Due to its strength and sturdiness, Kraft Paper is used for several industrial and commercial purposes. The material is used in packaging applications for packing, wrapping individual products, bundling and void fill. Also, Kraft paper can be utilized as load binders between layers of palatalized products.
Today Mr. Gaurav Jalan, Founder, and Director of Packman Packaging Pvt Ltd which is a leading packaging manufacturer in India talks about the types of Kraft Papers and its uses.
Virgin Natural Kraft Paper
Virgin natural kraft paper is known as a heavy lifter of the paper world. It’s clean and durable fiber content and its lower costs make it an ideal choice for heavy-duty applications that need a high level of tear resistance. Also, this is perfect for printing as well, so it is natural for branded packaging and safety layering, wrapping, pallet interleaving, dunnage and carrier sheets.
Natural Recycled Kraft Paper
Though not as strong and tear-resistant as compared virgin natural kraft, natural recycled kraft paper is an eco-friendlier alternative, and still carries sufficient strength to do a great job with dunnage and void fill usages, as liners for trays and boxes, interleaver, and bottom wrap for newspapers. Both virgin and recycled kraft paper comes standard in weights from 30#-70#.
Colored Kraft Paper
Colored kraft paper is available almost in simply about every color. Its vibrant hues make it good for all types of craft projects, as well as bulletin boards, standard school supplies, scrapbooking, and other applications. If your target market includes, schools, day-cares, or busy parents, colored kraft paper must be on your list.
Black Kraft Paper
The most usage of black kraft paper is like a dark, sturdy backing for picture frames, but this is not its only use. Black kraft paper is also good for fun and interesting craft projects, or as a tool to unique decorating where light barriers and dark borders are required.
White Or Bleached Kraft Paper
Just like virgin natural kraft in strength and durability, white or bleached kraft paper makes a strong impact when a crisp, clean appearance is wanted. For instance, several restaurants like to use white kraft paper as an eye-catching and economical option to linen tablecloths. It also serves great for wrapping and can stand up well to the standard wear and tear a package might receive.
Printed Kraft Paper
Several industries take benefit of the versatility and value of custom printed kraft paper for making branded wrapping, packaging, and in-store displays. For instance, a shop might order a supply of kraft paper sheets in the appropriate size for wrapping sandwiches, and have the shop logo and contact information printed on 1side as a means of affordable, continual promotion. Various fashion manufacturers transport their goods away with printed kraft paper sleeves and sheets between individual items, or wrapping the inside of a shoebox, also with branded logos and other information properly displayed.
