How the Product Works?

Honeycomb Sleeves are engineered to expand into a flexible hexagonal mesh structure that naturally wraps around cylindrical products. When stretched, the kraft paper cells open into a honeycomb pattern, creating a 3D cushioning layer that absorbs impact and prevents movement.

As the sleeve expands, it conforms to the exact shape of the bottle, jar, or container, giving full-surface protection without additional tapes or fillers. The mesh locks onto the product, ensuring stability inside cartons during handling, courier transit, and long-distance shipping.

The honeycomb architecture distributes pressure evenly across the surface, reducing the risk of breakage, cracks, or scratches. This makes it an efficient, plastic-free alternative to foam nets and bubble wrap—ideal for e-commerce, retail, and export packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Honeycomb Sleeves?

Honeycomb Sleeves are expandable kraft paper mesh sleeves designed to protect bottles, jars, candles, cosmetics, and other cylindrical fragile items. They create a 3D cushioning layer that absorbs shocks during handling and shipping.

Are these sleeves reusable?

Depending on handling, they can be reused several times. However, they are designed to be recyclable at end-of-life.

How do Honeycomb Sleeves protect products?

When stretched, the paper cells open into a honeycomb pattern that wraps tightly around the item. This structure distributes impact evenly, reduces breakage, and prevents surface scratches.

Do Honeycomb Sleeves require any additional tape or filler?

Honeycomb Sleeves naturally grip the product due to their expandable mesh structure. However, for secure transit—especially for bottles, jars, and fragile cylindrical items—it is recommended to seal the bottom and top edges using water-activated tape. This ensures the sleeve stays firmly in place, prevents slipping, and provides an added layer of protection during courier handling and export shipping.
