Custom Honeycomb Mailers
Honeycomb mailers are manufactured using a 3-layer composite of high-strength kraft paper and a structural honeycomb core. This architecture provides excellent shock absorption, effectively protecting items from impact damage during transit.

FAQ about Custom Honeycomb Mailers
1. What are honeycomb padded mailers?
These are all-paper cushioned shipping bags. They feature a rigid honeycomb-cell core sandwiched between two layers of kraft paper. Equipped with a self-seal honeycomb paper mailer closure, they eliminate the need for extra packing tape. They combine the protective cushioning of a bubble mailer with the sustainability of a paper envelope.
2. What materials are used in these cushioned paper mailers?
We use exclusively paper-based materials. The inner and outer layers are premium kraft paper, while the protective middle layer consists of hexagonal honeycomb paper cells, bonded with water-based glue. The result is a safe, plastic-free material that is fully biodegradable.
3. Padded MailersHow effective is the protection?
The honeycomb structure is engineered to disperse impact force. These bags offer superior shock absorption and compression resistance compared to single-layer kraft bags, providing protection levels comparable to traditional bubble mailers. The material is tough and tear-resistant, ensuring contents remain intact.
4. Which GSM (weight) should I choose?
We offer customizable paper thickness to suit your cargo:
240gsm (80g/80g/80g): Lightweight and flexible. Ideal for apparel, jewelry, and small accessories (up to 2kg).
300gsm (100g/100g/100g): Our standard wholesale honeycomb padded mailers choice. Balanced durability and protection. Ideal for books and electronics (2–4kg).
360gsm+ (120g+): High-density protection. Tear-resistant and rigid. Ideal for hardware components and heavier items (5kg+).
Customization: We can adjust individual layer GSM to meet your specific branding and protection needs.
5. How do the closure and opening features work?
Closure: Standard self-seal honeycomb paper mailers come with a high-tack adhesive strip. Simply peel and press for a permanent, secure bond—no secondary packaging tape required.
Opening: Standard units are manual-tear. For custom orders, we can add a pull tab (tear strip) so recipients can open the package cleanly without scissors.
6. Honeycomb Mailers vs. Poly Bubble Mailers: What’s the difference?
Bubble Mailers: Use plastic bubble film as a cushion. Lower cost, but creates plastic waste.
Honeycomb Mailers: Use a paper honeycomb core. 100% paper-based, fully curbside recyclable, and biodegradable.
7. What is the MOQ?
Small Batch (Logo Printing): Minimum 100 units.
Bulk Custom (Custom Size/Full Color): Minimum 5,000 units.
