Product Overview
The Honeycomb Paper Sleeve emerges as a premium sustainable packaging solution tailored for wine bottles, ceramic artworks, and high-value fragile products. Crafted from 100% recycled kraft paper (30% post-consumer waste), its hexagonal cellular structure—modeled after beehive architecture—delivers exceptional shock absorption and compression resistance. Unlike plastic foam or bubble wrap, it is lightweight (reducing shipping costs by 15%) yet robust enough to withstand rigorous transit conditions. This eco-friendly alternative aligns with global sustainability goals, appealing to brands prioritizing green packaging without compromising on protection.

Features
Hexagonal Honeycomb Design: The interlocking cell structure distributes impact forces across the entire sleeve, reducing breakage rates by 90% compared to traditional foam inserts in independent drop tests (1.2m height onto concrete).
Customizable Fit: Expands up to 20% of its original size to snugly wrap irregular shapes—from curved wine bottle necks to sculpted ceramic edges—eliminating internal movement during transit.
Eco-Friendly Credentials: Fully recyclable, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals, it meets EU REACH (no restricted substances) and FDA food contact standards (safe for direct contact with edible products).
Cost-Effective Logistics: Lightweight construction lowers dimensional weight charges, while flat shipping (before expansion) reduces warehouse storage space by 60% compared to pre-formed foam packaging.
Applications
Wine & Spirits: Safeguards premium wine bottles, champagne flutes, and whiskey decanters during cross-country or international shipping, preserving labels and preventing glass chipping.
Ceramics & Artifacts: Protects handcrafted pottery, porcelain vases, and museum artifacts from vibrations during exhibitions or relocation.
Cosmetics & Luxury Goods: Enhances unboxing experiences for high-end perfume bottles, skincare jars, and jewelry boxes with a premium, sustainable aesthetic.
Artisan Crafts: Shields handmade candles, essential oil bottles, and small wooden crafts from damage in online or retail distribution.
FAQ
Q: Can the sleeve be printed with branding?
A: Yes, it supports water-based inks for custom logos, brand messages, or care instructions, with high print clarity on the natural kraft paper surface.
Q: How many sleeves fit in a standard carton?
A: Approximately 100 sleeves per carton (400×300×250mm), depending on size—larger sleeves (e.g., 100mm diameter) hold 70–80 units per carton.
Q: Is the honeycomb structure waterproof?
A: While not fully waterproof, its dense layered design resists light moisture (e.g., warehouse condensation) better than standard paper. For wet environments, we offer a water-resistant coating option.
Q: What’s the minimum order quantity for custom sizes?
A: Custom sizes start at 5,000 units, with shorter lead times (7–10 days) for bulk orders over 10,000 units.
