Step-by-step0 / 5 checked
Quick answer
Pull, stretch, wrap tightly, and secure. The honeycomb cells must be fully expanded for maximum cushioning. Wrap the item completely with no exposed areas. For fragile items, double-wrap or add extra layers at the most vulnerable points (corners, rims, handles). Place the wrapped item inside outer packaging (box) with additional honeycomb paper as void fill around it.
Pro tips
Unexpanded honeycomb provides minimal cushioning.
Tight wrapping conforms to the item shape for maximum protection.
Corners, rims, and handles get extra layers.
