Product Description
Plastic bubblewrap is SO last year! If you want a better packaging alternative that is recycled, recyclable, and compostable, then our HERO Hex Wrap is the perfect solution.
Hero Packaging's Honeycomb Hex Wrap (try saying that 5 times fast!) is completely renewable, because after use, it goes straight back into recycling or into your compost bin.
Our Hex Wrap is in natural brown and comes in 2 sizes:
- 100m long (150m when expanded) and
- 250m long (375m when expanded).
Main Features:
-
- It is recyclable and compostable
- Damage protection: Offers the same protection as bubble wrap but is environmentally friendly
- Sustainable design: Due to the easy recovery process of the Hero Hex Wrap, it can be reused over and over again, contributing to the environment and a circular economy
- Interlocking design: This unique honeycomb, expandable, interleaving structure is self-sufficient in design so less packing material is used for dispatching
- Quick packing time: Expect a 25-50% improvement on packing speed. Packers can also reduce their cycle times by wrapping multiple items together through bundling
- Save on storage space & costs: 1 roll of HERO Hex Wrap is equivalent to 20 rolls of bubble wrap
- Aesthetic appeal: Create a memorable unboxing experience with HERO Hex Wrap for your customers

Wrap FAQs
What is HERO Hex Wrap?
A honeycomb paper wrap that replaces plastic bubble wrap. The paper expands into an interlocking hex pattern that cushions and grips products, so less packing material is needed.
Is Hex Wrap recyclable?
Yes. It’s recyclable and compostable, so it can go in the recycling or compost bin after use. It can also be reused.
What sizes and colours are available?
| Product | Roll width | Length (flat / expanded) | Colours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hex Wrap | 50cm (40cm expanded) | 100m / 150m or 250m / 375m | Kraft Brown, White, Black |
| Hex Wrap Mini | 38cm | 100m or 250m | Kraft Brown |
All rolls have a 5cm core.
Does it protect as well as bubble wrap?
Hex Wrap offers the same protection as bubble wrap for most products. For very fragile items, combine it with a sturdy box.
Does it save storage space?
Yes. One roll of Hex Wrap is equivalent to around 20 rolls of bubble wrap.
What is the Compostable Pallet Wrap?
Hand pallet stretch wrap made by Great Wrap in Australia from compostable biopolymers. It grips and holds like conventional stretch wrap and is designed for heavy-duty palletising.
Is the pallet wrap certified compostable?
Yes, it’s certified to AS 4736 for commercial composting and breaks down within 180 days, leaving no toxins or microplastics.
What size is the pallet wrap?
500mm wide x 300m long x 10 microns thick, on a 2-inch core that fits standard pallet wrap dispensers. Sold in bundles of four rolls.
Why is the pallet wrap yellow?
It has a subtle transparent yellow tint from compostable plant fibres, so it’s easy to tell apart from conventional plastic wrap.
How should I store pallet wrap?
Keep it in a cool, dry place under 30°C, out of direct sunlight, and keep the box sealed until use. Unopened rolls last up to a year. Re-wrap pallets that have been stored for longer than six months before shipping.
