Kraft paper choices influence print colour, surface appearance and the construction of cartons, tubes and wraps. Compare brown, white and black kraft references against the branding and converting requirements.
State the selected stock’s basis weight in gsm and its caliper where relevant to the carton, sleeve or wrap. No universal kraft range is assumed. Brown stock changes the printing background; white or black kraft requires its own approved reference. Foil or an assessed white-ink route can be reviewed for contrast. Compared with coated white carton board, the visible substrate can become a stronger part of the graphic result.
Brand owners and distributors often select brown kraft for its visual character. The paper colour becomes part of the printed result, so a white-screen artwork preview cannot establish the final appearance. White and black variants create different printing decisions. Foil or a reviewed white-ink process may be considered where ordinary process colour will not achieve the intended contrast.
A natural-looking pack does not establish recycled content, certification or finished-pack recyclability. Coatings, film, inserts and adhesives can change the complete specification. Agree the intended construction first, then request evidence for any sourcing claim the brand needs to make. Also check stock consistency for repeat orders where the unprinted paper colour remains prominent.
Provide the paper shade or physical reference, intended use, weight or caliper requirement and artwork. Include any documented fibre or sourcing criteria required by the customer.
Finished kraft-packaging projects generally begin at 1,000 pieces with a usual 35-day production lead time. Confirm stock choice and any exceptional sourcing before accepting the schedule.

Send the actual product dimensions, preferred structure, material and finish requirements, artwork or reference, estimated order quantity and destination country. LUX BOX will review the specification and sampling scope for your kraft paper project.
The substrate affects the result. Approve a relevant print sample on the selected stock rather than relying on a white-background screen proof.
No. Kraft appearance alone does not establish fibre composition or recycled content. Request the selected stock’s documentation.
Yes, a kraft surface can be specified separately from a rigid core or other structural components. State the role of the material in the complete pack.
