Kraft Corrugated — Natural Brown Shipping Board With Artisan Brand Appeal
Natural kraft liner corrugated board — the original shipping box aesthetic with sustainability and artisan brand positioning appeal.
Why Choose Kraft Corrugated
About Kraft Corrugated
Kraft corrugated uses natural brown kraft liner on one or both surfaces of the corrugated construction, creating the familiar brown shipping box aesthetic that is also the visual signature of sustainable, artisan, and natural brand packaging. While white corrugated dominates for premium print applications, kraft corrugated serves two distinct markets: standard commercial shipping where the natural appearance is functionally adequate, and premium artisan/sustainable brand packaging where the natural kraft aesthetic is specifically desired as a brand communication.

The most versatile retail box format in Canadian packaging. Tuck end boxes fold flat for storage, assemble in seconds, and print beautifully across every product category from supplements to cosmetics to food.
Magnetic Closure Boxes
Premium magnetic closure boxes for Canadian luxury brands, gift retailers, and corporate gifting programs. The satisfying click of a magnetic close communicates quality before the product is seen.

Two-Piece Boxes
Lid-and-base two-piece boxes for Canadian premium brands, jewellers, and gift retailers. The separate lid creates a deliberate reveal moment that communicates quality through the physical act of opening.

Kraft Corrugated FAQs
Can kraft corrugated be printed with full-colour graphics?
CMYK printing on kraft liner produces muted, warm-shifted colours. For optimal kraft printing, designs use white ink for the primary graphic elements with limited colour accents. This creates the distinctive white-on-kraft artisan aesthetic.
Is kraft corrugated less expensive than white corrugated?
Yes. Kraft liner is less expensive to produce than bleached white liner, making kraft corrugated typically 10-20% less expensive than equivalent white corrugated.
When is kraft corrugated the right choice over white?
Kraft is the right choice when natural/artisan/sustainable brand positioning is the objective, or when standard shipping without premium branding is adequate. White corrugated is preferred for premium brand graphics and DTC unboxing experience.
Is kraft corrugated recyclable?
Yes. Kraft corrugated is highly recyclable and is one of the most commonly recycled packaging materials in Canadian municipal programs.
