Kraft Boxes Questions
Answers to the 7 questions brands ask us most often about kraft boxes.
Is kraft paper actually more sustainable than white paper?+
Kraft requires less processing than bleached white paperboard so it has a smaller environmental footprint. Choose FSC certified kraft for a verified supply chain.
Can I print full color on kraft?+
Yes but the brown background changes the color. CMYK colors look muted on kraft. White ink is often added under colors to keep them bright.
Is kraft food safe?+
Yes when paired with food safe inks and coatings. Kraft is a popular choice for bakery, coffee, and tea packaging.
Does kraft hold up to moisture?+
Kraft absorbs moisture more readily than coated white board. Add aqueous coating or wax lining for moisture resistance.
What thickness of kraft should I use?+
18pt for small product boxes and mailers. 24pt for larger boxes and premium positioning. Corrugated kraft for shipping protection.
Can I get foil stamping on kraft?+
Yes. Gold and copper foil stamping looks especially striking on natural kraft.
What is the minimum order for kraft boxes?+
50 units for digital print runs. 500 units for offset print runs at the best per unit cost.
