Custom Kraft Boxes

Custom kraft boxes give your products a natural, honest look that customers associate with sustainability and quality. The brown, unbleached board is strong, recyclable and works beautifully with simple one-colour logos or bold full-colour designs.

At Custom Boxes Peak we make custom printed kraft boxes in every popular style, from mailer and tuck end boxes to pillow, gable, sleeve and window boxes. Each box is made to your exact size, so it fits your product snugly and uses less material.

Kraft packaging suits food, soaps, candles, cosmetics, apparel and gifts, and it is one of the most cost-effective ways to give a small brand a premium, handmade feel.

Why choose custom kraft boxes?

Eco-friendly by nature

Kraft board is made from unbleached wood fibre and is widely recyclable and biodegradable. Pair it with water-based inks and plastic-free windows for fully sustainable packaging.

Strong and durable

The long fibres in kraft paper give it excellent strength for its weight, so kraft boxes protect products well in transit and on shelves.

Cost-effective branding

A one-colour logo on natural kraft looks stylish and keeps printing costs low, which makes kraft ideal for start-ups and wholesale runs.

Designing for kraft board

Kraft has a warm brown base, so dark inks such as black, navy and deep green print best. White ink and foil stamping stand out well for a premium contrast. If you need bright full-colour images, choose white kraft or add a white ink base under your artwork.

We will advise on colours and send a proof so you can see how your design looks on kraft before production.

Custom kraft boxes wholesale pricing

The price of custom kraft boxes depends on a few simple factors, and knowing them helps you get the best value from your budget:

• Size and style: larger boxes and complex structures use more board and set-up.
• Material: paperboard costs less than corrugated, and corrugated less than rigid board.
• Printed sides: outside-only printing is the most economical; inside printing adds impact for a little more.
• Finishes: foil, embossing and soft-touch add a premium feel and a small cost per box.
• Quantity: the unit price drops as the order grows, so wholesale runs give the best value.

Tip: keep one structure across several products and change only the artwork, and you can order custom kraft boxes in larger combined runs at a lower unit price. Request a free quote and we will suggest ways to reduce cost without losing quality.

Sustainable custom kraft boxes

More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your custom kraft boxes from recyclable and recycled-content board, print with water-based or soy-based inks, swap plastic windows for open or plant-based film, and right-size every box so it uses less material and less void fill. Add a small recycling symbol and message to show customers you care.

Artwork tips for custom kraft boxes

• Design on the dieline we send, with 3 mm (1/8 inch) bleed past every cut edge.
• Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside folds and cut lines.
• Use 300 DPI images and CMYK colours, or Pantone references for exact brand colours.
• Send logos as vector files and convert fonts to outlines.
• Put the product name and main benefit on the front panel, and barcodes and legal text on the back or base.
