Custom Kraft Paper

Do you know that the annual consumption of cling paper is 1.2 billion? Clin paper is one of the essential things in kitchens. Though it is the best thing to keep the food hygienic it is not a sustainable option. The stats signify that we are creating a significant amount of plastic waste annually. So what should be an alternative to this? Simple custom kraft paper. 

Kraft is one of the versatile and sustainable materials used in manufacturing custom-printed paper food wraps. It is a popular option among businesses across various industries such as food, gift wrapping, floral shops, decor, retail, e-commerce, etc. 

When kraft paper is printed with the logo and aesthetic artwork of brands it allows you to promote your business excellently. Moreover, the uncoated paper made with kraft material gives a rustic look and makes your product presentation minimalist yet unique. 

What Is Kraft Paper?

Customized kraft paper is a brownish material that is manufactured with the Krafting process. In this process, we chemically convert the wood pulp into fine paper sheets. The natural fiber in the wood gives kraft its signature strength and durability. You can get the paper in the thickness of your preference and wrap food products and other items such as flowers, gifts, etc.  

Kraft paper packaging is used as an alternative to synthetic and unsustainable packaging materials such as cling paper. Brands that are looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of their company and want to incorporate the core values of sustainability prefer kraft as a custom food wrapping paper. 

Types Of Kraft Paper

At our company, you can find diverse options of kraft paper sheets each having unique properties. As per the requirement for your product, you can select the type of Kraft. Say you need a rustic look then you can go with uncoated packaging material and if you need a colorful option then the bleached one will be suitable for you. The most common options for custom kraft wrapping paper available at our company are: 

Natural Brown Kraft Paper

This paper has a coarse texture and natural brown paper which makes it one of the most popular options in the packaging industry. Brown kraft paper is made with 100 % recycled material and has remarkable tensile strength. Due to the uncoating nature of the paper, it does not have a lasting resistance to moisture. 

White Kraft Paper

This type of paper undergoes bleaching that gives it a clean appearance. It has the same durability and tear-resistant properties as the unbleached kraft material but due to bleaching, it provides a cleaner look. White kraft paper is preferred by companies that want a more refined, polished look. This makes it popular in industries that want a cleaner aesthetic, such as food or high-end retail.

Colored Kraft Paper 

This type of kraft is available in a wider range of colours. The application of a bleaching agent removes the natural brown colour and gives it a white appearance. After this, the sheets are coloured with the required hue. It also has the same durability as the other varieties of kraft and is mostly used as decorative packaging and to give creative and decorative packaging. 

Waxed Paper 

This type of kraft is coated on one or both sides. These kraft paper rolls have additional moisture resistance and are used in the food industry to wrap fast food items that contain a high amount of moisture. Like greaseproof paper, it also keeps the food presentation intact by preventing spilling of the oil and grease out of the paper. 

Virgin Kraft 

This paper is made from 100% new or virgin fibres that are obtained directly from soft woods such as pine and spruce. As virgin material is manufactured without any kind of recycled material it has the highest durability and is an ideal option to line other materials such as corrugation. 

Manufacturing

As a kraft paper wholesale provider, we manufactured the material with the process called Kraft. In this processor treat the wood pulp with sodium sulfate that breaks the lignin into cellulose fibers. The release of cellulose gives the strongest paper as compared to the paper obtained from other processes. On the demand of the customer, we also use recycled paper but its durability is a little less than virgin kraft. 

Coated VS Non-Coated

There are various types of coatings available for kraft. Wax and polyethene coatings are the common options. These coatings give additional resistance to moisture, grease, and chemicals. Apart from providing protection, the paper is used to improve the quality of printed designs and branding elements such as logos and company names on the packaging. On brown kraft paper rolls, there is no application of coating because the brands want to retain the natural colour of the paper. The application of coatings impart the following features to the paper: 

• Wax coating provides moisture and grease resistance ability but can not be used in high temperatures due to the fear of melting. 
• Polyethene coating enhances the water resistance of the paper and has almost the same temperature resistance as that of wax-coated. 
• Silicon-coated paper is used in baked goods just like parchment paper. 
• Uncoated paper sheets of kraft do not have any additional reinforcing coatings, have a rough texture and are highly absorbent. Moreover, the uncoated option is more recyclable than the coated ones 

Printings 

Printing is one of the most essential components of paper decoration and is highly useful in creating a memorable impression on the customers about your food or product presentation. Say you are selling sandwiches in kraft paper bags, by adding the logo and branding element of your company you can promote your business and also make the customers feel special about the brand. The common printing options that you can get from us are: 

• Flexographic 
• Foil stamping 
• Offset
• Screen 
• Digital
