Dunnage is an essential consideration when designing a safe load securement plan to keep your products in their best condition through transit, and it’s available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. This allows you to customize your support and achieve the best results for your unique products. The type of dunnage you choose will play a key role in your shipping system and determine the type of protection offered to your cargo. Though there are many options available, one rises above the rest due to its unique shape, performance, and functionality — honeycomb dunnage.
Honeycomb dunnage utilizes a six-sided, or hexagonal, design to get the rigidity and durability you demand while still remaining flexible and lightweight for enhanced shipping and storage benefits. This trusted dunnage was designed with the shape of a bee’s honeycomb in mind, lending it strategic properties that make it a top choice and the basis for many of our trusted corrugated products. Read on to learn more about it and explore the types of products you can leverage to upgrade your shipping experience and your results.
What is Honeycomb Dunnage?
As you plan out your ideal load securement approach, considering the right dunnage for your products is essential. Dunnage is comprised of a variety of customizable solutions that keep your products securely in place through transit, which helps to limit excess shifting. This includes void fill, air bags, and much more.
It’s available in many formats and materials, but honeycomb dunnage is a favored choice due to its unique shape and benefits. The materials are shaped in an arrangement of hexagons, modeling a bee’s honeycomb. This allows our products to be more lightweight without compromising the durability you demand to keep your products safe.
Composed of corrugated materials or kraft paper, it also allows you to leverage a more sustainable choice without compromising quality. When you’re seeking a lightweight, durable, and customizable approach to void fill and other dunnage solutions, choose honeycomb dunnage for top results.
3 Benefits of Honeycomb Dunnage
Why is honeycomb dunnage a top choice for void filler and other load securement supplies? Here are the top three reasons:
