Product & Features
Paper honeycomb panels consist of a stable honeycomb structure and liners made from recycled paper. They are used as partition walls & intermediate layers or furniture components, can be further processed into packaging and paper honeycomb pallets, for example, or are used in the construction industry.
We produce our products according to customer-specific requirements in many possible dimensions. We do not have a classic standard.
Width: Standard 1,200 mm, maximum 1,500 mm, customised cuts are possible
Length: Maximum 6,000 mm for sheets and 4,000 mm for strips/cut-to-size pieces
Thickness: Minimum 8 – 10 mm, maximum 135 mm, higher thicknesses are also possible by gluing several paper honeycomb panels together
Paper honeycomb panels offer very high compressive strength at a low weight. In many applications, they successfully replace wooden or plastic elements, e.g. as an intermediate layer or in furniture constructions.
The surface load capacity and flexibility of our boards depend on the desired compressive strength and flexural rigidity. These vary depending on the combination of raw materials used. We have honeycomb panels with different cell sizes and cell heights as well as various cover papers/liners in stock and we orientate ourselves in the combination according to your wishes.
Our honeycomb boards can only be loaded over their entire surface. The weight should be distributed over the entire board to avoid pressure point loading.
Our products are made of paper and are hygroscopic, absorbing and releasing moisture.
Dry, on a level surface, protected from direct moisture – this is how the boards remain dimensionally stable and ready for use.
Further processing & individualisation
Our honeycomb boards consist of a stable honeycomb core made of paper, which is glued on (usually) both sides with cover paper (liner).
We offer various materials for the cover papers (liners): Testliner, Kraftliner, Grey cardboard and SK (special cardboard) board. With the exception of the grey board, all liners are natural brown.
Yes – we can realise individual shapes, cut-outs and technical drawings in series.
Yes – we offer die-cut parts, multiple gluing and self-adhesive versions.
There is a one-off tooling charge for customised die-cutting tools. The customised tool is your property. We maintain, service, repair and insure the tools stored with us for you for a small flat-rate tool maintenance fee.
We supply our paper honeycomb panels unprinted, but the material can easily be further processed or laminated using the panel printing process – ideal for customised designs.
Sustainability & material
Yes – our panels are made from recycled paper and water-soluble glue. They are fully recyclable.
In many cases, yes – especially for intermediate layers, partitions or transport packaging. Traditional EPS packaging and padding can also be easily replaced by our paper-based solutions – particularly efficiently with Yama Soft, our flexible, shock-absorbing variant for sensitive products.
Our paper honeycomb panels are made of 100 % paper – around 70 % recycled paper and 30 % virgin fibres – and are manufactured using water-soluble glue. They are fully recyclable and particularly environmentally friendly.
Yes, disposal is straightforward via the paper/cardboard cycle in accordance with local recycling regulations.
Our paper remnants and production waste are shredded directly on site, pressed into bales and fed back into the production cycle by a paper manufacturer – for genuine resource conservation and a functioning circular economy.
We source our raw materials from the EU. If you are planning to ship your goods to other countries, please contact us about our source material and the possible effects on your export.
Delivery & Logistics & Service
Yes, we deliver both small quantities and complete pallet loads.
Our minimum purchase quantity for an order is:
- 100 m² for our honeycomb products with existing standard raw materials
- 3 pallets for our edge protection (packing height of the pallet: minimum 80 cm and maximum 150 cm depending on the nature of your desired product)
As our products are individually configured according to cell size, cell height, top layer and delivery quantity and location, we do not offer a general price list. We would be happy to provide you with a customised offer – our customer service team looks forward to receiving your enquiry.
Of course: we accept the number of samples you require in small quantities and charge a flat-rate sample fee.
Delivery and loading on our premises is possible from 08.00 – 16.00 (CEST). Should you wish to arrange other times, please contact us.
We supply our products to all EU member states and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries – i.e. also to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
Depending on production capacity utilisation, our delivery times are around 6 weeks.
We plan production in such a way that we can dispatch to you immediately afterwards. If you require an earlier delivery than originally agreed, we will make a note of this and contact you if our production processes allow an earlier delivery.
As we source raw materials from the EU as well as from third countries, we cannot issue you with a long-term supplier’s declaration (according to §62 UZK-IA). For future deliveries, please let us know whether a supplier’s declaration per delivery (§ 61 UZK-IA) is required. We will then check each case individually.
Please remember that packaging materials are not subject to customs duties and you therefore do not require a supplier’s declaration for your packaging.
No problem: we can create a neutral delivery note and pallet note. Of course, we can also use your documents on request.
In a sustainably operating company, we generally favour digital invoicing by e-mail.
The quality criteria are also geared towards certifications. ISO 9001:2015 and AEO are a matter of course. We are also an FSC® -certified company (FSC® C141400) and apply the FSC® transfer system. Only FSC® raw or semi-finished materials are used for the production of FSC® -certified materials and there is no mixing with non-certified materials. As our production is order-related, you should explicitly state your wish for FSC® -certified goods before confirming your order.
We do not buy used Euro pallets. We also do not manufacture Euro pallets.
If you are interested in a solution made of paper honeycomb pallets that can replace Euro pallets, please contact our customer service.
