FAQ for Awesome Pack’s HoneyComb Paper Wrap & HoneyComb Padded Mailers

How to Use Honeycomb Kraft Paper Wrap?

There are 2 types of Honeycomb Kraft Paper Wrap that you can buy from Awesome Pack, they are:

1. Honeycomb Paper Wrap Packaged in a Ready to Use Dispenser Box. You can see a sample with white tissue paper here or one just with kraft paper wrap here.

This type is Ready to Use and nothing else is required apart from a table to wrap you goods on. The first and most important step on using this is to make sure you tape down the dispenser box on the table. There are 2 adhesive strips on the bottom of the box which you need to remove the peel and once the adhesive strip is exposed then you can stick it firmly on the table. This is very important as if you don’t stick the box down, when you pull the paper the box will follow you and the honeycomb paper will not be stretched and form the Honeycomb shape.

2. Honeycomb Paper Wrap Roll Only without a dispenser. You can see a sample of the roll here.

This type is honeycomb paper wrap on a roll which require your own dispenser in order to use it. The Core size of the honeycomb paper wrap Roll is 25mm (1 inch) so any dispenser that can slot through a 25mm sized core will work fine. Your bubble wrap dispenser should work fine on this but please check the core size of your dispenser before use.

Is Honeycomb paper as Cushioning as Bubble Wrap?

In cushioning packaging bubble wrap is the norm for protecting your goods during shipping, however due to the negative effects it has on the environment many eCommerce businesses are trying to stay away from it and using Honeycomb kraft paper wrap instead. In terms of cushion affects when comparing one layer of bubble wrap and one layer of honeycomb paper, the bubble wrap will be more protective however if you wrap your goods in a couple layers in honeycomb it will have the same effect and at the same time you will be going good to the environment.

Is Honeycomb paper Recyclable, Biodegradable or Compostable?

Short answer is Yes. Let us break it down for you. Is it recyclable? Yes, because all paper based products are recyclable meaning you can throw it with all your other paper products in the Yellow Bin for the council to collect. Is it Biodegradable or Compostable? All paper products are biodegradable as they are plant derivatives and in terms of being compostable yes the honeycomb paper is counted as a “brown” ingredient that provides carbon for your compost. So overall it is a renewable resource and it is considered as eco-friendly packaging.

How does the Cost of Honeycomb paper wrap compare with Bubble Wrap?

The cost of Honeycomb paper wrap is similar with Bubble wrap when you are comparing one layer vs one layer. The costs are about the same between the two and you can see in the following Cost Comparison:

Honeycomb Paper Wrap Roll: 500mm Width x 450m Length is $88 per roll, click here for more info. That is approx $0.20 per metre of paper wrap roll.

Bubble Wrap Roll: 500mm Width x 100m Length is $22 per roll, click here for more info. That is approx. $0.22 per metre of bubble wrap roll.

The cost of honeycomb paper wrap is actually 10% cheaper when compared head to head with Bubble Wrap but there is one thing that you need to consider and that is “will one layer of honeycomb paper be enough protection when wrapping my products for shipping?” As a general rule one layer of honeycomb paper does not give as much cushion as one layer of bubble wrap but is it good enough for shipping your products? This is something you need to decide on and best to test before determining the cost comparisons.

ie If you think you need 2 layers of honeycomb paper in order to safely ship your products then it would be approx. $0.40 per metre, when compared with bubble wrap of $0.22 per meter then it is 82% more expensive. So how fragile your goods are will change the cost comparison, not sure which one to use? Why not buy a sample roll of the honeycomb paper wrap to see if it is suitable for your business.

How does Honeycomb Padded Mailers compare with Plastic Bubble Mailers?

Honeycomb padded mailers are kraft envelopes with honeycomb kraft paper stuffed within each side for the cushioning effect which is similar to the plastic bubble mailer which are kraft envelopes but with bubble wrap within each side.

Honeycomb Padded Mailer with Double Layers: Is 100% made from Kraft paper which makes it completely kerbside recyclable (yellow bin). Awesome Pack's Honeycomb Padded Mailer has 2 layers of Honeycomb kraft paper within each side of the envelope. This offers better protection for your goods in transit and it a major differentiator when compared to other mailers in the Australian Honeycomb Padded Mailers Market.

Don't Buy Cheap Honeycomb Padded Mailers as they are Single Layer Only: Most Cheap Honeycomb Padded Mailers have only one layer of honeycomb stretch kraft paper and doesn't offer sufficient cushion for your product during transit and have a higher chance to cause breakage. As a rough guide two layers of honeycomb kraft paper equates to one layer of bubble wrap.

Cost Comparison between Honeycomb Padded Mailer & Plastic Bubble Mailer: The sizes we offer for each of the padded mailer types are a little different. If you compare Honeycomb Padded Mailer 130x250mm with Plastic Bubble Mailer 160x230mm the price for them are $90 for 180 mailers ($0.50 each) and $42 for 200 mailers ($0.21 each) respectively. Therefore Honeycomb Padded Mailer is 58% more expensive than Plastic bubble mailers. 

Eco-Friendly Branding: even though Honeycomb Padded Mailer is more expensive than the plastic padded mailers you may still want to pay the higher price as it show your customers that you are an environmentally conscious brand & use Eco-Friendly Packaging. As per Australia Post's eCommerce Industry Report 38% of consumers want their retailers to use eco-friendly packaging.
