Why Choose Custom Kraft Packaging?

Kraft packaging combines the natural, eco-conscious aesthetic of unbleached kraft paperboard with the structural strength of a fluted corrugated medium. This multi-layered construction features an outer liner, an inner liner, and an arched fluted center sheet designed to absorb shock, resist crushing, and maintain structural integrity during transit across the country.

• Superior Stacking & Bursting Strength: Manufactured with high-grade ECT (Edge Crush Test) and Mullen burst test ratings (ranging from 200-lb single-wall to 275-lb double-wall configurations), ensuring heavy loads remain protected under intense stacking pressure.
• 100% Recyclable & Sustainable: Made from renewable softwood fibers (like pine and spruce) and post-consumer recycled content, offering a carbon-neutral footprint, biodegradability, and full compliance with eco-friendly disposal guidelines.
• Cost-Effective Bulk Shipping: Lightweight construction drastically lowers freight rates without sacrificing protective load capacity.
• Tailored Brand Identity: Natural brown kraft or bleached white kraft substrates provide a premium canvas for direct digital printing, flexographic inks, and custom foil stamping.
