Flexi-Hex is an innovative new sustainable packaging system for Consumer Electronics created in response to the increasing number of e-commerce direct-to-consumer sales and the demand by Consumer Electronic companies to improve their environmental credentials by going 'plastic free' in terms of packaging. Flexi-Hex is made from recycled paper and cardboard yet is surprisingly strong and durable. The unique honeycomb design gives the packaging high compression resistance and the unique cellular structure of Flexi-Hex allows flexibility to fit irregular shapes and sizes. The honeycomb geometry is unique in that it expands to create a sleeve 35 times wider than its compressed form. Flexi-hex is also lightweight and in its compressed form takes up little storage space. The system's flexibility is pragmatic for compact lightweight portability. With public awareness around single-use plastics and the devastating effect on the marine environment at an all time high, developing a sustainable plastic free packaging system for Consumer Electronics will offer a solution to reduce the considerable amount of plastic waste companies generate and so can significantly reduce their environmental footprint.Flexi-Hex has already developed a packaging solution for Bottles which is in operation today with many leading drinks suppliers and wholesalers.

Flexi-Hex 是一种创新的可持续消费电子产品包装系统，旨在满足越来越多的电子商务直接面向消费者的销售以及消费电子产品公司通过在包装方面实现“无塑料”来提高其环境信誉的需求。 Flexi-Hex 由再生纸和纸板制成，但坚固耐用。独特的蜂窝设计赋予包装高抗压性，Flexi-Hex 独特的蜂窝结构允许灵活地适应不规则的形状和尺寸。蜂窝几何形状的独特之处在于，它可以扩展形成比压缩形式宽 35 倍的套筒。 Flexi-hex 重量轻，压缩形式只占用很少的存储空间。该系统的灵活性非常实用，适合紧凑、轻便的便携性。随着公众对一次性塑料及其对海洋环境的破坏性影响的认识空前高涨，为消费电子产品开发可持续的无塑料包装系统将为减少公司产生的大量塑料废物提供解决方案，从而显着减少其对环境的影响。Flexi-Hex 已经开发了一种瓶子包装解决方案，目前已与许多领先的饮料供应商和批发商合作使用。
