Skip to content Custom kraft boxes in brown, unbleached board for brands that want an honest, eco-friendly feel. Print your logo, pick the board and size, and order from 100 boxes.
Kraft is not a single material. The same brown, unbleached look comes in three constructions, so you can match the board to how the box will be used. For background on the material, see this overview of kraft paper.
| Kraft type | What it is | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft paperboard | A solid brown sheet, folds like cardboard | Retail cartons, soap, tea, cosmetics, food boxes |
| Kraft corrugated | Brown liners with a fluted middle | Mailer boxes, shipping boxes, subscription boxes |
| Kraft rigid wrap | Kraft paper wrapped over thick greyboard | Gift boxes and premium eco packaging |

Custom kraft boxes are uncoated and brown, so ink soaks in and colors print a little darker and softer than on white board. That is part of the look many brands want.
Black, white and one or two spot colors look sharpest on kraft. For brighter full-color artwork, a white ink base can be printed under your design so colors stay true.
Need the bright white of a coated box instead? See our cardboard boxes. For heavier shipping, kraft also comes in corrugated board.
Brown kraft boxes are the go-to for brands that want eco-friendly kraft boxes without losing their identity. Most customers order kraft boxes with logo printing in one or two colors.
