Frequently Asked Questions
What should be checked before approving a custom kraft box sample?
Buyers should check product fit, box structure, kraft paper type, paper weight, print color, white ink underlay, window size, insert fit, glue seam strength, tuck lock fit, barcode readability, packing method, and export carton plan.
Can I print bright colors on brown kraft paper?
Yes, but colors usually look darker or more muted on brown kraft paper because the natural base is not white.
Do I need white ink underlay for kraft boxes?
White ink underlay is recommended when you need brighter brand colors, light logos, or full-color artwork on brown or black kraft paper.
What paper weight should I choose for kraft boxes?
Material grade, dimensions and performance direction are selected from the approved product, structure, print, packing and route requirements.
Can kraft boxes be used for food, soap, or candles?
Kraft boxes can be used for certain food, soap, or candle packaging projects when suitable materials, coatings, inner liners, bags, or wrappers are confirmed.
Can I add a window to custom kraft boxes?
Yes. A clear PET window or custom window shape can be added to show the product inside.
Can kraft boxes use foil stamping or embossing?
Yes. Foil stamping, embossing, and debossing often look strong on kraft surfaces because they create contrast against the natural paper texture.
Are kraft boxes shipped flat or assembled?
Most kraft folding cartons are shipped flat to reduce shipping volume. Straight tuck end, reverse tuck end, sleeves, and many paperboard structures are usually flat-packed.
Can kraft boxes be produced with inserts, labels, and hang tags?
Yes. HS PACKFACTORY can coordinate kraft boxes with kraft paperboard inserts, molded pulp inserts, labels, stickers, hang tags, sleeves, instruction cards, and outer corrugated cartons.
Can FSC-related kraft paper documents be checked?
Documentation or certification scope must be confirmed for the selected material, supplier, production route, intended use and destination.
