Honeycomb panels are lighter than ACPs because their core is made of aluminum honeycomb, which is lighter than the plastic core of an ACP. Honeycomb panels are available in 12 mm and 25 mm thicknesses, while ACPs are available in 3 mm to 8 mm thicknesses.

Honeycomb panels have a honeycomb core inspired by the natural hexagonal honeycomb structure. ACPs have a non-aluminum core made of polyethylene or a mix of polyethylene and fire-resistant mineral filler.

Honeycomb panels are used in a variety of industrial applications, including transport and architecture. ACPs are known for their durability and lightweight nature, and their smooth, flat surface is ideal for high-quality prints.
