Testing the Strength and Stretch of Honeycomb Paper Packaging
Test honeycomb paper quality with these practical strength and expansion checks.
Practical tests
Testing methods0 / 4 checked
Quick answer
Test expansion rate, tear resistance, drop-test cushioning, and paper weight on samples before bulk ordering. Quality honeycomb paper expands to the specified width, resists tearing during normal wrapping, protects a fragile item in a 60cm drop test, and matches the stated GSM. If any test fails, the specification is insufficient for your needs or the quality is below standard.
Interpreting results
May need a different specification.
Upgrade to heavier paper.
Double-wrap or increase GSM.
Specs: specifications or cushioning science.
When to test
Every new supplier, every new specification, and spot-check ongoing deliveries. Test older stock if stored for 6+ months, as moisture absorption can affect paper strength.
