GreenWrap - 19" x 750' (original) (raw)

What is GreenWrap?

GreenWrap is a paper-based protective packaging material that expands into a three-dimensional honeycomb structure to cushion and protect products during shipping. Made from die-cut kraft paper and tissue paper, it stretches as you pull it, forming a flexible, shock-absorbing wrap that conforms around your products.

Unlike plastic bubble wrap®, GreenWrap relies on paper structure, not trapped air, to provide protection. This creates a lightweight, plastic-free cushioning solution that performs well in transit while remaining easy for customers to recycle.

GreenWrap is commonly used to:

• Wrap fragile or breakable items
• Cushion and stabilize products inside shipping boxes
• Replace plastic bubble wrap® in eCommerce fulfillment
• Elevate presentation for premium, giftable, or brand-forward shipments

How do I use GreenWrap?

GreenWrap is designed for fast and intuitive packing. The built-in dispenser allows the paper to expand as it is pulled, forming a protective honeycomb structure without scissors or complicated setup.

Use GreenWrap to:

• Wrap individual products to provide surface protection
• Layer items inside a shipping box to reduce movement during transit
• Combine with tissue paper to enhance presentation and unboxing

What types of products work best with GreenWrap?

GreenWrap is a strong protective packaging option for fragile or easily scuffed items that need cushioning and surface protection during shipping.

It works especially well for:

• Glass bottles and jars
• Candles and ceramic items
• Skincare, beauty, and wellness products
• Home goods and giftable products

For heavier items or products with sharp edges, GreenWrap can be paired with additional protective packaging to improve performance and reduce the risk of damage.

How does GreenWrap compare to honeycomb packing paper or bubble wrap®?

GreenWrap is a type of honeycomb packing paper designed specifically for eCommerce shipping and presentation.

Compared to traditional honeycomb packing paper, GreenWrap:

• Includes a tissue paper layer that adds surface protection and improves presentation

For brands moving away from plastic packaging, GreenWrap delivers similar cushioning and protection with a significantly lower environmental impact.

Frequently asked questions

Is GreenWrap the same as honeycomb packing paper?

GreenWrap is a type of honeycomb packing paper engineered specifically for shipping and unboxing. It combines expandable honeycomb kraft paper with tissue paper to improve cushioning, surface protection, and presentation compared to standard honeycomb wrap.

Is GreenWrap recyclable?

Yes. GreenWrap is paper-based and can be recycled with mixed paper in most curbside recycling programs, as long as it is clean and dry.

Is GreenWrap biodegradable?

GreenWrap is made from paper, which will biodegrade over time. However, recycling is generally the preferred option when available, since it keeps materials in use longer and reduces demand for virgin resources.

Can GreenWrap fully replace bubble wrap®?

In many eCommerce applications, yes. GreenWrap provides surface protection, shock absorption, and product stabilization similar to bubble wrap. For extremely heavy or high risk items, pairing GreenWrap with additional protective packaging may be appropriate.

Does GreenWrap take up less storage space than bubble wrap®?

Yes. GreenWrap ships flat and expands only when used, which helps reduce storage space compared to bulky rolls of plastic bubble wrap®.

How does this expandable honeycomb paper compare to other EcoEnclose void fill options?

EcoEnclose offers a suite of sustainable, eco-friendlier void fill and cushioning products, each serving a unique purpose. For example, our SpiroPak and Ornament Shred work beautifully when creating a nest or cushion in a box. Likewise, packaging paper is great as dunnage.
