Why Kraft Over a Coated Wrap
An uncoated kraft wrap keeps the rigid box’s natural paper texture visible instead of laminating over it. That look signals artisan, small-batch, or natural-product positioning in a way a glossy laminate can’t — while the rigid chipboard core still holds its shape exactly like any other rigid box.
Use Cases
- Artisan food and bakery brands wanting a handmade, rustic look.
- Natural and clean-beauty cosmetics brands emphasizing ingredient transparency.
- Craft goods and small-batch retailers selling through boutique channels.
- Eco-conscious e-commerce brands matching packaging to their sustainability message.
Print Options on Kraft Stock
Ink sits differently on uncoated kraft than on coated laminate — letterpress, one and two-color spot printing, and foil stamping all read cleanly against the natural brown or bleached-white kraft base without needing full-color process printing.
Eco-Friendly Kraft Packaging
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified kraft board options, so the natural look matches genuine sustainable sourcing.
