A kraft box is packaging that wears its values on the outside. The natural brown board reads sustainable, handmade, and honest, which is exactly the signal a natural, organic, or craft brand wants to send before a customer even reads the label. It is also practical: kraft hides scuffs and fingerprints better than white board, so it looks good after a rough trip through the mail.
Kraft is a material, not a single box, so you can get it in almost any style: a tuck end retail carton, a roll end mailer, a lid and base gift box, or a corrugated shipper. The uncoated surface takes a clean one or two color logo beautifully, and while it will not print bright full color as vividly as white board, that restraint is part of the look. Add a kraft window, a custom insert, or a soft touch for a bit more polish.
We make custom kraft boxes in your size and style with no minimum order, so a small brand can lean into a natural look without a huge run, at the best price. Tell us the product and the style and we will build and quote it.
Kraft box FAQ
What is a kraft box?
A box made from kraft paperboard or corrugated, the natural brown board that reads sustainable and handmade. It comes in retail cartons, mailers, gift boxes, and shippers, and it hides scuffs well, which is why natural and craft brands favor it.
Is kraft board recyclable?
Yes. Kraft board is recyclable and is often made with recycled content, and pairing it with water based inks keeps it easy to recycle. That is a big part of why eco minded brands choose it.
Can you print full color on kraft boxes?
You can, but color prints muted over the brown surface rather than bright like on white board. Kraft suits one or two color logos and a natural look. If you need vivid full color, white or white kraft board is a better canvas.
Is there a minimum order for custom kraft boxes?
No. We make custom kraft boxes with no minimum order, so a small brand can package a natural look before scaling, at the best price.

Are Kraft Boxes recyclable?
Kraft board is recyclable and available in unbleached, recycled-content options, which is why it reads as natural and eco-friendly.
