Kraft Paper & Its Composition
It may come as a surprise, but the paper is not naturally white. Paper starts brown from the wood fibers it’s made of – among other chemicals like cellulose and lignin, giving the pulp its strength. To make a sheet of white paper, these natural colors need to be bleached away so they can’t stain your hands or clothes any longer than necessary after you’re done writing with them.
What’s the beauty in kraft paper? It sounds like it should be brown, right? But did you know that its natural color is unbleached pulp? That means that there are no chemicals used during processing and chlorine-free white-water emissions to pollute our environment.
Kraft paper is a robust, long lasting, and reliable stock that has many uses. It can be used for almost anything from protecting individual products to economic void fill. There are several kinds of kraft paper, like recycled brown-cardboard wrappers or butcher wrap (used in grocery stores).
The types of kraft paper can be broken down into two categories.
- Standard one is the most usual kind. It comes in both virgin natural or recycled varieties, which are perfect for various uses such as cushioning purposes and wrapping up gifts.
- Colored one falls under this category too, but they’re great to use when crafting items with their colorful patterns.
- Waxed one offers lightweight security against oil, moisture and grease.
- Poly Coated one provides a protective shield from water, oils or liquids while also protecting metal items like your car
- Indented one is an excellent choice for those fragile items and that needs protection. These sheets of paper offer a great nonabrasive feel to them, making it perfect if you have delicate things in the house like dishes! It’s also straightforward to tear off a piece from these pages, making this product great for wrapping up small gifts as well.
Recently, there’s been a resurgence in the use of kraft paper for crafting and decorating. It has become an alternative to holiday staples like tinsel or garland with its natural look and feel.
Figure out what type of kraft papers you have available on hand, then decide how you can incorporate them into your home this season.

When you use fewer energy resources like electricity by switching from glossy papers to white ones, people thank you and Mother Nature.
Uncoated Kraft Boxes
We know that kraft paper comes in different varieties, but did you know it also has a rougher texture? That means when applying coatings and laminates to the board, they’re less likely to stick. On top of being more environmentally friendly because uncoated surfaces are easier for recycling facilities process, this is fantastic quality.
Kraft boxes are 100% recyclable.
You are contributing to the recycling industry worldwide while also saving on energy. Virgin kraft paper is made from unbleached pulp, which means that it does not require any new trees cut down for its production- and by switching to recycled products, you can help keep those trees standing.

Paper made with kraft is a perfect fit for heavier items such as candle jars, mugs, and beverage containers.

Thickness also adds an extra layer of durability- 18 points thickness gives you more strength than your average card stock.
