Sustainability credentials
Electronics packaging is under growing scrutiny from retailers, consumers and regulators, and switching from plastics to paper is a visible way to improve your footprint. Flexi-Hex sleeves are made from recycled paper and are plastic-free, kerbside recyclable, biodegradable and home compostable, breaking down in weeks rather than years.
Supports brand ESG targets and retailer packaging guidelines.
Easy for customers to recycle in existing paper streams, no specialist facilities required.
Helps reduce reliance on mixed-material packaging that is difficult to recover and often landfilled.
Proven performance
Globally, Flexi-Hex has sold over 12 million sleeves, preventing the equivalent of more than 4,000 km of plastic packaging from being used. Brands in categories including electronics and tech accessories report reduced damages, smoother fulfilment and a more premium unboxing experience.
12 million sleeves supplied worldwide and counting.
600 Air sleeves per shipper carton, making replenishment and storage efficient for busy DCs.
Zero additional equipment needed to get started, making trials and phased rollouts simple.
Operational benefits
Beyond sustainability, Flexi-Hex is designed to make life easier for warehouse and operations teams. The sleeves slide over your product or inner carton and expand up to around 35 times their packed size, creating a snug, protective fit with minimal extra components.
Faster packing compared with wrapping layers of bubble or foam.
Fewer SKUs to order, store and train staff on, especially across broad device ranges.
No additional machinery or tooling required – sleeves work with your existing cartons and packing benches.
Why Flexi-Hex for electronics?
More electronics brands are scrutinising their packaging, looking to cut plastic without increasing damage rates or fulfilment complexity. Flexi-Hex uses a patented paper honeycomb structure that expands around the product, providing impact protection in a compact, easy-to-pack format.
Compact: Sleeves store flat and are far more space-efficient than bulky bubble wrap or pulp fitments, freeing up valuable warehouse space and reducing inbound freight.
Flexible: One sleeve can securely fit a range of SKUs, reducing the number of packaging lines and changeovers your team has to manage.
Strong: The honeycomb cells absorb shock, helping bring breakage rates close to zero when used correctly in transit packaging.
