EcoCushion Honeycomb Paper Wraps are made from high-strength kraft paper that is 100% recyclable and biodegradable, making it an excellent solution for eco-friendly protective packaging.
The paper is engineered to expand into a 3D honeycomb structure, which provides the cushioning layer around the product during packaging and transit.
Let us first understand what GSM means – GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre and refers to the weight of paper per square metre. It is commonly used as an indicator of paper weight and, broadly, thickness.
However, GSM alone does not determine the quality or protective performance of Honeycomb Paper. Strength, tensile strength, tear resistance, burst factor and the way the paper performs when converted into the honeycomb structure are also important.
EcoCushion Honeycomb Wraps typically use 85 GSM (+/- 5) high-strength kraft paper. We test the paper for key performance parameters including GSM, tensile strength, tear resistance and burst factor to ensure consistent performance.
Many a times, customers ask for 100+ GSM assuming that that means higher protection. However the thicker the paper, the less efficient the honeycomb structure, thereby offering lesser cushion.
Both use honeycomb paper technology but are designed to serve different purposes:
- Honeycomb Wrap is used to : Wrap and cushion the product directly. It is suitable for fragile products such as glassware, ceramics, bottles, jars, home décor or any other product meant for e-commerce shipping.
- EcoCushion BoxFill is a void filling solution used to : fills empty spaces inside the shipping box to help prevent products from shifting within the box in transit in many applications, they work together:
Honeycomb Wrap = direct product protection + BoxFill = void filling and movement control
Each of these uses a different paper grade suited to its specific job.
EcoCushion Honeycomb Wraps are available in different roll lengths, widths, and colors depending on the product variant.
- Our available options in widths include 7.5 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, 15 inches and 20 inches widths, with different roll lengths available across the range. We also offer custom sizes and configurations for qualifying bulk and B2B requirements.
- We also offer custom sizes and configurations for qualifying bulk and B2B requirements.

Custom sizes, widths, and bulk-specific packaging options are also available — contact our team for tailored requirements.
EcoCushion Honeycomb Sleeves are structured sleeves designed primarily for bottles, jars and other cylindrical products.
They create a very thick honeycomb board style cushioning layer around the product while helping reduce direct contact and friction during handling and transportation. They are particularly suitable for glass bottles, cosmetic jars, glass jars (such as ghee jars, honey jars, or pickle jars), perfume bottles and similar products.
This is encouraged for businesses that prefer premium packaging and where packaging time is of importance.
We recommend pairing EcoCushion Solid Sleeves with BoxFill to secure the top and bottom ends and to eliminate any empty space inside the box.
Honeycomb Paper Wrap is suitable for a wide range of products that require protection from courier handling impact and in transit damages. Some of the most common applications include
- Glassware, bottles and jars
- Ceramics and pottery
- Skin care, personal care, and perfumes
- Soaps and Candles
- Packaged food (D2C items)
- Electronics and appliances
- Gifts and collectibles
- Jewellery and accessories
- Pharmaceutical items
- E-commerce and D2C products
Its expandable honeycomb structure adapts to different product shapes very easily, making it a versatile alternative to plastic bubble wraps or corrugated sheets.
EcoCushion is designed to be simple to use:
Stretch → Wrap → Tear
Stretch the paper until the 3D honeycomb structure opens, wrap it around the product, and tear it to the required length and tuck in the corners in the honeycomb cells or secure with tape if required.
No scissors or tape are required for normal use.
For fragile or heavier or multiple products, use additional layers as required and ensure the product is properly secured and not moving inside the outer box.
Watch here – how to use properly
Number of wrapping layers depends on product weight, material, fragility, shape, shipping conditions and outer packaging. The most important thing to ensure is that this hexa cushion wrap is fully stretched before wrapping products.
As a guiding point:
- Less fragile products such as wood, plastic, cardboard boxes : 1–2 layers
- Fragile products such as ceramics, jars: 3+ layers
- Highly fragile products (glass, plates, home decor): Additional layers may be required
Always stretch the paper fully first – proper stretch matters more for cushioning than layer count alone.
Yes. EcoCushion Honeycomb Wrap is designed for protective packaging as a direct substitute to plastic bubble wrap for applications including glass, ceramics and other fragile products.
For best results, it is important to remember:
- Stretch the paper bubble wrap fully until honeycomb structure appears
- Use adequate layers for the product
- Avoid compressing the layers once product is wrapped
- Ensure any empty space in the box is filled using EcoCushion BoxFiller
- Use an appropriately strong outer carton
Common reasons for these damages could be:
- Honeycomb/ Hexa Wrap was not fully/ properly stretched
- Insufficient layers used
- The product was moving freely inside the box
- Layers got compressed
- Empty box space wasn’t filled
- Outer carton was too weak/ oversized
Ensuring full stretch, adequate void fill, and a sturdy outer box can resolve most damage issues.
No, EcoCushion Honeycomb Paper is not waterproof. It is a paper based packaging material. While. it performs well under normal humidity and shipping conditions, but it is advised to avoid direct water exposure.
For best results:
- Store rolls in a dry place
- Keep outer cartons weather-protected during transit
