Kraft Boxes
With its visible paper texture and naturally understated appearance, kraft packaging gives printed designs a different character from smooth coated paper. Custom kraft boxes can be produced in folding or corrugated structures according to the required strength and packing method. Printing can remain simple to preserve the natural surface or be combined with selected finishing details for a more distinctive result.
Different folding structures affect how the box is assembled, opened, and displayed. The right format can be selected according to the packing method and the level of support required.
Tuck End Kraft Box Tuck flaps create a straightforward folding structure that is easy to assemble before packing. The natural kraft surface keeps the box lightweight while leaving enough space for printed branding. |
Tuck End Kraft Box with Hang Tab An integrated hang tab allows the package to be displayed vertically on retail hooks without adding a separate hanging component. The tuck-end construction keeps the overall structure compact. |
Sliding Drawer Kraft Box An inner kraft tray slides from the surrounding sleeve to create a layered opening effect. A finger notch or ribbon pull can be added when easier opening is required. |
Gable Kraft Box with Auto Bottom The upper panels form a built-in carrying handle, while the auto-lock base provides a stable bottom after assembly. This structure combines carrying and packaging functions in one foldable box. |
Kraft Mailer Box A corrugated kraft structure provides stronger support during handling and closes with integrated locking tabs. It can be supplied flat and assembled without separate adhesive during normal packing. |
Selected finishing techniques can add contrast and texture to the natural kraft surface while keeping the character of the paper visible.
Laser Foil Stamping A precise foil effect can be applied to detailed artwork or selected decorative areas, creating a sharper metallic finish with strong visual contrast. |
Spot UV A clear gloss coating is applied to selected areas of the artwork, creating contrast against the matte kraft surface. |
Foil Stamping Metallic foil highlights specific details such as logos or lettering and creates a reflective effect on the box surface. |
Embossing Selected artwork is raised above the paper surface to create visible depth and a tactile detail. |
Debossing The design is pressed into the kraft paper to form a clean recessed impression without adding extra color. |
The kraft paper selected for the box affects both the printed result and the firmness of the finished structure. Different surface colors can be combined with an appropriate paper weight according to the box size and packing requirements.
Brown kraft keeps the natural fiber tone visible and gives the box a warm, understated appearance. Dark graphics and white ink usually create the clearest contrast on this surface.
White kraft provides a brighter printing base, making it easier to reproduce colorful artwork with cleaner contrast. It is a good choice when you want the strength of kraft paper without the natural brown background affecting the design.
Black kraft creates a strong dark base for simple, high-contrast artwork. White ink and foil details stand out clearly against the surface, making it suitable for packaging that relies on a bold and minimal visual style.
Common kraft paper weights include 150gsm, 200gsm, 250gsm, 300gsm, 350gsm, and 400gsm. The suitable weight depends on the box size and structure: lighter paper works for smaller folding boxes, while heavier stocks provide better stiffness for larger packaging or products that need more support.

Practical additions can improve product support and make kraft packaging easier to display or carry. These details can be adapted to the selected box structure without taking away from the natural paper appearance.
Custom Inserts
A fitted insert helps keep the contents organized and reduces movement inside the box. Paperboard inserts work especially well when you want the interior to remain consistent with the kraft packaging style.
Die-Cut Windows
A custom cutout reveals part of the product before the box is opened. Clear film can also be added behind the opening when the contents need additional protection.
Carry Handles
Integrated handles make larger kraft boxes easier to carry after packing. Die-cut, rope, or ribbon options can be selected according to the box structure and required appearance.
