Due to the change in the climate and the increase in the Earth’s temperature, it has become inevitable for all brands to start investing in boxes that do not contribute to the greenhouse effect. This is one of the most essential steps to reduce waste generation and hence climate change. Using custom kraft boxes you can reduce solid waste generation and save the planet from further deterioration.
Kraft material is sustainable but we get it from cutting wood, and it may cause deforestation. By placing your order at PremiumCustomBoxes, you can get FSC-approved kraft material which means that we get this material from sustainable managed trees.
Custom kraft packaging boxes are the best and most useful option to securely pack the products as they are environmentally friendly, versatile, and durable. When you place an order at our company, you can get several styles, material thicknesses, and unique custom features for your boxes.
Characteristics Of Custom Kraft Boxes
There are different types of paper-based materials available in the market that are sustainable and sturdy. Still, kraft is the most preferable choice as it is 100 % sustainable and needs minimal printing. Custom kraft paper packaging has a natural brown color that undergoes minimal chemical treatment which is why it is the most sustainable option. These boxes are available in various types, thicknesses, and printing options.
If you are selling delicate items and are worried about the protection, then kraft material provides excellent protection. It contains long cellulose fibers that increase the tear-resistant capacity of custom boxes allowing you to store and transit your product without any worry.
Material Sources For Custom Kraft Packaging
Wood pulp is the main source of kraft, which undergoes the kraft process for conversion into paper. As we abide by the sustainable principles set by COPs, that is why we use FSC-approved woods and convert them into strong paper. Some of the sources from where we get material for customized kraft paper boxes are:
Softwood Trees
Softwood is the most common source of kraft material and includes plant species such as pines, spruce, and fir. Due to the long fiber of these trees, kraft material manufactured using them has marvelous strength and durability.
Hardwood Trees
Hard is not a common option because its durability is a little less, however, corrugated kraft boxes are made by this. The presence of a flute in the corrugated material compensates for the reduction in strength. We get this wood from oaks, birch, and eucalyptus. These plants have short fibers and smoother surfaces that make printing comparatively easy.
Recycled Paper
Apart from using virgin kraft, we also have the option of recycling kraft material. This paper is usually a combination of soft and hardwood fiber and is an ideal option for brown paper bags. Brands that have low packaging budgets but want to remain sustainable can choose this material.
Agro-Waste Materials
The advancement in technology has facilitated us to use all the resources efficiently. For instance, now we can manufacture boxes with ago-waste such as bagasse. Straw, bamboo, etc. These all are biodegradable and chemical so they can be used for the manufacturing of kraft food boxes wholesale.
How We Make Kraft Paper Easy To Print While Retaining Its Sustainability
As kraft is a natural material it certainly contains some residues, these residues and its natural brown color makes printing a little challenging. This becomes a major issue when a brand needs vibrant and high-quality images, such as for custom kraft display boxes. But due to our avant-garde printing facilities that enhance the printability of the
Surface Treatment
One thing that we do to make printing easy is the surface treatment. In this method, we coat the upper layer of the paper with clay or similar substances that smoothen the paper’s texture and reduce the absorptive capacity. Due to this, we can give sharp designs on custom printed kraft boxes.
Bleaching
Even after the treatment of kraft material with a clay coating, we cannot achieve a clean surface. So for kraft white boxes, we treat the paper with bleaching agents and get a lighter or white tone which offers a much better contrast for printing.
Calendering
The main issue with kraft is that it does not have a smoother surface due to which not only printing but creasing it becomes tricky. Nonetheless, by using calendaring we increase the smoothness and get a uniform surface which is easier to pint and crease in different styles such as kraft pillow boxes wholesale.
Pre-Printing Primers
Apart from the application of clay coating, there are several other options available that allow us to print the boxes as you desire. For instance, we apply primer on the paper and make the adhesion of ink better and get a highly vibrant design such as for premium custom kraft gift boxes that need an elegant design to give a special feel which is possible only when the paper is well printed. The use of primer is essential when we use offset and digital printing.
Ink Selection
Another very useful mode to make the designs accurate and enticing on the boxes is the selection of ink. We have the option of special inks that give high opacity and are specially produced for uncoated materials, such as UV inks, that produce vibrant designs on custom kraft boxes wholesale.
Types Of Custom Kraft Boxes
Despite the fact that kraft is a tricky material when it comes to printing, still it is the preferred choice due to its lower rates, variety, and high sustainability. You can get any of the box styles in any shape and thickness by option for our services.
