High-volume, high-visibility
Appliances & white goods.
Large appliances are among the most demanding packaging applications in manufacturing. Heavy, finished surfaces, often irregular profiles, multi-modal distribution chains. Surface damage in transit is a leading cause of returns — and packaging cost is a significant line item for high-volume producers.
How it works
The full protection stack.
Appliances are expensive and highly visible at the point of sale. Surface damage — dents, scratches, creases — during transit is a leading cause of returns, replacements, and customer complaints. At the same time, packaging cost is a significant line item for high-volume producers. The packaging solution must perform reliably without adding unnecessary cost or complexity to the pack-out process.
Foam and wood-based alternatives present additional challenges: foam is difficult to dispose of and increasingly subject to sustainability scrutiny; wood requires treatment for export and presents splinter and nail hazards. Honeycomb addresses all of these constraints simultaneously.
Why it works
Reasons this combination wins.
Distributed-load performance
Honeycomb absorbs and spreads impact forces across a wide surface area, reducing point stress on finished surfaces.Fully customizable geometry
Corners, pads, and die-cut inserts produced to your exact product dimensions — no compromise.Clean and safe
No foam residue, no nails, no splinters. Safe for finished surfaces and disposal in standard recycling streams.Sustainability story
98% recycled fibre, 100% recyclable. Aligns with retailer mandates and ESG reporting requirements.
Products we supply
Three products. One complete package.
Corners & Edge Protectors
90° honeycomb corner sections placed along vertical edges and horizontal faces of appliances. Absorb lateral impact and isolate finished surfaces from corrugated contact.- Custom lengths per appliance
- Optional PSA inner face
- Pairs with face pads
Top & Bottom Pads
Flat honeycomb panels protecting the top and bottom faces of appliances from stacking loads and vertical handling impacts. Cell size and thickness selected to match the compressive requirements of stacking configurations.
Custom Die-Cut Inserts
Shaped honeycomb pads engineered to the specific geometry of the product — protecting irregular surfaces, recesses, and protrusions that flat pads cannot cover.- Steel rule die · custom geometry
- Repeatable at volume
- Prototype validation available
Applications
Application Examples
Air Conditioning Units
Corner and edge protection for window and split A/C units. Custom pads sized to the unit footprint — protecting fins, covers, and refrigerant connections during shipping and installation.Hot Tubs & Spas
Large-format flat pads and corner sections for protecting cabinet and shell surfaces of hot tubs during transport. Lightweight relative to the product weight; disposable at the point of delivery.Refrigerators & Freezers
Edge rails and corner protectors for tall, finished-surface appliances. Sized to full cabinet height; protects door faces and cabinet edges from the most common handling impact points.Washing Machines & Dryers
Corner and face pads for front-load and top-load units — protecting door glass, control panels, and cabinet surfaces from impact and abrasion during distribution.Dishwashers
Custom corner and pad configurations protecting stainless and panel-ready door faces and control panels through the retail distribution chain.Batteries & Energy Storage
Custom die-cut and layered pads for protecting large format batteries and energy storage units where weight is a constraint and non-conductive, recyclable materials are preferred.Need an application-specific honeycomb solution?
