Why so many small brands choose kraft

Kraft is paperboard or corrugated made from unbleached wood pulp, which gives it a warm brown color and good strength for its weight. Custom kraft boxes look simple and honest, which suits handmade, organic and minimalist brands. The same natural material can be used for retail cartons, shipping mailers, gift boxes and food carry-outs, so a whole product line can share one consistent look without heavy printing.

Choose the style by product. Tuck end cartons suit soap, cosmetics and supplements. Mailer boxes in kraft E-flute protect ecommerce orders. Two piece boxes create custom kraft boxes with lids for gifts and apparel. Gable and pillow boxes suit favors and bakery treats. A die-cut window shows off soap, candles or food, and paperboard inserts hold jars and bottles in place. Thickness is matched to the product weight.

Custom kraft boxes with logo printing look strongest with dark inks, white ink or metallic foil, because the brown base mutes pale colors. A single-color logo, a stamped-look illustration or a simple pattern fits the material. For brighter color, ask about a white kraft or a printed label. Our team will place your artwork on the dieline, and you approve a digital proof before production.

Options for custom kraft boxes

Box styles

Tuck end cartons, mailer boxes, two piece lid boxes, gable boxes, pillow boxes, sleeve boxes and display trays, all made from natural kraft board.

Board

Kraft paperboard for retail cartons and gift boxes, or kraft E-flute and B-flute corrugated for shipping, heavier products and stacking strength.

Printing

One- or two-color printing in black, white or deep brand colors reads cleanly on kraft. Ask about full-color printing for detailed artwork.

Finishes

Kraft is often left uncoated for a tactile feel. Foil stamping, embossing, debossing and white ink add contrast for premium product lines.

Windows and inserts

Add die-cut windows with or without clear film, plus kraft or paperboard inserts with cutouts that hold jars, bottles or soap bars securely.

Eco options

Unbleached kraft is paper-based and widely recyclable where facilities exist. Ask about recycled-content board, water-based inks and paper-only inserts. Kraft suits brands that want minimal print.

FAQ

Custom Kraft Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What are kraft boxes made of?

Kraft boxes are made from kraft paperboard or kraft corrugated board, produced from unbleached wood pulp. The natural brown color comes from skipping the bleaching step, and the long fibers give the board good strength for its weight.

Can I get custom kraft boxes with a window?

Yes. A die-cut window can be added to most kraft box styles, with or without a clear film patch. Windows are popular for soap, candles, baked goods and cosmetics, where customers like to see the product before buying.

Can kraft boxes be printed in color?

Yes, but the brown base darkens and warms every color, and light shades can disappear. Black, white and deep colors give the clearest result. For bright full-color designs, ask about white kraft board or a printed label.

Are kraft boxes recyclable?

Kraft boxes are paper-based and widely recyclable where paper recycling is available. Keeping the box uncoated, using water-based inks and choosing paper inserts makes the package simpler for customers to recycle with household paper. Local facilities differ, so recycling guidance on the box can help customers.

How do I get pricing for custom kraft boxes?
