Whether you sell cosmetics, foods, gifts, or luxury products, custom black kraft boxes elevate your brand presence and create memorable unboxing experiences.

Our manufacturing partners produce boxes that look beautiful while protecting your products during shipping and handling.

Materials and GSM Specifications
Custom black kraft boxes require carefully selected materials that provide structural integrity while maintaining the distinctive dark appearance.
Our boxes are crafted from high-quality kraft paperboard with specific formulations designed for optimal printing and performance.
Standard custom black kraft boxes use 250-350 GSM solid unbleached sulfate (SUS) or coated unbleached kraft (CUK) paperboard. This material provides excellent structural integrity with a natural kraft fiber appearance on the unprinted surfaces.
The black coloration is integrated into the paperboard during manufacturing, ensuring consistent color throughout the material rather than surface printing that can scratch or wear.
For premium applications, we offer 400-500 GSM SBS (solid bleached sulfate) paperboard with black coating that provides brighter white printing surfaces while maintaining the elegant dark exterior. Corrugated options use 32-44 ECT rated B-flute construction for shipping boxes requiring additional strength.
All materials are sourced from FSC-certified suppliers committed to responsible forestry practices.
