Boxes · Kraft
Natural brown board for brands that want an uncoated, honest look. Tuck-top cartons, mailers and printed kraft, cut to your size and made from 100 pcs.
Kraft styles
The same board, four different builds — the choice depends on how the box opens, how it travels and whether it is seen on a shelf.
One-piece folding carton with a tuck-in lid. Ships flat, assembles by hand.
Self-locking mailer built for e-commerce shipping.
Folding carton from kraft board, printed and glued. Ships flat and pops into shape.
A lid and a tray from the same board. Holds a heavier item without an inner sleeve.
Why kraft
Uncoated brown board shows fibre and texture, so it reads as material rather than print. Nothing is laminated over it.
A single dark ink carries a logo without hiding the board. Deep navy, black and white hold up best; pale yellow and light green disappear into the brown.
A kraft tuck-top is a retail box. For transit we build kraft mailers with an E-flute layer, or pack the retail box inside an outer carton.
Where kraft stops
Kraft is the right board for a lot of work and the wrong one for some. It is cheaper to say which before you approve a sample.
Brown is not a neutral base. A pale or saturated colour printed on kraft shifts darker and warmer, so a brand colour that matches on white will not match here. Pantone on kraft is matched to the board, not to the swatch book.
Recycled and natural fibres vary between batches, so the shade moves slightly from run to run. If two parts of a set have to match exactly, print them on the same sheet.
A matte or soft-touch film gives kraft a premium feel and a plastic layer at the same time. Choosing kraft for the material usually means leaving the film off.
Uncoated board absorbs ink, so hairlines and reverse-out type below about 6 pt fill in. Bold marks and solid shapes are what kraft prints well.
