Honeycomb is a packaging material consisting of kraft paper formed into continuous uniform hexagonal cells. The hexagonal structure makes this light material quite strong can support 40ton/m2 maximum(vertical compression). Honeycomb was created for the aeronautic industry in the 40¡¯s, due to the high relation weight resistance.
Due to the wide range of applications, the honeycomb can be considered as both inner and outer packaging. Apart from blocking and filling it can also be used as a shock absorbing product, a product separator or even for pallets. Anything from small electronic components to large generators can be protected with honeycomb. The packaging can be designed for products as light as a cell phone or as heavy as automotive parts of several tons. |
