Paper Packaging Machinery For Glassware And Ceramics
Glass and glazed ceramics fail in two ways: impact through the carton wall, and abrasion between pieces. Paper cushioning has to do both jobs without leaving a mark on a polished or printed surface, which is why sleeving, honeycomb wrap and crinkle filler are usually specified together.
What Goes Wrong Today
- Pieces abrade against each other when the carton moves in transit
- Tight plastic wrap marks glaze and printed labels
- Breakage claims are expensive and reach the customer before you hear about them
- Foam and plastic chip fill is rejected by premium retail buyers
What The Packing Line Actually Needs
- Sleeves that slide over a bottle or vase without being forced
- Interleaving that stops piece to piece contact
- Void fill that keeps the item off the carton wall
- Material that presents well when the box is opened

Glassware And Ceramics Questions
What length of sleeve can be made?
200 mm to 900 mm. 220 mm, 350 mm and 450 mm are the most commonly ordered lengths.
Will honeycomb paper scratch a glazed surface?
The material is described as soft and flexible and provides cushion protection without surface scratch, which is the reason it is used on ceramics and glassware.
Can one machine make both filler and wrap?
No. The shredder makes loose crinkle filler and the honeycomb machines make wrap. Packers who need both usually buy both.
Guides Cases And Applications
Honeycomb paper is a lightweight, strong kraft packaging material formed with hexagonal cells. It is used for inner and outer packaging, as a shock absorbent, as a shield and even as pallets.
