Product Overview
PP honeycomb board, also known as PP bubble guard board, is a three-layer panel made 100% from eco-friendly polypropylene, with a unique circular honeycomb structure core at the centre and two flat surfaces on either side.
The circular bubble core gives homogeneous rigidity across the panel, while the large bubbles keep the panel light and flat. Compared with a standard twin-wall sheet it is stiffer for its weight, which is why it is chosen where flatness and rigidity matter more than the lowest possible price.
Key Benefits
High Bubble Density for Homogeneous Rigidity
The circular honeycomb core spreads stiffness evenly across the panel rather than only along the flute direction.
Large Bubbles for Lightness and Flatness
The core keeps weight down while holding the two skins flat.
High Stiffness and Rigidity
Panel stiffness is high for the panel weight.
Chemical and Water Resistant
Polypropylene construction resists water and chemical attack.
100% Polypropylene
A single-material panel, which keeps it recyclable.
Applications and Fit
Application Scenarios
- Rigid returnable packaging panels and box walls
- Partitions and dunnage where flatness matters
- Protection panels and separators
- Display and construction panels
Who It Is For
- Returnable packaging engineers needing a stiffer panel
- Automotive and appliance packaging designers
- Display and construction panel fabricators
Problems It Solves
- Twin-wall sheet is stiff along the flutes but weaker across them.
- Heavier solid panels defeat the purpose of a light returnable pack.
- Panels that bow out of flat cause stacking problems in a pallet loop.

Technical Features and Materials
100% eco-friendly polypropylene, formed as two flat skins over a circular honeycomb core.
Manufacturing Process
- Raw Material High impact co-polymer polypropylene resin, with anti-static, conductive, UV or flame retardant masterbatch added at the extruder when a modified grade is ordered.
- Extrusion The sheet is extruded on one of six production lines to the ordered thickness and weight per square metre. Printing grade stock is corona treated on both surfaces during extrusion.
- Cutting and Creasing Sheets are cut to the ordered panel size and creased where the part has to fold.
- Fabrication Boxes, totes, trays, sleeves and layer pads are formed by welding, riveting or sealing the edges and corners, and accessories are fitted.
- Inspection and Packing Finished goods are inspected, then packed in plastic shrink film on wooden pallets or to the packing method the customer specifies.
From Enquiry to Delivered Goods
Quality Control
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System
Operations run to an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system so that the process meets international standards.
100% Inspection Before Delivery
Quality control is carried out inside our own factory and every product is 100% tested before it is released for delivery.
Extrusion Line Control
Thickness, weight per square metre, flute geometry and colour are set and checked on the extrusion line so each sheet matches the ordered specification.
Fabrication Check
Cut sizes, crease positions, welded corners and sealed edges are checked against the approved sample before packing.
Certifications and Standards
Operations run to an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system. Container resin can be specified as ESD safe or flame retardant meeting UL 94 HB flame retardant grade. Where food contact packing is required, 100% new virgin materials are used. We do not publish certificates we have not been given — ask and we will send what applies to your order.
Customization and Comparison
Customization Options
- OEM and customised orders are welcome. Send the drawing and the requirements of the style you want and we will submit samples for your approval.
- Thickness, weight per square metre, panel size, colour and grade are all set per order.
- Boxes and containers can be produced in different colours, thicknesses and styles to your detailed requirements, including dividers, layer pads and accessories.
- Printing and self-adhesive vinyl application are available on corona treated printing grade stock.
Comparison With Other Options
| Option | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| PP Honeycomb Board | Homogeneous rigidity in both directions, very flat, 1.5–13 mm, up to 2500 mm wide |
| Twin-Wall Corrugated Plastic | Stiff along the flute, lower cost, 2–12 mm |
| Solid PP Panel | Heavier for the same stiffness |
Use Guide
- Use honeycomb board where you need equal stiffness in both panel directions or a panel wider than a standard sheet.
- Specify weight in gsm as well as thickness, because the core density is what sets rigidity.
- Grey, white and black are standard; other colours are produced to request.
