Kraft paper, whose name means strength in German, is one of the most widely used papers in the packaging industry due to its high durability. With its unique properties, this paper covers a wide range of industrial and creative needs.

Main Features and Types of Kraft Paper

• Basis Weight: The weight of this paper usually varies between 18 and 200 pounds (approximately 8.2 to 90.7 kg). The most common and best-selling weight in the industry is between 25 and 80 pounds (11.3 to 36.3 kg).
• Natural Color: The primary color of unbleached kraft paper is light brown. This natural type is considered the strongest common packaging paper.
• Bleached Kraft Paper: This paper is whitened through chemical processes. While maintaining high strength, it is ideal for printing and packaging where appearance is important. Bleached kraft paper is considered the strongest type of white paper.

Improving Properties and Increasing Strength

To achieve greater strength and resistance, especially against moisture, kraft paper is enhanced through various methods:

1. Adding Resin: By adding polyamide or polyamine resin to the kraft fibers and drying it under heat, a paper with high strength and moisture resistance is produced. This feature is vital for food bags that come into contact with moist products.
2. Lamination: By laminating plastic or foil layers onto kraft paper, it is used for packaging products like biscuits, sweets, spices, and fast food.

Grammage and Weight Tolerance

• Lightweight bags: Have a grammage of about 40-60 g/m².
• Heavy-duty bags: Such as those for heavy food packaging, must tolerate up to 12 kg, and their grammage can reach up to 110 g/m².

Creative and Eco-Friendly Applications

The neutral and natural color of kraft paper makes it an excellent medium for creativity. It can be easily decorated with ribbons, labels, and custom designs to create a chic and unique look.

• Gift Boxes: Gift boxes wrapped in brown kraft and decorated with colorful ribbons are very popular.
• Ceremonies and Events: Creating invitations and decorations with kraft paper is an economical and beautiful option for events like weddings.
• Eco-Friendliness: Using these products gives customers a good feeling, as they are respecting the environment in which they live.
