Lightweight Honeycomb Boards and Panels

Rebul makes kraft and graphic honeycomb boards. We create these boards by shaping kraft paper. This process forms a series of triangular cells. The result is a strong paper honeycomb core. After that, the paper honeycomb core is laminated with kraft paper on both sides. Creating strong boards that can handle compressive, shear, and bending loads. These boards are up to 80% lighter than traditional materials.

Their strong crush to strength ratio makes the boards a cost-effective option. This is beneficial for designers, manufacturers, and board converters. You can learn more about this alternative. This is especially true when fiberglass, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), foam, and plywood boards are too expensive or heavy.

The boards are lightweight, versatile, and easy to work with. To practically fit any purpose, they can be bonded to a range of facing materials, painted, printed on, sized, cut, shaped, and bent. Can be easily cut using a knife, handsaw or electric saw, and CNC depending on desired use, capability, and application.

Common application and uses

All applications of honeycomb boards have acoustic and insulating properties and offer protection against impact. They can be printed, folded, and laminated. They can also be shaped, v-cut, double v-cut, and double folded. Additionally, they can be photo-mounted, painted, and vinyl-pressed.  Common uses include furniture manufacturing, construction, insulation, and partitioning. They also cover printing, packaging, corner protectors, 3D structures, and point-of-sale displays.

Their lightweight nature helps provide economic and performance benefits. They are used in RVs, boats, airplanes, and cars. This use does not compromise design or structural integrity.

Within our own facilities we use the boards to make recyclable and lightweight packaging solutions, including freight crates, interlock crates, hybrid crates, and pallets. These eco-friendly alternatives underscore our commitment to sustainable packaging practices using honeycomb paper and honeycomb paper products with various benefits.

We also assist with specific projects. If you ask, we can provide custom board lengths and thicknesses. This is subject to pricing and terms.

Recommended  Board storage and handling 

Small quantity orders are delivered upright. All large quantity orders will be delivered palletized for easy handling and storage.

They must be stored flat (horizontally), preferably in cooler conditions, away from direct sunlight or heat. The boards may warp. Do not use weight to prevent this. Allow the boards to warp and simply turn them and allow some time for them to return to original shape. Slight warping will occur as far down as 5 to 10 boards. For immediate use simply remove the top warped ones to access flat ones below them.
