Why Choose Kraft Paper
Kraft Paper — The Authentic Natural Material for Brands With Honest Positioning
Kraft paper and kraft board derive their distinctive warm brown color from the kraft pulping process — wood fibers processed without bleaching, preserving the natural lignin that creates the characteristic color and the high fiber strength that makes kraft paper the strongest standard packaging material per weight. This strength-to-weight efficiency makes kraft corrugated the global standard for shipping cases, and kraft paperboard the preferred material for brands communicating natural, authentic, and sustainable positioning.
We work with natural kraft in its standard unbleached brown form and in coated kraft variants where a white clay-coated surface over a natural kraft base provides good print quality while preserving the natural kraft aesthetic on unprinted surfaces and edges.
The Brand Communication of Kraft
Kraft paper communicates a specific set of brand values without a single printed word: natural, honest, sustainable, handmade, and real. Brands that use kraft packaging are implicitly saying that they share these values. Natural food brands, organic cosmetics, artisan coffee roasters, craft breweries, and sustainable lifestyle brands use kraft because the material itself is brand communication. The unbleached, unprocessed aesthetic signals authenticity in a world of over-processed, over-packaged consumer goods.
Printing on Kraft: Managing Color Appearance
Natural kraft board has a warm brown base that affects print color appearance — standard CMYK colors appear warmer and darker on kraft than on white board. This is not a defect but a characteristic to be managed in design. White ink is essential for any elements that need to appear white or light on kraft. Designs created specifically for kraft substrates — often using earthy palettes, simple line work, and strategic white ink — can be extraordinarily effective. We provide kraft-specific design guidance and proof approval on kraft substrates before production.
CUK Kraft: The Best of Both Worlds
CUK (Coated Unbleached Kraft) provides a white clay-coated front surface over a natural kraft base. This gives the print surface of white board with the kraft aesthetic on unprinted areas and cut edges. CUK is the standard for food brands that want strong print quality on the panel faces while communicating the natural kraft aesthetic through visible board edges and interior surfaces. It is widely used for cereal boxes, snack packaging, and retail food cartons.

Mississippi's economy is grounded in agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing, with the Gulf Coast's gaming and tourism industry creating a distinct packaging market in the southern part of the state.

Mississippi Agriculture and Food Packaging
Mississippi is a major cotton, catfish, sweet potato, and broiler chicken producing state. The Mississippi Delta's agricultural identity creates demand for food packaging that communicates authentic Southern agricultural provenance. Farm-direct food brands, specialty food producers, and agricultural processors in Mississippi require FDA-compliant food packaging with appropriate labeling for national distribution.
Gulf Coast Tourism and Gaming Packaging
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is home to major casino resorts, beaches, and tourism attractions that create demand for premium gift packaging, promotional packaging, and hospitality packaging. Casino gift shops, resort retail, and Gulf seafood brands all require packaging appropriate for the tourism market.

Southaven is part of the Memphis metropolitan area and serves as a significant logistics and retail hub. Its proximity to Memphis's distribution infrastructure makes it a strategic location for Mississippi businesses requiring national distribution packaging.

Kraft Paper Packaging in Mississippi — FAQs
Why is kraft paper stronger than bleached white paper of the same weight?
The bleaching process used to produce white paper removes lignin from wood fibers — the natural binder that gives fibers strength. Kraft paper preserves this lignin, maintaining higher fiber-to-fiber bonding strength. This is why kraft corrugated is the global standard for shipping cases where strength efficiency is critical.
Can kraft packaging be printed with vibrant colors?
Yes, with design awareness. Standard CMYK colors appear muted and warm on natural kraft. White ink enables light elements. Designs optimized for kraft substrates — earthy palettes, natural imagery, clean typography — achieve excellent visual results. For photographic-quality full-color printing, coated kraft or white board is recommended.
Is kraft paper more sustainable than white paperboard?
Kraft paper avoids the bleaching chemicals used in white paper production, reducing chemical use and water pollution. It is typically produced with higher recycled content. The absence of optical brighteners and bleach residues makes kraft more biodegradable. For brands with strong sustainability commitments, kraft is the preferred material choice.
Can kraft packaging be food-safe?
Yes. Unbleached kraft paper has been used for food contact packaging for over a century. Food-safe kraft grades meet FDA requirements for direct and indirect food contact. The natural color does not indicate contamination — it is the unbleached fiber's natural appearance.
