Choosing between formats
Buyers land on custom kraft boxes from a few different directions, and a neighboring format is sometimes the better build. Here is how the honest trade-offs line up.
| Format | Construction | Typical use | Minimum order | Finish options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kraft folding carton | Single-layer kraft paperboard, folded and glued, ships flat | Retail shelf, soap, cosmetics, small consumer goods | From 50 units | Foil, emboss, deboss, spot UV, windows, die-cuts |
| Kraft mailer box | E-flute or B-flute corrugated with a kraft liner, interlocking flaps | Ecommerce shipping and unboxing | From 50 units | Inside and outside print, die-cuts, inserts |
| Rigid box | Chipboard 1.5 to 2.5mm wrapped in printed paper, ships assembled | Premium and gift presentation | From 100 units | Foil, emboss, deboss, soft-touch, magnetic closure |
If you are unsure which column you belong in, send the product dimensions, the weight, and where the pack has to survive (shelf, courier, or both) and the team will point at one.
Materials and finishes
These are the stocks we actually run for custom kraft boxes, with the trade-off each one carries.
| Material | Construction | Where it fits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraft paperboard, 300 to 400gsm | Uncoated natural brown board with visible fiber | Retail cartons, sleeves over a tray, lightweight gift boxes | Takes one and two-color print cleanly, prints softer than coated board |
| White SBS, 14 to 18pt | Bleached, coated solid board | Kraft-look outside with a white printable interior, or bright full-color panels | Reproduces color more accurately than uncoated kraft |
| Corrugated E-flute | Fluted board, thin profile | Kraft mailer boxes and shipper cartons that still need to print well | Adds crush resistance without much bulk |
| Corrugated B-flute | Fluted board, thicker profile | Heavier kraft shippers and multi-unit packs | More stacking strength, coarser print surface |
Finish options
| Finish | What it is | Where it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Foil stamping | Metallic foil pressed into the board | Logos and lockups on natural kraft |
| Embossing and debossing | Raised or recessed impression, no ink | Tactile branding that suits uncoated kraft |
| Spot UV | Gloss varnish on selected artwork areas | Contrast against a matte kraft surface |
| Soft-touch | Velvet-feel laminate | Applied over a coated panel rather than raw kraft |
| Die-cuts and windows | Cut shapes and clear film panels | Product reveal and easy-open features |
| Soy and water-based inks | Lower-solvent ink systems | Pairs with recycled and FSC-certified board choices |
FSC-certified and recyclable options are available by specification. Soy and water-based inks are used across our paperboard and corrugated work. Final sustainability wording is matched to the board, coating, and finish you approve.
How ordering works
Four steps from first message to a box on a truck.
- 1. Send the spec. Product dimensions, quantity, material direction, and any finish you have in mind. If you only have a rough idea, a photo of the product and a target quantity is enough to start.
- 2. Get the quote and the dieline. We price the run and our design team builds your dieline at no charge. Minimums start from 50 units, and specialty rigid formats from 100.
- 3. Artwork and revisions. Drop your artwork onto the dieline, or hand us the assets and we will place it. Two revision rounds are included on every order.
- 4. Digital proof, then production. Nothing prints until you approve a digital proof. Standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, plus 2 to 5 business days for US delivery, and complex or high-volume orders take longer. Express and economy shipping options are available, and standard US shipping is free.

Custom Kraft Boxes for Natural and Eco-Friendly Packaging
Kraft packaging is a strong fit for brands that want a natural, recyclable look without losing print quality. Teal produces brown kraft boxes, white-ink kraft packaging, kraft mailers, kraft soap boxes, kraft food boxes, and kraft gift boxes.
Popular kraft box uses
- 8x10 kraft boxes, small retail cartons, mailers, and gift packaging
- Handmade soap, candles, bakery products, apparel, and wellness kits
- Natural kraft board with black, white, one-color, or full-color printing
- Recyclable and FSC material options for sustainability-focused brands
Related options include sustainable packaging, eco-friendly boxes, and mailer boxes.
Custom Kraft Boxes for Natural and Eco-Friendly Packaging
Custom kraft boxes give products a natural brown paper look while keeping packaging practical for retail, ecommerce, food, soap, gifts, and subscription boxes. Kraft packaging can be simple and minimal, or printed with white ink, black ink, and selective color.
Choose paperboard kraft for lightweight retail cartons and corrugated kraft for mailers or shipping protection. If the product needs premium full-color print, SBS or white board may be a better fit than kraft.
- Common structures: kraft mailer boxes, tuck cartons, gable boxes, gift boxes with lids, sleeves, and window boxes.
- Best uses: soap, candles, food, skincare, handmade products, apparel, gifts, and ecommerce orders.
- Finish options: black print, white print, foil, embossing, debossing, and window patching.
Are kraft boxes recyclable?
Many uncoated kraft boxes are recyclable where paperboard recycling exists. Windows, lamination, foil, and mixed materials can change the disposal guidance.
Can kraft boxes be printed in full color?
Yes, but colors print differently on brown kraft than on white SBS. For bright color accuracy, compare kraft against SBS paperboard before finalizing artwork.
Compare materials in the eco-friendly material selector or review SBS paperboard.
