Printed kraft paper bags

Unbleached brown kraft is where most Australian retailers land: it takes a logo cleanly, it carries weight, and it goes out with the paper recycling.

What it is

kraft paper bags, in practice

Kraft is the stock, not the shape. The same paper runs as a twisted handle bag on a retail counter, a flat-handled takeaway bag, or a heavier rope-handle bag for a premium line. What changes is the board weight and how the handle is fixed.

Brown kraft prints best in one or two colours. The paper is warm and slightly textured, so pale solids sit flat rather than glowing. Where the artwork is photographic, white kraft or a coated board holds it far better and we will say so at the quote rather than let it print dull.

Weight is chosen around the load: 180gsm for small retail, 200gsm for clothing and gifting, 250gsm once bottles, boxes or a full shop are involved.

Questions

Before you order

+ Is brown kraft strong enough for heavy items?
At 200-250gsm with a twisted or rope handle, yes. Tell us the weight and whether the bag has to stand open and the stock is specified around that.
+ Can I print full colour on brown kraft?
You can, but the paper tints everything slightly warm. For photographic work, white kraft or coated board gives a truer result.
+ Are kraft bags recyclable?
Uncoated kraft goes in household paper recycling. A laminate changes that, so ask us for the stock specification on your job.
