Custom Kraft Paper Boxes Packaging

Unbleached kraft board retains the natural brown colour of the wood pulp it is made from — it produces the familiar warm, earthy aesthetic that artisan, natural, and eco-aligned brands use deliberately as a visual signal. Bleached kraft is processed to a white or light cream surface while maintaining the structural and sustainability characteristics of kraft board — it provides a cleaner printing surface for brands that want to print full-colour artwork accurately on a kraft substrate. Both are available in FSC-certified grades for our Custom Kraft Paper Boxes range.

Yes. Full-colour CMYK printing is available on both unbleached and bleached kraft variants. The natural warm tone of unbleached kraft shifts printed colours slightly warm — blues print with a green cast, whites are not achievable. This is a characteristic that many brands intentionally embrace because it contributes to an authentic, artisan print aesthetic. Bleached kraft produces more accurate colour reproduction, making it the better choice for brands that need to match specific brand colours precisely. Our design team will advise on colour adjustments for unbleached kraft artwork before printing.

FSC-certified kraft board is available in food-safe grades suitable for use with dry food products, baked goods, and packaged foods. Direct contact food applications require food-safe interior liners and food-safe adhesive formulations — these are available for all kraft food packaging configurations. If your Custom Kraft Paper Boxes will be in direct contact with food, advise our team at the quoting stage so the correct food-contact certified materials are specified from the outset.

No minimum order quantity. We produce Custom Kraft Paper Boxes in quantities from a single prototype through to high-volume wholesale runs. Pricing scales with quantity — every quote includes a tiered breakdown across multiple quantity levels so you can choose the run size that best balances per-unit cost with your current demand.

Our FSC-certified kraft board carries Forest Stewardship Council chain-of-custody certification, which confirms that the wood pulp used in the board originates from responsibly managed forests. Soy-based inks are used as standard on kraft variants — these produce lower VOC emissions than petroleum-based inks and are compostable alongside the packaging itself. If your brand makes specific sustainability claims about your packaging, our team can provide the relevant material certification documentation.

Kraft board accepts matte aqueous coating (the most common finish — provides a light protective layer while maintaining the natural hand feel of the kraft surface), spot UV on bleached kraft variants, and hot foil stamping in gold, copper, silver, and custom colours. Gloss lamination on unbleached kraft is technically possible but typically not specified because it conflicts with the natural aesthetic the material is chosen for. Embossing and debossing are available for brand marks.

Standard production is 7–14 business days from artwork approval. Express production (4–7 business days) is available on request — confirm express availability with our team before submitting your order. The pre-production design process typically takes 3–5 business days from brief confirmation.

All dimensions are fully custom. We do not operate a standard size catalogue — your Custom Kraft Paper Boxes are produced to the exact internal or external measurements your product requires. If you are unsure of the right box dimensions for your product, share the product's measurements and our team will recommend the optimal packaging size based on the product dimensions, any required insert or padding, and the structural format of the box.
