What is hex grid paper?

Hex grid paper covers the page with equal six-sided cells. Each cell connects naturally in six directions, making distance, adjacency, and movement easier to represent than on a square grid.

Use it for tabletop and strategy-game maps, terrain planning, chemistry ring sketches, route diagrams, mosaics, and repeating geometric patterns. Choose flat-top or pointy-top hexes to match your game system or drawing direction, then select a cell size that leaves enough room for labels and symbols.

Which paper size should I choose?

Check the size printed on your paper pack or shown in the printer tray. A4 is standard in most countries, while US Letter is standard in the United States and Canada. Choose a larger size only when your printer or print service supports it.

Which hex size should you choose?

The choices below explain what changes and when each option is useful. Make the actual selection in the download panel at the top of the page.

5mm

A 5mm hex grid fits more cells on each sheet for compact maps, dense diagrams, fine game planning, and technical layouts.

6mm

A 6mm hex grid balances cell count and writing room for general maps, tabletop planning, chemistry diagrams, and classroom activities.

10mm

A 10mm hex grid provides larger cells for labels, tokens, classroom demonstrations, encounter maps, and layouts that need more writing room.

Flat-top or pointy-top hexes?

The choices below explain what changes and when each option is useful. Make the actual selection in the download panel at the top of the page.

Flat Top

Flat-top hexes have horizontal upper and lower edges and form staggered columns across the page. Flat-top grids are a familiar choice for wide maps, board-game layouts, and routes that visually emphasize east-west movement.

Pointy Top

Pointy-top hexes have a vertex at the top and bottom and form staggered rows across the page. Pointy-top grids suit vertically organized maps, alternate game-board layouts, and routes that visually emphasize north-south movement.

What is hex grid paper used for?

Tabletop and game maps

Plan movement, terrain, encounters, and board layouts with six equal neighboring directions.

Chemistry and diagrams

Sketch ring structures, networks, tiling systems, and connected processes on a repeated hexagonal guide.

Patterns and spatial planning

Build mosaics, route maps, seating layouts, and geometric designs with consistent cells.
