Full details
This Hexcel Paper Wrap by Storepak is designed for individuals and businesses needing a sustainable and effective solution for protecting delicate or valuable items during shipping or storage. Its key benefit is the unique honeycomb structure that expands to create a strong, flexible cushioning, eliminating the need for tape. A minor consideration is that while it self-locks, heavier items might still benefit from additional securing methods for absolute peace of mind. This product offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional void fill and wrapping materials.

FAQs
How much protection does this paper offer?
The honeycomb structure provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, suitable for most fragile items. It's designed to conform to the shape of the object, offering effective protection against impacts during shipping and handling.
Do I really not need any tape?
The self-locking design of the honeycomb structure allows the paper to secure itself when tucked. For many items, no additional tape is required. However, for very heavy or valuable items, adding tape or stretch wrap is recommended for maximum security.
Is this paper recyclable?
Yes, the Hexcel Paper Wrap is made from 100% recycled paper and is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly packaging choice.
What are the dimensions of the roll?
The roll has a width of 390mm and a length of 50 meters. When stretched into its honeycomb form, it expands to cover an area equivalent to approximately 80 meters of linear wrap.
Can this be used for liquids or food?
This product is designed for protective wrapping of solid items and is not intended for direct contact with liquids or food products. It does not provide a liquid barrier.
How does it compare to bubble wrap?
Hexcel Paper Wrap offers a sustainable alternative to bubble wrap. It provides good cushioning and its self-locking feature can reduce the need for tape. Bubble wrap might offer superior puncture resistance for certain applications.
What is the weight of the roll?
The product information does not specify the exact weight of the roll, but it is a standard paper roll designed for ease of handling.
Troubleshooting
Paper not expanding into honeycomb structure.
Ensure you are pulling the paper sideways with consistent tension. If the paper seems stiff, it might have absorbed moisture; allow it to dry in a warm, dry place before attempting to stretch.
Self-locking feature not holding securely.
Try stretching the paper slightly more to create a tighter honeycomb. For heavier items, ensure the paper is wrapped snugly and consider tucking the ends more firmly, or use an additional securing method like tape or stretch wrap.
Paper tears easily.
You may be stretching the paper too thin or wrapping it around an object with sharp edges. Ensure the paper is stretched to form a robust honeycomb and consider adding an extra layer for more fragile items or those with points.

Care:
Store the roll in a dry environment away from moisture to maintain the paper's integrity. Keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent potential degradation of the material over long periods. As it is made of paper, it is susceptible to water damage. Clean any dust or debris from the unused portion of the roll with a dry cloth.
