100% recyclable
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
High Strength & Durability

Overview

Kraft paper is renowned for its strength and eco-friendly qualities, being produced through a chemical process called “kraft pulping” that results in long, tough fibers.

This method gives the paper exceptional durability, making it highly suitable for packaging, crafts, and various industrial applications.

Its natural brown look, combined with excellent tear resistance and biodegradability, makes it an appealing choice for businesses and consumers seeking sustainable solutions.

The material is available in both bleached and unbleached versions, with some options treated with wax coatings to enhance waterproofing.

As environmental awareness grows, this type of paper has become increasingly popular across industries due to its excellent recyclability and versatility.

Kraft Color Variance

The color differences of Kraft paper mainly depend on its manufacturing process and the treatment of raw materials. Here are several common colors:

Natural Brown Kraft
This is the most common Kraft paper color, made from unbleached wood fibers, retaining the natural brown color of the pulp. This color is environmentally friendly and has a rough texture, and is often used in environmentally friendly packaging.
White Kraft
White Kraft is bleached Kraft paper, which has a cleaner and more refined appearance. Suitable for packaging that requires a high-end feel or fresh design, such as food packaging or luxury packaging.
Black Kraft
Black Craft paper is dyed or coated paper, which provides a higher visual impact and is often used in high-end product packaging to enhance the brand image.
Bleached Kraft
This paper is obtained by complete bleaching, and the color is whiter, but it may be less strong than natural brown Kraft paper. It is mainly used for printing fine patterns or packaging that requires a pure white background.
Custom Colored Kraft
Kraft paper can also be dyed in other colors to meet the needs of different brands. Common custom colors include red, blue, green, etc., suitable for specially designed packaging solutions.
