What is Kraft paper?


The word Kraft means strength in German. Being extremely strong, Kraft paper is well deserving of that name - and is also so-called due to being made using the “Kraft” pulping process, where wood chips are cooked under pressure. The chips release cellulose and shed lignin, leaving solid wood pulp. The pulp then undergoes a shaping process and is dried and wound onto giant rolls ready to be cut. The Kraft paper production method uses fewer chemicals than the traditional paper manufacturing process, offering a more sustainable choice without compromising strength.

What is Kraft paper used for?

After pouring your heart and soul into crafting your exceptional products, why settle for packaging that doesn't match the brilliance within? This high-quality recycled paper with high tear resistance is a popular choice for eco-chic branded wrapping. Kraft paper is also used to make sturdy paper bags and custom-printed totes. It is a versatile paper that makes a lightweight, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to plastic and bulkier packaging.

What Makes Kraft Paper Eco-Friendly and why is that important?

Both brown and white Kraft paper are 100% compostable and decompose like fallen leaves, breaking down within a few weeks to minimize waste and environmental impact. And because Kraft paper can be reused, it doesn’t end up in landfill.

With consumers engaging more with eco-conscious brands as a business, opting for Kraft paper over less environmentally friendly alternatives can set you apart from others in the industry.

What is the difference between Kraft paper and butcher paper?

While Kraft paper and butcher paper share the same brown paper bag look, they’re more like distant cousins than twins. Kraft paper is made from recycled and virgin wood fibers, creating the perfect branded packaging to stylishly wrap individual articles, fragile items, and gifts.


Butcher paper, on the other hand, is made from only virgin wood pulp with no recycled content. It's also coated to withstand moisture like a champ, making it ideal for wrapping meats and oily foods.
