Honeycomb Core

Honeycomb Core is an eco-friendly cushioning material made from kraft paper or recycled paper processed into a hexagonal honeycomb structure, featuring high strength, light weight, and recyclability. In foreign trade, it is commonly used for packaging filling and pallet support for furniture, electronics, precision instruments, etc., to replace expanded polystyrene (EPS) or wooden frames. Usage scenarios include export packaging solution design, customs declaration of product names, and confirming packaging specifications with customers. Precautions: It is necessary to specify the paper core's grammage, aperture, thickness, and compressive strength, as different specifications affect tariff classification (e.g., 48239090) and transportation costs; also pay attention to the target market's environmental regulations (e.g., EU Packaging Directive). The difference from 'honeycomb paperboard' is that the core is the core layer without facing paper, while paperboard is the finished product after the core layer is bonded with facing paper; compared with 'corrugated paperboard', the honeycomb structure has stronger load-bearing capacity but poorer flexibility. Foreign trade practitioners should accurately master this term to avoid customs clearance delays or claims caused by inconsistent packaging descriptions.
