Introducing a new product – honeycomb packing paper in sheets!

Every entrepreneur involved in mail-order sales knows how costly transport damage to goods can be. Packing problems, unstable loads and difficult road conditions are the main reasons why between 1 and 11 percent of parcels reach recipients damaged.

To avoid damage, it is worth choosing modern protective materials such as honeycomb paper. Its durable and flexible structure effectively protects parcels. In addition, it is an eco-friendly solution that is gaining popularity in modern logistics.

In-transit damage

A common issue in e-commerce and the logistics associated with it is damage to shipments during transport. Depending on the source, the parcel damage rate ranges from 1 to 11 percent. Research by Conner Industries indicates that as many as 11 percent of shipments arriving at distribution centers are damaged in some way. In e-commerce, these rates are lower, often at around 1–2 percent, but they can rise to 10 percent for more sensitive products such as electronics or glass.

Product damage most often results from human error: improper packing and poor handling of parcels in sorting facilities and by couriers. Transport conditions also affect the condition of the shipment. Some Polish roads can be potholed and bumpy, so the load can fall inside a van or truck at any moment. Sometimes even hard braking is enough for a heavier parcel to hit a lighter one.

Modern technologies such as honeycomb-style packing paper provide a solution. This paper is exceptionally durable and flexible, so it absorbs shocks and prevents products from shifting inside the parcel. The characteristic structure works like a shock absorber, reducing the risk of damage during impacts and drops. In addition, this paper is very light, so it will not significantly increase weight.

What makes honeycomb paper sheets stand out?

Our paper sheets stand out thanks to several useful features that help streamline processes in your company or even take it to a new, higher level:

Flexibility: The die-cut paper has a unique honeycomb structure, making it extremely flexible and able to wrap any item effectively. A 38x25 cm sheet can be used for wrapping parcels of unusual shape.

Eco-friendliness: If you want your company to follow modern trends, there is no better choice than Bublaki. Honeycomb sheets are made from biodegradable materials that can be recycled again.

Versatility: Packing paper sheets are available in various colors: white, brown, black and red. Neutral colors such as white or black will convey your company’s professionalism. Red, on the other hand, is useful when we want to give parcels character and stand out from the competition.

Reusable: Honeycomb-style paper is intended for multiple use thanks to durable fibers. This is a major financial saving for any shipping business, and also an opportunity to reduce waste, for the disposal of which you also have to pay.

Durability: The sheets are made of die-cut paper with a basis weight of 80g. This keeps products fully protected during transport by providing cushioning, which comes in handy when a parcel shifts in a van or accidentally drops during sorting.

An additional advantage of honeycomb sheets is that once removed from the packaging, they are ready to use immediately. No specialist machines or tools are needed to pack products quickly and efficiently before shipping them to customers.

What other honeycomb options?

Other types of honeycomb packaging are also available on our website.

Honeycomb paper on a roll works well for wrapping larger items that must be protected against damage during transport. Its downside is that you have to cut it yourself or cut smaller pieces from it, but at the same time you can wrap really large packages with it.

Meanwhile, packing paper in the form of a bag is useful for protecting specific products, including a bottle of alcohol, homemade preserves or glass tableware. The honeycomb can be stretched freely, so packing an item with a large diameter won’t be a problem.

Summary

In summary, honeycomb-structured paper is a great solution for companies that want to ensure shipment safety and introduce more eco-friendly packing methods. Its durability, flexibility and versatility make it an ideal tool for protecting products from in-transit damage. It also helps reduce the amount of waste and the costs associated with its disposal.
