We consider structure constants of single trace operators in planar $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory within the hexagon framework. The standard procedure for forming a three point function out of two hexagons develops divergences when the effects of virtual particles wrapping around the operators are taken into account. In this paper, we explain how to renormalize these divergences away and obtain definite predictions, at the leading wrapping order, for some of the structure constants that parameterize the OPE of two chiral primaries. We test our method at weak coupling against the four loop planar correction to the BPS-BPS-Konishi OPE coefficient, derived recently in the field theory. At strong coupling, we compare our expressions with the structure constants obtained in string theory for three semiclassical strings.
