Kraft Gift Boxes are natural paperboard cartons made for retailers and gifting brands that want a warm, recycled-look presentation without rigid-box cost. We manufacture them in the US and custom-print them to your artwork.
The kraft surface signals a handmade, eco-minded feel that pairs well with artisan and seasonal products, and the folding build ships flat to save freight and storage. Quick assembly keeps packing stations moving during holiday and launch peaks. Candle makers, bakeries, apparel brands, and corporate gift programs use these for ready-to-give presentation.

Printing & Finishing
Keep the bare kraft for a craft aesthetic, or layer on foil stamping and embossing for a premium touch that still reads natural. Matte lamination softens the surface, gloss brightens printed color, and spot UV adds a subtle shine to one detail.
Why Order from Teal Kraft Gift Boxes
As a US-based custom packaging supplier, we set the standard MOQ at 50 units and include free design help. Free US shipping, full-color CMYK printing, and an FSC-certified paper option are standard, and a rush service (from about 4 to 7 business days after proof approval on qualified ready-to-print jobs) is available instead of the standard run of about 7 business days after proof approval. Start with a sample kit ($50, credited to your first order).

Designing Kraft Gift Boxes for Larger Runs
Natural board absorbs ink, so colors read warmer and softer than the same file printed on a coated white face. That favors line art, single color logos, and typography over photographic images. White ink can be laid down as a base if you need brighter color, and a clear varnish adds a little scuff resistance without hiding the fiber texture.
| Boxes | Natural board guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Ink trials to see how your color shifts on kraft. |
| 500 | One craft market season with reserve stock. |
| 1,000 | Two sizes printed with a shared single color. |
| 5,000 | Additional ink stations barely affect the total. |
| 10,000+ | Wholesale gifting from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two lanes decide the handover: kraft boxes converted domestically may be ready near about 7 business days, while specialty imported board can push toward about 12 weeks, both offered plainly as planning ranges, not guarantees. Order the sample kit for $50 and that charge is deducted from the first order. Send box dimensions, board caliper, ink colors, varnish preference, and quantity.
