Why Choose Kraft Boxes?

Kraft boxes are the reliable friend your products need. They're made from natural brown paperboard that gives them a clean, honest look customers love. This earthy tone fits almost any product like a glove.

These boxes are tough cookies. They don't crumble, bend, or fall apart like cheap alternatives you might find elsewhere. Your items arrive safe and looking great every time.

The material breaks down naturally and recycles easily, so your customers can toss it in the bin without any guilt. That natural brown color also hides scuffs and fingerprints that happen during transit. Your boxes look fresh even after a bumpy ride through the mail system.

Works great with soap, candles, food, cosmetics, jewelry, and clothing brands. Black ink pops on kraft, and colors stand out beautifully against the brown surface. Think of it as a canvas that makes your brand shine.

Kraft Box Packaging Materials and Board Strength Options

What Kraft Paper Grade Works Best for Your Product?

Kraft board comes in different weights measured in points. Think of points as a super tiny measurement where bigger numbers mean thicker, stronger boards. Thicker boards handle rough shipping better and protect heavier products. Most small items work great with 18pt or 20pt kraft, while chunky products need 24pt or corrugated for extra muscle.

Here's what we offer for different product weights:

• 18pt kraft: Perfect for light stuff like jewelry, small cosmetics, or accessories
• 20pt kraft: Great for medium-weight items like candles, soaps, or food boxes
• 24pt kraft: Best for heavier products that need extra stiffness and protection

For shipping cartons, we use corrugated kraft. Picture a sandwich with wavy cardboard in the middle. This setup takes the bumps so your product doesn't get hurt.

Corrugated comes in different wavy sizes based on how much padding you need. E-flute is thin but surprisingly strong for lighter items. B-flute adds more cushion for breakable products that need extra care.

Custom Printing Options for Kraft Packaging

Your box is a tiny billboard that tells customers who you are before they even open it. Here's how we make your brand pop on kraft's natural brown surface.

Single-Color Printing

Black ink on brown kraft is a match made in heaven. It's clean, professional, and easy on your wallet. Many brands pick this look because simple often wins the race.

You can also choose one spot color instead of black. Your logo in navy, forest green, burgundy, or another brand color looks sharp against the natural kraft tone.

Full-Color Printing (CMYK)

Want photos, gradients, or designs with lots of colors? Full-color printing handles it all with sharp results. We print directly on the kraft surface for a smooth look.

Colors look a bit different on brown kraft than on white paperboard. We'll send a proof so you see exactly what to expect before we start. No guessing games or ugly surprises when boxes arrive.

Inside Printing

The inside of your box matters too because it's part of the unboxing fun. Add a thank-you message, care tips, social media handles, or a surprise pattern. It's a small touch that makes customers smile.

Inside printing costs more but creates moments customers want to share online. Worth every penny for brands that want to stand out from the crowd.

Printing options include 1-color, 2-color, and full CMYK]

Kraft Box Finishes and Coating Options

Printing is just one piece of the puzzle when creating packaging that sticks in people's minds. Finishes add texture, protection, and that special something customers notice right away.

Matte Finish

Matte feels soft and modern in your customer's hands. It cuts glare so your design looks crisp in photos for social media and product listings. Great for brands going for a quiet, classy vibe.

Gloss Finish

Gloss makes colors pop and adds shine that catches light in stores. Pick this when you want your box to stand out on a packed retail shelf. Also guards against minor scratches.

Soft-Touch Coating

This is the fancy option that makes people say "ooh" when they hold your box. Soft-touch feels like velvet against your fingers. Customers notice the second they pick up the package. It's a texture they won't forget anytime soon.

Foil Stamping

Want something extra special for your logo or brand name? Foil adds metallic shine in gold, silver, rose gold, or copper. Catches the eye right away and tells customers this is the good stuff.

Foil works best as an accent on small elements rather than covering big areas. A logo or a single word makes the biggest splash without looking too busy.

How Do You Pick the Right Kraft Box Size?

A box that's too big wastes money on materials and bumps up your shipping costs for no reason. A box that's too small squishes your product or forces awkward folding that damages items inside. The sweet spot is about half an inch of space around your product for padding or inserts that protect during shipping.

Measure your product carefully, including length, width, and height. Add a little extra room for padding, tissue paper, or thank-you cards you might toss in.

We offer standard sizes that work for most common products out there. Custom sizes fit your exact product like a glove and cost a bit more upfront. But they save you money on filler materials down the road.

Inserts and Padding

Glass bottles, electronics, and delicate cosmetics can break if they bounce around inside a box. Some products just need backup to stay safe during shipping. We design inserts that fix this problem completely.

Here's what we offer for different product types:

• Cardboard inserts: Lock products in place during transit
• Foam padding: Soaks up bumps during shipping and handling
• Tissue paper slots: Keep items wrapped and looking pretty when they arrive
• Dividers: Keep multiple items in one box neat and tidy

Tell us what you're shipping. We'll design inserts that fit your products just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Minimum Order for Kraft Boxes?

We start at just 100 boxes, which works great for small businesses testing new products or kicking off a fresh brand. Larger orders of 250, 500, or 1000 boxes drop your per-box cost big time because of how production works. Go bigger if you trust your product and want to pocket more savings.

Can You Print White Ink on Kraft?

Yes, but this one's a bit tricky to pull off well. White ink on brown kraft looks soft rather than bright white because the brown peeks through a bit. We can lay down a white base under colors if you need them to really pop. Costs extra but fixes the problem for brands wanting bright, punchy colors.

Do You Offer Food-Safe Kraft Boxes?

Lots of our customers order food-grade kraft for their goodies. Our food-safe kraft follows all the rules for touching food directly, so your food stays safe to eat. Bakeries, snack brands, and meal prep companies use these boxes every day without any worries. We also add grease-blocking coatings for oily or buttery treats that might soak through regular kraft.

How Do I Send My Artwork Files?

We take PDF, AI, and PSD files for printing your designs. High resolution of 300 DPI or better works best for sharp, clean results. Don't have artwork ready yet? No sweat. Our team can prep your files so printing comes out crisp.

Can I Get a Sample Before Ordering?

Absolutely, and we really push for samples before you place a big order. Samples let you feel how heavy the material is, check the size, and see print quality with your own eyes before spending real money. We send blank kraft samples for free, or we make a printed sample for a small fee that counts toward your full order.

What If My Boxes Arrive Damaged?

Reach out to us right away with photos showing the damage clearly. We swap out bad boxes at no cost because we stand behind our work one hundred percent. This almost never happens, but when it does, we make it right fast and without any fuss.

Do You Ship Outside the USA?

We mainly focus on USA delivery for the quickest service and cheapest shipping. International shipping is possible if you really need it, but expect longer wait times and customs fees on your end. Get in touch to talk through your needs.

How Do I Track My Order After It Ships?

Once your boxes leave our shop, you get a tracking number by email right away. Follow your package from our door to yours using normal carrier tracking online. Most USA deliveries show up 8-10 business days after production wraps, depending on where you live. We ping you if anything changes or slows down along the way.
