Kraft paper is a highly durable type of packaging paper. It is manufactured through the sulfate pulping process, which involves the chemical conversion of wood into wood pulp. Depending on the treatment, kraft paper is available in two primary forms: natural (unbleached), which retains a light brown color, and bleached kraft paper, which appears white. Among all commonly used packaging papers, kraft paper is considered the strongest option, making it ideal for applications where durability and resistance to tearing are essential. Its coarse texture and robust nature provide excellent performance as a packaging material. In some cases, kraft paper is intentionally produced with a slightly rough surface to enhance friction, helping prevent bags or packages from slipping off pallets during handling and transportation. Kraft paper is highly versatile and supports various printing methods such as letterpress, flexography, and offset printing, allowing for customization and branding. Its wide range of packaging forms includes multiwall bags, shipping sacks, industrial tapes, envelopes, and wrapping papers.
