Honeycomb insulated boxes — sustainable cardboard with excellent insulation

A cardboard honeycomb insulated box has several advantages over traditional insulated boxes. The honeycomb design offers excellent insulation through air channels in the structure, keeping the temperature in the box stable for longer. This is especially important when transporting temperature-sensitive products such as food, medicines and flowers.

In addition, the honeycomb structure also offers a high degree of protection against knocks, shocks and compression. The cardboard absorbs impact energy and distributes it evenly across the structure, so the contents of the box are better protected during transport.

Excellent insulation

The honeycomb design creates air channels in the honeycomb structure that act as a buffer against heat transfer. This keeps the temperature in the box stable for longer — essential for temperature-sensitive products.

Protection against knocks and compression

The honeycomb structure offers a high degree of protection against knocks, shocks and compression. The cardboard absorbs impact energy and distributes it evenly, so the contents are better protected during transport.

100% environmentally friendly and recyclable

Our honeycomb insulated boxes are made of recycled cardboard and are biodegradable. They form a sustainable alternative to packaging materials such as EPS or plastic. A European patent has been obtained for the use of the cardboard fibres as insulation material.

Lightweight and cost-saving

Cardboard honeycomb insulated boxes are light in weight, which reduces transport and shipping costs. This is a major advantage especially for air or international shipments, where weight plays an important role in the cost calculation.

Adaptable and reusable

These insulated boxes can be adapted to different shapes and sizes of products. The honeycomb design can easily be cut and shaped. Although not as durable as reusable plastic boxes, they can still be used several times before they need to be recycled.

Technical specifications

Moisture regulation: minimum 8.8%. Thermal conductivity coefficient: λ = 0.036 W/(m·K). Specific heat: 2020 J/kg.

For which sectors?

Honeycomb insulated boxes are used by companies that want to carry out controlled-temperature transport while also promoting sustainability. Common applications: fresh e-commerce, meal kits, flowers, pharmaceutical distribution and organic food products.

Frequently asked questions

Are honeycomb cooler boxes biodegradable?
Yes, our honeycomb cooling boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard and are fully biodegradable. After use, they can be disposed of with waste paper.
How long does the contents stay cool?
The cooling duration depends on the outside temperature, the use of gel packs or ice packs, and the type of product. In combination with 1–2 gel packs, products generally remain at the desired temperature for 24–48 hours.
Are they suitable for frozen products?
Yes, when combined with dry ice or multiple ice packs, honeycomb insulated boxes are suitable for frozen transport for up to approximately 24 hours.
Can I reuse them?
Yes, honeycomb cooler boxes can be used multiple times before they need to be recycled — provided they remain clean and dry.
