Guides to kraft paper and honeycomb cushioning, written for people deciding whether to buy protective packaging or make it.
How honeycomb paper works
A slit pattern turns a flat sheet into a three dimensional cell structure, and the geometry does the cushioning.
Choosing a kraft paper weight
Grammage sets both the protection and the running cost, and heavier is not automatically better.
Honeycomb, fanfold or crinkle
Three paper formats that answer three different packing problems, and are not interchangeable.
Sizing a paper converting line
Machine capacity is easy to over-buy, and the constraint is usually the packing bench rather than the converter.
What paper cushioning cannot do
An honest account of the limits, because a substitution that fails costs more than the plastic it replaced.
Moving from plastic without stopping
The substitution works format by format, which is why most operations change over without a shutdown.
Tell us your roll width
Send the roll width you buy, the material you want to produce and your daily output, and we will configure a machine around them rather than quoting a fixed model.
