About the hexagonal graph paper
Hex paper tiles the page with regular hexagons instead of squares. Because each hexagon touches six neighbours at equal distances, it is the standard grid for tabletop and strategy game maps, and it is the natural sheet for drawing organic chemistry ring structures. In maths it is a neat way to explore tessellation and symmetry.
Frequently asked questions
What is hexagonal graph paper used for?
Game maps, tessellation and symmetry work, quilt and tile design, and drawing benzene rings and other structures in organic chemistry.
Why do hexagons tile so well?
Regular hexagons fill a plane with no gaps and give every cell six equidistant neighbours, which is why they appear in honeycomb and in map grids.
Is it free?
Yes — free to print or download as a PDF or PNG, with no sign-up.
