Environmental Custom Design Honeycomb Paper Ceramic Fragile Product Protective Packaging
Paper honeycomb is a building and packing material. One of the most commons uses of paper honeycomb is for standard doors inside houses. Typically a layer of fiberglass and then the enforced paper made into honeycomb shapes (hexagon tubes) and then another layer of fiberglass. Compared pound for pound, it is stronger than steel and costs substantially less to manufacture.
Paper honeycomb is still used in structural applications such as inner doors, separation walls and furniture (kitchen cabinets).
In Switzerland and Germany, paper honeycomb has become an important material in home construction. The use of paper honeycomb as a cost-effective way to provide temporary housing units has been explored but despite high interest levels has not become the standard for temporary shelter.
Paper honeycomb is also used as a packaging material. Glued with paper on both sides, it makes an excellent protecting material for all types of items. It is currently used in the following industries: paper, automotive, glass, ceramic, transportation, appliance, and furniture. Paper honeycomb can be die cut, slit scored or cookie cut into numerous sizes and shapes to protect products "inside the box" or "outside the box". Paper honeycomb is a protective packaging alternative to wood, corrugated or EPS.
Paper honeycomb is now being used in transportation applications such as rail car and truck dunnage.
