Introduction
Under the background of increasingly standardized export trade and green transformation, traditional foam and plastic film packaging methods are gradually being eliminated. More and more export companies are looking for a packaging alternative that is both environmentally friendly and compliant, and has good cushioning performance and aesthetic experience, and Honeycomb Packing Paper just meets this multiple demand.
Starting from the three key pain points in export packaging, this article will analyze why honeycomb packing paper has quickly become a mainstream choice in the past two years, and show you successful application cases in multiple industry scenarios to help you complete the "qualitative upgrade" of packaging methods.
Three major packaging pain points for export companies
1. The environmental protection requirements of the international market are becoming increasingly stringent
The EU, the UK, Canada and other countries have explicitly required that packaging materials must meet environmental protection standards, and restrict or prohibit the use of non-degradable foam and plastics. If export companies continue to use traditional packaging, they will face the risk of deductions or even returns.
2. The damage rate during transportation is difficult to control
Some products (such as ceramic products, glass packaging, and precision accessories) have high requirements for buffer protection. If cheap materials are used or the gaps are improperly filled, they are very likely to be damaged during long-distance transportation, increasing after-sales costs and customer loss.
3. Unsightly packaging affects brand image
Export customers are increasingly concerned about the consumer concept of "packaging is brand". Rough, messy, and low-quality packaging can easily affect customers' first impressions and reduce repurchase rates.
Five reasons why you would choose honeycomb paper
1.100% environmentally friendly and degradable, export compliance and zero burden
Honeycomb paper wrap is made of kraft paper as raw material, no plastic, no glue, all paper structure, 100% degradable, and in compliance with the green packaging regulations of various countries (such as the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive).
For companies exporting to Europe, using honeycomb paper is a manifestation of active compliance and establishing brand responsibility.
2. Strong, durable and cushioning
The unique "stretched interlocking honeycomb structure" of honeycomb paper can generate multi-dimensional support, forming an elastic shock-absorbing effect during the winding and filling process, and even if it falls during transportation, it can effectively disperse the impact and protect the integrity of the product.
3. Visual feast, enhance packaging aesthetics
Compared with the industrial feel of foam and plastic film, honeycomb paper has a natural base paper color and three-dimensional texture, which has both protective functions and aesthetic effects, and can also enhance the customer's unboxing experience and obtain free social media publicity. It is the first choice for many brands to create an "environmentally friendly high-end" packaging style.
4. Customizable, diverse choices
The source factory provides customized honeycomb paper sizes, colors, outer packaging, and packaging with fragile labels to meet the needs of various industries that need packaging.
5. Soft and inclusive
Honeycomb packing paper is light and soft. It can be used for packaging with a light pull. It can be used to package items of various sizes, whether it is cosmetics, ceramics, or moving.

Actual case: How honeycomb paper helps exporters optimize packaging
Case 1: A natural aromatherapy brand exported to the UK
This brand has been repeatedly complained by British customers for "unfriendly packaging" due to its foam packaging. After switching to honeycomb paper, it not only successfully passed the platform's environmental audit, but also received praise from consumers in social media:
"I felt the brand's environmental protection concept from the moment I opened the box, even the packaging is made of paper."
At the same time, with the electric honeycomb paper machine provided by our company, the packaging efficiency was increased by about 40%, and the packaging time for a single shipment was reduced from the original 55 seconds to 32 seconds.
Case 2: Glass lighting factory exporting to Germany
Originally, bubble film + foam board were used for packaging, which was bulky, costly, and unsightly. After switching to honeycomb paper:
1. Export costs dropped by 18% (saving foam purchase and storage costs)
2. Overall shipping weight was reduced, reducing international shipping costs
3. "Green packaging solution" was added to the product promotion page to improve brand competitiveness
How to use honeycomb Wrapping paper more efficiently?
In order to improve efficiency and standardize operations, honeycomb paper is usually used in combination with the following equipment:
Matching equipment | Functional description |
Honeycomb Paper Machine | Automatically stretch and cut honeycomb paper to improve efficiency |
Paper Void Fill Machine | Used in conjunction with honeycomb paper to fill large spaces |
Paper Tape Dispenser | Use kraft paper tape to seal boxes and create a safe sealed packaging system |
Conclusion
The emergence of honeycomb paper is not a "supplement" to traditional foam packaging, but a thorough reconstruction of packaging logic in the green era. It not only reduces the environmental risks of export companies, but also improves customer experience, optimizes warehousing efficiency, and creates a "green, high-end, and responsible" image for the brand.
