May 29, 2024 What is kraft paper and why is it so popular? 5:18 ![What is kraft paper and why is it so popular?](https://info.primepac.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/What%20is%20kraft%20paper%20and%20why%20is%20it%20so%20popular%3F.png?width=555&height=416&name=What%20is%20kraft%20paper%20and%20why%20is%20it%20so%20popular%3F.png) Are you looking for packaging that’s sustainable and durable? Have you considered using kraft paper?  In this article, we explain what kraft paper is, how it differs from other types of paper packaging, and how it's used before explaining the Primepac range. ## What is kraft paper? [Kraft paper](https://www.primepac.co.nz/products/cartons-paper-protectives/wrapping-papers/kraft-paper/) is a strong brown paper that was developed in 1879 and named after the German word for “strength”. In the production process, wood chips are cooked using intense pressure, heat, and a mixture of alkaline chemicals. The cellulose is separated from the lignin in the wood, washed, and screened through large rollers. Then the kraft paper can be rolled, dried, cut down, and made into various packaging items. [Mondi Group | Speciality Kraft Paper production 3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5s3w8cvhkU)   ## Why consider Kraft paper? ### High strength Kraft paper is a highly durable material with incredible tear resistance. This makes it suitable for most applications, from supermarkets to warehouses to small business packaging. ### Cost-effective While still strong and durable, kraft paper products are considerably lightweight. This will ensure your products are protected during transit, whilst keeping your outwards shipping costs down. Primepac have Kraft Paper starting from just $38.20 per roll. [Find out more ›](https://info.primepac.co.nz/kraft-paper-packaging) ### Durability Another main advantage of using kraft paper is its durability. Kraft paper has immensely strong properties that provide greater durability than other conventional packing materials. It can withstand industrial pressures, such as moisture, heat, and cold, making it suitable for extreme environments, like the refrigerator. Also, it’s perfect for heavy products or sensitive goods, like jewellery or technology. ### Is kraft paper eco-friendly? Kraft paper is fully recyclable in any home recycling bin or local recycling facility. This makes it easy for you and your customers to dispose of it responsibly. The higher level of strength also means that kraft products can often be reused multiple times, offering a more sustainable packaging alternative to plastic bags and plastic-lined products. The production process for kraft paper is more sustainable because it requires fewer bleaching chemicals. What’s more, roughly [90%](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/kraft-process#:~:text=The%20resulting%20almost,H%C3%A4mmerle%2C%202011\).) of the pulping chemicals can be recovered and reused economically, having minimal environmental impact. ## Kraft paper packaging Kraft paper is incredibly versatile, due to its strength and flexibility. At Primepac, we supply a wide range of kraft paper packaging products, from bags and mailers to void fills and tape.
