- Description
Here comes our thinnest cardboard honeycomb board: Only 5mm thick and made from 100% recycled paper. This makes the lightweight and bend-resistant panel a plastic-free and more environmentally friendly alternative to the black Kapa Graph sandwich panel. With their matt black surfaces, they are well suited as presentation material or moderation wall, for example for workshops and exhibitions. Thanks to the thick cardboard cover, the honeycomb core does not show through when photos or plans are mounted. Counter-laminating is recommended, as with all thin boards, if you value absolute flatness of the board.
The core of the thin board consists of a hexagonal honeycomb structure. This ensures - just as with the thicker cardboard honeycomb panels - that the panel has a high bending stiffness despite its low weight and that the cover layers are protected against dents and damage. Both sides of the black cardboard honeycomb panel can be printed using UV direct printing in a flatbed printer. Cutting is possible with cutter, circular saw, jigsaw and fretsaw, but also with large cutting plotters.
Cardboard honeycomb panels consist of two cover layers and a core of upright cardboard webs. In the core, they differ fundamentally in the arrangement or structure of the connecting webs between the cover layers. The designations "Sinus" and "HoneyComb" are derived from this. In the case of the boards designated HoneyComb, the cardboard webs form a honeycomb structure in the core. In the case of the boards designated Sinus, the cardboard webs are in a corrugated form between the cover layers, comparable to the way they are located in corrugated board. More common are the cardboard honeycomb boards with the honeycomb core, hence the name "honeycomb cardboard". The panels with the corrugated core are more resilient, mainly because there are simply more webs between the cover layers. Thus, the core of the cardboard honeycomb panel Sinus is also somewhat heavier. In material development, the cardboard honeycomb panel is the constructive solution of an optimization process. The task of developing a panel with the highest possible load-bearing capacity using the least amount of material at the lowest possible cost led to this result. The panels are light, load-bearing and resistant to bending. In addition, the board can be completely recycled as paper waste after use without further separation.
The main areas of application for cardboard honeycomb panels are derived from the advantages presented. They are often used as a middle layer in sandwich panels. For this purpose, they are coated with any desired material on both sides. In this way, panels for door panels and furniture are produced. The purity of the material is lost, but furniture and doors are usually in use for a long time, so that sustainability is more a result of the life cycle and the low material input than of the sorted disposal and possible recycling. The other main application is protective packaging for medium-weight goods in transit. Furniture, for example, can be shipped very well in cardboard boxes in which it is protected by a piece of cardboard honeycomb panel in the crucial places (for example, at the edges). Even if the protection is damaged by external force, it does not completely lose its effect and the furniture arrives intact in most cases.
You can use cardboard honeycomb panels in the construction of fair and exhibition buildings, as well as in the construction of furniture and stages. They are also suitable as a light, mobile partition or presentation wall, for printing and as a painting surface. Please note that, depending on storage and transport, the sheets are usually not 100% flat. In order to print on them with plate printers or similar, the plates should be fixed beforehand.
