Eco-conscious protection
Flexi-Hex™ Large Sleeves provide plastic-free protective packaging for large, awkward or high-value items in transit. Made from brown kraft paper with an expandable honeycomb construction, the sleeve moulds around products such as TV and computer screens, surfboards, furniture and homewares to reduce movement and breakage. Manufactured from 100% recycled paper and FSC certified, it's biodegradable and recyclable. Available in Mid and XL sizes, expanding from 800mm to 1100mm wide.
Sold in packs, priced per sleeve.
Where do Flexi-Hex™ Large Sleeves work best?
Flexi hex sleeves suit packing benches that handle fragile, awkward or high-value items and need plastic-free impact protection that adapts to different shapes.
- Protecting TV and computer screens where the expandable honeycomb kraft paper structure wraps around flat, delicate surfaces to reduce breakage in transit.
- Packing surfboards and long sports goods where the open-ended sleeve can be cut to the required length and sealed with paper tape.
- Shipping furniture components where the sleeve moulds around edges and corners to add cushioning without bulky plastic materials.
- Preparing homewares for e-commerce despatch where the brown kraft finish gives a neat unboxing experience while keeping protection compact at the packing station.
Not for
- Bottles that need a complete box and sleeve system. Choose Flexi-Hex™ bottle box and sleeve kits for secure bottle packaging.
- Products wider than 1100 mm once packed. Select a larger protective packaging format from protective packaging for oversized items.
- Packing that requires waterproof protection. Use a suitable outer carton, wrap or protective cover where exposure to moisture is expected.

Product FAQs
Can the sleeve be trimmed to fit the product?
Yes. The open-ended design lets you cut the sleeve to the required length, then secure it with paper tape around the packed item.
What makes the honeycomb structure useful for fragile goods?
The paper cells expand around the product, so the sleeve conforms to edges, curves and flat surfaces rather than leaving large gaps inside the pack.
Is this sleeve suitable for businesses reducing plastic packaging?
Yes. It uses 100% recycled kraft paper, contains no plastic, and is biodegradable and recyclable.
How should I choose between Mid and XL?
Select the size by the width needed once the sleeve has expanded around the product: Mid up to 800 mm and XL up to 1100 mm.
Is an outer box still needed?
For carrier shipments, use an outer carton where the product needs crush resistance, stacking strength or a complete despatch pack. The sleeve provides protective cushioning around the item.
