Looking for a different type of printable graph paper?

Our versatile hexagonal graph paper provides neatly tiling hexagon grids making it useful for designing seamless patterns, gaming maps, molecular models, beehives, and origami bases. The evenly-spaced hexagons allow optimized tessellation-based designs. This makes our printable hex paper suitable for graphic artists, game developers, chemists, beekeepers, origamists, and other creators working with hexagonal elements. With standard paper sizes compatible with all printers, our hexagonal graph paper can be adapted to a multitude of repeating hexagonal pattern needs ranging from textile motifs to RPG gaming grids.

When is Hexagonal Graph Paper Most Useful?

Hexagonal graph paper, also known as honeycomb paper, features a grid of hexagons instead of squares. This unique structure makes hex paper useful for certain applications where hexagons are more optimal than square grids. Some key uses of hexagonal graph paper include:

Designing Tiled Patterns

The tiling property of hexagons allows seamless pattern design. Graphic artists, web designers, architects, and others use hex paper when planning tile motifs like wallpapers, landscapes, textile designs, and modular components that neatly repeat.

Gaming Maps and Tiles

Game designers, RPG game masters, and hobbyists use hex paper for mapping gaming worlds, battle grids, and modular tile sets. The hex grid suits games played on tiled maps like Settlers of Catan, Warhammer, and roleplaying dungeon crawls.

Chemistry and Molecular Modeling

Chemists utilize hex graph paper when modeling molecular structures, crystal lattices, benzene rings, and modeling organic compounds where hexagonal shapes represent atomic arrangements.

Beekeeping Planning

Beekeepers can map out honeycomb hive construction and arrangements on hex paper since real honeycomb consists of tessellating hexagons. This allows optimization of hive dimensions and honey production.

Origami Design

Modular origami bases made from equilateral triangles and hex folding patterns are easily planned out on hexagonal graph paper since the folding geometry matches the hex grid.

In summary, hexagonal graph paper works well for any design involving tessellations, grids, networks, games, and structures with hexagonal units such as patterns, molecules, beehives, and origami models. The evenly-spaced hexagons tile seamlessly in the plane.

Our Hexagonal Graph Paper is Available in the Following Page Sizes:

  • Letter: The most common paper size in North America at 8.5" x 11", letter size is widely used for documents, letters, assignments, and office printing.

  • A4: A4 size paper is a standard paper size used in most countries outside of North America that measures 210 millimeters by 297 millimeters (approximately 8.27 inches by 11.69 inches). It is commonly used for everyday purposes like printing, photocopying, and writing documents in office and academic settings across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other regions

  • A2: At 420mm x 594mm, A2 is a large paper format associated with technical drawings, engineering, architecture, and poster printing.

  • Tabloid: Tabloid at 11" x 17" is larger than letter but smaller than ledger, often used for newspapers, newsletters, catalogs, and lightweight posters.

  • Legal: Legal at 8.5" x 14" provides more writing space than letter size and is the standard for legal documents, contracts, and government forms in the US.

  • Poster: Our poster size of 24" x 36" provides a spacious area well-suited for conference posters, retail displays, school projects, and advertising posters.

  • Movie Poster: At 27" x 40", movie poster size is the standard for promotional movie posters in theaters, with ample vertical space for eye-catching graphics.
