Dongguan Honeycomb Makers Quote Firmer Pads as Appliance Exporters Cut Foam Share
Honeycomb and transport-pack plants in Dongguan—including Dongguan Lihong Packaging peers—see stronger pad and void-fill enquiries as brands trial paper-based protection.
Honeycomb pad and panel converters in Dongguan say appliance and furniture exporters are pulling forward paper void-fill trials to cut PE foam share ahead of autumn sailings.
Suppliers in the Dongguan Lihong Packaging cluster note that core-paper moves and adhesive pairing still drive quote validity; cube efficiency and abrasion on coated parts remain the main trial failure modes.
Why buyers care: a plastic-reduction claim that raises damage rates costs more than the foam saved.
Buyer takeaways
Define which plastics are banned versus reduced before changing the BOM.
Fund drop/vibration tests before deleting foam at scratch-critical points.
