How It Compares

Hexagonal paper cannot be used for standard mathematical graphing. It is purpose-built for tabletop game design, biology diagrams, and tessellation art. For math or engineering, use square grid paper instead.

Printing Tip

Always print at 100% scale (Actual Size) — never use "Fit to Page" as this will distort the grid dimensions and the squares will no longer measure correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our small hex paper uses 6mm circumradius hexagons compared to the 10mm standard size, fitting roughly 2.8× more hexagons per page. The finer grid is ideal when you need higher map resolution for detailed dungeon layouts, city maps, or molecular structure diagrams in chemistry.

Hex grid paper is used for tabletop RPGs (D&D, Pathfinder), wargames (like Axis & Allies and hex-and-counter wargames), hex strategy games (Civilization-inspired designs), and board game prototyping. The 6mm small hex is favored for large-scale maps where each hex represents a larger area and you need more hexes to fill the play space.

Yes. Chemists and chemistry students use hex paper to sketch benzene rings and other aromatic structures. The hexagonal grid provides accurate 120° bond angles for drawing conjugated systems, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and carbon nanostructure diagrams.
