Bubble wrap is a common type of packaging known for its ability to protect goods during transportation and storage. While it is recyclable after proper treatment, it is important to remember that foam packaging is still a plastic that causes pollution to the earth and does not degrade naturally.

Since the new plastic tax came into effect in April, businesses are trying to reduce their tax bill by using as little plastic as possible. If your business wants to do the same, it's a good idea to switch to paper packaging instead of plastic.

In this article, we'll explore 5 reasons why you should switch from bubble wrap to honeycomb:

1. Honeycomb paper packaging is a more sustainable option

Honeycomb paper wrap is an environmentally friendly alternative based on kraft paper, which is made by connecting individual kraft paper strips together to form a continuous ring of hexagonal units. Since it's made from renewable resources like die-cut kraft paper, that means honeycomb paper packaging is 100% curbside recyclable and easy to dispose of.

Although bubble wrap can also be recycled, the process is complex and requires special treatment by professionals. This means that honeycomb paper packaging is easier to handle when it comes to recycling.

The honeycomb paper design is inspired by nature and resembles the interior of a beehive. Thanks to its compact design, it uses much less space than traditional bubble wrap, which in turn saves not only the cost of storage space but also shipping costs.

In addition, honeycomb paper packaging uses significantly less paper in its production process. Therefore, it is a great invention that helps to protect our environment and protect it from other pollution sources.

2. Honeycomb paper wrap is lightweight but very strong

While honeycomb paper packaging is light, that doesn't mean it's less strong. In fact, honeycomb paper packaging offers superior strength and stiffness compared to other options on the market. Due to its ability to buffer and absorb shocks, it can provide a high level of protection and thus achieve reliable safe transport of goods that can be trusted.

Many businesses can take advantage of paper honeycomb packaging by reducing the weight of goods and thus shipping costs, while still benefiting from the durability and protection it provides.

3. Honeycomb paper wrap is a cost-effective solution

The cellular manufacturing process requires less material than other packaging solutions, which means lower production and purchase costs. For example, our single roll of honeycomb paper packaging can store up to 250 meters of paper packaging, which means it requires less storage space than traditional bubble wrap.

Not only that, but because of lower shipping costs, plastic tax exemptions, and less storage space, companies often save more than once when choosing cellular paper packaging.

4. Honeycomb paper wrap is fast and easy to use

Lightweight and flexible honeycomb paper packaging is quick and easy to use, so you can protect your products in just three simple steps and pack efficiently every time.

Step 1: Pull the package apart and place the object on top of the honeycomb paper package.

Step 2: Stretch the wrapping paper so that the structure is vertical. Then wrap the object while maintaining tension.

Step 3: When finished packing, tear off the paper to disconnect from the reel. The wrap will maintain its shape and protect your object from any external damage.

5. Honeycomb paper wrap has great flexibility

Honeycomb paper packaging exhibits great flexibility and ductility due to its expandable honeycomb structure. This means that even clumsily shaped products can fit neatly in a well-protected package. It also means that the size of the package is reduced, reducing shipping costs substantially, and it protects handles, irregular edges, and a variety of other odd-shaped components.

Whether you are packing a single item or a larger item, honeycomb paper packaging can be perfectly shaped around your product to ensure ultimate protection.
