Kraft Corrugated Boxes are natural-finish shipping boxes for brands that want a recyclable, no-fuss shipper with an earthy look. Built from corrugated board with a kraft outer liner and available custom-printed, they pair durable protection with a clean, sustainable presentation.
The kraft surface ships well without heavy coatings and takes printing for logos or simple line art, so your shipper doubles as a brand touchpoint. Interlocking flaps and die-cut construction mean many styles close without tape. A typical use: a sustainability-minded apparel or home-goods brand shipping direct to customers in a box that matches its values.

Corrugated Carton Ordering at Freight Volume
Flute and wall type do the structural work. Single wall B or C flute covers most parcel and case shipping, double wall handles heavy or stacked freight, and edge crush values matter far more than paper weight when pallets are stacked high. Natural kraft liner takes one or two flexo colors cleanly without the cost of a litho label.
| Cartons | Freight duty guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Stack trials with the real packed weight inside. |
| 500 | One month of outbound freight for a small plant. |
| 1,000 | Two case sizes converted on the same board. |
| 5,000 | Flexo plate costs disappear into the case figure. |
| 10,000+ | Plant level supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two production paths apply here: conversion kept domestically may finish inside about 7 business days, specialty imported board can take about 12 weeks, each framed as planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of the flexo layout is approved before plates are made. Send internal dimensions, packed weight, stack height, flute preference, and yearly volume.
