About our custom kraft boxes
Kraft boxes are made from unbleached brown paper fiber. The natural look tells customers your brand cares about materials, and kraft board is strong for its weight, widely recyclable and often made with recycled content.
We make kraft boxes in two families: kraft paperboard for retail cartons, and kraft corrugated for mailers and shipping boxes. Both are made to your dimensions and printed with your logo, from 10 units.
Kraft box styles
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft paperboard (CUK) | Retail cartons and food boxes | Brown on both sides; strong and stiff |
| White-lined kraft | Kraft outside with a clean white inside | Bright interior print, natural exterior |
| Kraft E-flute corrugated | Mailers and small shippers | Thin, strong and prints cleanly |
| Kraft B-flute corrugated | Shipping boxes and heavier products | More cushioning and stacking strength |
What affects the price of custom kraft boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Board. Kraft corrugated for mailers and shippers costs more per box than kraft paperboard cartons.
- Print. One- or two-color print on kraft is economical; full color needs a white ink base, which adds a pass.
- Size. Larger boxes use more board, so right-sizing saves money and freight.
- Quantity. Unit prices fall steeply as quantity rises.
- Extras. Windows, inserts and special finishes add to the unit price.

Printing on kraft
Brown fiber changes how ink looks. Black, dark greens, navy and deep reds print with good contrast. Bright and pastel colors look muted because the brown shows through, so for colorful artwork we print a white ink base first, or use white-lined kraft for the panels that need full color.
One- and two-color designs on kraft are a popular choice: they look intentional and natural, and they keep printing costs down.
Keeping kraft boxes recyclable
- Choose aqueous coating instead of plastic lamination
- Use soy or water-based inks
- Pick paper tape and paperboard inserts instead of foam
- Ask for high recycled-content board
How ordering works
