure that provides shock absorption and cushioning when wrapped around fragile items. The structure is 100% biodegradable and recyclable, making it a sustainable alternative to plastic void fill. It is used to protect bottles, jars, and other cylindrical or irregularly shaped items during transport and storage.
- 100% biodegradable and recyclable material reduces environmental impact and supports sustainability targets
- Saves warehousing space because the sleeve rolls flat until used
- Reduces shipping costs by lowering packed weight compared to plastic cushioning
- Provides excellent surface protection and presentation for retail-ready packaging

Incoming kraft paper checked for consistency and absence of recycled content
Seam strength tested during the forming process to ensure no separation under load
Sample sleeves inflated or compressed to verify shock absorption performance
Roll length and width verified at winding stage
Cartons inspected at container loading against the packing list

How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| Bubble wrap | Honeycomb paper is 100% biodegradable and recyclable, while bubble wrap is plastic and not easily compostable |
|---|---|
| Plastic air pillows | Paper sleeves generate no plastic waste and are suitable for markets with plastic bans |
| Foam inserts | Paper sleeves are lighter per unit and reduce dimensional freight charges |
| Moulded plastic packaging | No tooling or inventory required; sleeves are made on demand from flat rolls |
How to Use It
