Hexagonal · 10 mm Flat-Top

About Hexagonal · 10 mm Flat-Top

A bolder flat-top hexagonal grid at 10 mm pitch - generous enough to write game-token labels inside each cell or sketch a complete molecule per hex. Further reading: A practitioner reading list covers the standards lineage in more depth.

Standards lineage

Hexagonal lattice convention used in IUPAC chemistry nomenclature.

A short history

Larger hex paper became standard in the 1980s when wargame publishers like SPI shipped pre-printed hex maps with their boxed sets.

Where designers reach for it

• Tabletop role-playing game maps
• Educational chemistry diagrams
• Hexagonal tile-floor pattern design
• Cellular-automata visualisations

Printing this grid

Every variant on this page is delivered as a vector SVG with physical millimetre dimensions baked into the file, so a compliant printer driver will reproduce it at exact 1:1 scale by default. Choose the sheet size that matches your printer tray, set scaling to 100 % (never "fit to page"), and verify with the calibration check on our how-to-print guide. Buyer's guide: Comparing the major architectural scale rulers can help you pick the right physical scale rule to use over the printed grid.
