Kraft paper labels are often chosen for their textured, earthy appearance—perfect for conveying a handmade, organic, or vintage brand image. But looks are only part of the story. We select kraft label stocks that also provide solid performance: good ink adhesion, optional writability, and strong bonding to cardboard, paper bags, glass jars, and more.
Our kraft labels are available in both uncoated and coated finishes, depending on your preference. The uncoated version supports handwriting or stamping, while the coated type offers slightly better moisture resistance.
Kraft paper is a natural, non-glossy material that brings warmth to packaging—but it does come with some limitations. As a label factory, we help you understand how to make the most of it:
✔️Suitable for dry or low-moisture environments – not recommended for refrigeration or oily surfaces
✔️Brown base color – rich tones like black, red, or dark green print well; light colors may not show accurately
✔️Writable – ideal for batch numbers, dates, or personalized notes
✔️Eco-conscious image – often used by sustainable brands or handmade products
✔️Custom die-cut available – round, oval, rectangle, or custom shapes
Kraft labels work especially well in these categories:
✔️Handmade Soap & Skincare – adds a warm, artisan touch
✔️Coffee & Tea Packaging – matches kraft bags, pouches, or tins
✔️Candles & Fragrance Products – natural paper pairs well with amber glass
✔️Eco-Friendly Packaging – recyclable materials for sustainable brands
✔️Baked Goods & Farmers Market Products – labels for paper boxes, jars, or takeaway containers
✔️Stationery & Gift Packaging – sticker seals or branding labels on kraft boxes
While kraft is usually chosen for its raw and simple feel, we can also offer:
✔️White ink printing – for logos or text that need to stand out on the brown base
✔️Hot foil stamping (gold, copper, black) – subtle luxury without losing the kraft character
✔️Embossing – add depth and dimension to logos
✔️Custom shapes – for better fit on curved or irregular packaging
Let us know the look you're aiming for—we’ll advise whether kraft is the right material or suggest alternatives that balance texture and function.
We’ve helped many brands achieve the perfect balance between sustainable aesthetics and labeling functionality. With 14 years of custom label production experience, we know when kraft paper is the right choice—and when another material may offer better performance. You can send us your design, and we’ll help select materials, adhesives, and finishes to match your product environment and packaging.
