Can hollow board be used as partition boards for luggage and bags? An analysis of five major application advantages and a customization guide.


Traditional materials for luggage dividers—such as EVA foam and wooden boards—are facing challenges in terms of environmental sustainability and functional enhancement. Meanwhile, hollow-core panels (also known as corrugated cardboard panels) have emerged as a new favorite thanks to their unique properties. This article analyzes the innovative application value of hollow-core panels in the luggage divider sector, drawing on empirical data and industry case studies.

I. The Five Core Advantages of Hollow Board Partitions

  1. Lightweight design

    • With a density of only 0.92 g/cm³, it’s 60% lighter than wood boards.

    • The total weight of the 28-inch suitcase’s partition can be kept within 300g.

  2. Anti-stress and anti-deformation

    • Honeycomb structure with a hollow-layer design achieves a vertical compressive strength of up to 150 kg/m².

    • Deformation rate after long-term load-bearing is less than 0.3% (compared to 5%-8% for conventional EVA foam).

  3. Waterproof and moisture-proof

    • Water absorption rate below 0.01%; no mold growth in humid environments.

    • Passes the 72-hour salt spray test, suitable for outdoor bags and luggage.

  4. Environmentally friendly and recyclable

    • 100% food-grade PP raw material, FDA-certified

    • Waste boards can be recycled and remade, with carbon emissions 78% lower than those of wood boards.

  5. Flexible customization

    • Customizable thickness from 2 to 10 mm, suitable for applications such as business bags and toolboxes.

    • The surface can be laminated and printed to visually display the brand’s logo.

Selection Guide: Match the Best Solution in 3 Steps

  1. Demand Diagnosis

    • Load-bearing requirements: Choose a 4mm board for loads ≤50kg, and a 6mm board for loads between 50-100kg.

    • Environmental requirements: For outdoor use, choose a waterproof model; for precision instruments, select an antistatic model.

  2. Cost accounting

    • Mold customization: Minimum order quantity is 1,000 pieces, with a unit price 15% higher than that of standard boards.

    • Bulk procurement: For orders exceeding 10,000 units, costs can be reduced to 80% of those for conventional materials.

  3. Certification Requirements

    • Exporting to the EU requires REACH certification.

    • For food contact products, an FDA testing report must be provided.
