„Honeycomb” Cardboard Sheet 600 × 400 × 10 mm – Paper Strength, Featherweight
The “honeycomb” paper construction – hexagonal core cells + precisely selected covering layers – creates an light, yet exceptionally rigid board resistant to crushing and impacts. The material is twenty times lighter than wood, and after use, it goes directly into the waste paper stream. The 600 × 400 × 10 mm format is perfect as an insert, filler or stabilizing liner in e-commerce logistics, furniture industry and household appliances/electronics sector.
🍯 What exactly is a "honeycomb" structured sheet?
Honeycomb sheet is created in three steps:
- Expanding the core - strips of kraft paper are alternately glued with strips of water glue, rolled into a block, and then "stretched" lengthwise, creating a rigid network of hexagonal cells.
- Laminating the facings - on both sides of the core, faces of testliner (durable recycled paper) are applied, which transfer tensile and compressive stresses like the straps of a two-tea beam.
- Cutting to format - the finished plate is cut with a laser or a tape knife to the dimensions of 600 × 400 mm.
This results in a natural "sandwich panel" with an exceptionally favorable strength-to-mass ratio
- 🔬 Base material: 100% kraft paper (recycling) + water glue without solvent.
- 🪶 Surface weight (10 mm): approx. 0.45 kg/m² — over 50% lighter than PE foam 30 kg/m³.
- 📊 Core parameters: height 10 mm · mesh 15 mm · wall thickness 0.2 mm.
- 🌍 Ecology: fully biodegradable, compostable and recyclable in the waste paper stream.
🧪 Key properties - rigidity + damping
This sheet combines the hardness of a board and the "spring" of foam, so it protects goods from slow crushing in the warehouse as well as from sudden shocks in transport.
- 🏋️♂️ Reliable protection when stacking - withstands pressure up to 800 kg / m², so your pallets won't flatten even on the lowest layer.
- 📏 Less deformation - 70% higher stiffness than PE foams means less crushing and complaints.
- 💥 Shocks damping - absorbs the energy of a fall from 80 cm, protecting fragile glass, ceramics or electronics.
- 🔄 Reusable - after removing the load, it recovers up to 85% of its thickness in 30 s, so you can use it again.
- 🪶 Light as a feather - weighs just 0.45 kg / m²; this reduces the cost of freight and reduces the CO₂ footprint by even 30% compared to wood and foam.
The effect? One sheet replaces both the wooden board and the PE foam, simplifying packing and saving money.
- 🌡️ From frost to heat - it maintains parameters from −20 °C to +70 °C, so it will work in a cooler and on a heated ramp.
- 🌧️ Humidity doesn't scare him - short-term moisture does not lower the stiffness of the sheet; the material is not intended for constant, continuous exposure to water.
- ⚡ Electronics friendly - the antistatic version drains charges, protecting sensitive components from "dry short-circuiting".
- 🍏 Food contact - paper and starch glue can have indirect contact with food; they don't transfer tastes or smells.
- 🔥 Easy neutralization - after recycling, it can be burned to recover energy, without smoke and toxic ashes.
📦 Typical applications - how you can benefit
- 📑 Pallet pads and layers – the sheet distributes the weight over the entire surface, allowing you to stack boxes higher and use up to 30% more space in the warehouse.
- 🔄 Filling empty spaces – after quick cutting or scoring, you create wedges and 3D dividers that immobilize the goods and prevent bruising.
- 🫧 Protection of delicate surfaces – wrapped around glass, photovoltaic panels or paintings to prevent scratches and dampen shocks without dusting.
- 🛡️ Paper angles and corners – protect furniture, monitor frames and furniture boards, and after use, they go to waste paper.
- 📦 Insert for e-commerce packages – lightweight sheets create a "nest" for porcelain, candles or audio equipment; the customer receives a package free of styrofoam and easy to recycle.
- 🏗️ Lightweight POS construction boards – you build trade fair stands up to 2.4 m; assembly without tools, and transport cheaper by one third.
- 🪑 "Plug-and-play" furniture – filling countertops and fronts reduces the weight of the furniture by 35%, facilitating assembly and reducing shipping costs.
🏭 Industries already using honeycomb cardboard - and why
- 💻 Electronics & optics – sheets separate matrices, PCBs and LED modules, preventing scratches and ESD discharges with minimal increase in shipment weight.
- 🚗 Automotive – paper boards protect glass sheets, body parts and interior parts; reduce cracks in transport, and after unloading go directly to paper recycling.
- 🛋️ Furniture & interior design – used as a filling for countertops, doors and panels; reduce the weight of the furniture by up to 35%, simplifying assembly and reducing shipping costs.
- 🍶 Premium food and beverage industry – honeycomb formats create cushioning nests for bottles and jars, combining "eco-look" aesthetics with easy recycling at the customer's.
- 🧴 Pharmacy & cosmetics – used as a lightweight insulating insert 2–8 °C in refrigerated packaging; after delivery, the consumer throws the material into the wastepaper bin.
- 🎨 POS & advertising – from the boards are created stands and exhibition walls up to 2.4 m; the structures are so light that one person assembles them without tools in a few minutes.

♻️ Recycling and Reuse - We close the loop
A honeycomb sheet is 100% homogeneous paper, so cleaning up after it is as simple as throwing away a newspaper.
- 🗑️ Recycling without guessing - you throw it into the blue container along with cardboard and newspapers; no need to separate any foil or foam.
- ♻️ Full closure of the cycle - paper mills process it into new corrugated cardboard or newspaper, reducing the cutting of fresh trees.
- 🔄 Second life in the warehouse - thanks to recovery of thickness, you can use the same sheet several times as a divider or filler.
- 🌱 Compost option - if it goes to BIO waste in an industrial plant, it decomposes within a few weeks, turning into natural humus.
- 🔥 Energy without toxins - when recycling is not possible, the paper burns cleanly (<1% ash), recovering heat instead of accumulating in a landfill.
Thanks to this, your packaging "lives" in a closed cycle: it protects the product, and then returns to the production of another paper or provides energy - zero waste, zero problem.
📦 Custom-sized cardboard and packaging customization
Combine cardboard cut to the millimeter with honeycomb sheets to create a 100% paper package that protects the product better than a set of foils, foams and fillers.
- 🔒 Perfect fit - custom-sized box + honeycomb dividers eliminate empty spaces, so the goods don’t "fly" inside and arrive without damage.
- 🌍 Zero plastic - the whole thing is homogeneous in material; the customer throws everything into the blue container, and you show that you really care about the environment.
- 💡 Brand that makes an impression - printing inside and outside the carton builds an "unboxing-experience", and the paper look emphasizes a pro-eco image.
- 📦 Less volume = lower costs - a box without excess air reduces the volume of the shipment, which translates into cheaper courier transport and storage.
- ♻️ One fraction of waste - lack of styrofoam or bubble wrap means simpler segregation and a higher recycling rate at the end user.

By choosing the mesh size (8 - 25 mm) and the weight of the coverings (150 - 350 g/m²) we will precisely set the level of rigidity and damping according to the requirements of your packing line.
Trivia:
- 🧊 For special tasks. Sheets are also available in hydrophobic and self-extinguishing versions - they will work in refrigeration packaging and in air transport, where resistance to moisture and fire safety matter.
- 📊 Lightness from the air. More than 80% of the core's volume is air trapped in hexagons, which gives the material the best strength-to-weight ratio in its class.
- 🔧 Parameters on request. By changing the mesh size (8–25 mm) and the cover weight (150–350 g/m²), you can get sheets from soft, elastic RTV inserts to heavy-duty pallet boards that can withstand up to 1200 kg/m².
