A lightweight, recyclable, and superior cushioning material, honeycomb paper is made from layers of kraft paper that have been glued into a hexagonal, beehive-like structure. It absorbs shocks and disperses impact pressures to safeguard objects during storage or transportation by extending into a three-dimensional grid of cells.


The name honeycomb paper comes from the hexagonal cells in a beehive's inherent efficiency. However, honeycomb paper is made from recycled and website renewable kraft paper that is glued together to create stiff yet flexible rolls or panels. The strength-to-weight ratio in nature, where thin walls sustain heavy loads without requiring extra material, is mirrored by this construction. The end product is a substance that is more sustainable than conventional fillers like foam or plastic since it is completely biodegradable and uses less energy to make.
