Core Features
Flexi-Hex® Lite is a robust, heavy-weight paper sleeve made from an expandable honeycomb material. The innovative hexagonal cell structure not only provides incredible surfboard protection for boards in transit, it also creates a sleeve that is extremely flexible. In its natural state the sleeve is compact, however when fitted around a board, the sleeve expands open and takes on the form of the product within.
Due to the sleeves being open-ended, multiple sleeves can be cut to size and joined at the seam using paper tape, therefore creating a simple packaging solution that will protect boards of different lengths. It’s quick and easy to use, saving both time and money compared to traditional packing methods and most importantly, it’s 100% plastic free.

With current surfboard packaging times between 15-20 minutes, Flexi-Hex takes less than 6. We like those numbers.
