Custom kraft gift boxes are printed cartons in brown or white kraft board, built to present a gift with a natural, recyclable feel.
Kraft board is a strong, unbleached paperboard measured in points, so kraft gift boxes stay light and fold flat like any carton. Brown kraft gives the classic earthy look, while white kraft offers a cleaner canvas that still reads natural. For premium eco gifts, we also wrap rigid greyboard in kraft paper. The material recycles easily and pairs well with soy-based inks and minimal printing.
Kraft gift boxes suit handmade makers, organic and wellness brands, and eco-conscious retailers.
Handmade and small-batch makers use the zero-MOQ policy to launch a natural product with no wasted stock, and organic and wellness brands use kraft to signal clean ingredients. Eco-conscious retailers choose recyclable packaging to match their values, and subscription brands use kraft for a warm, grounded unboxing. Kraft suits candles, soaps, cosmetics, food gifts and craft products alike.
Kraft gift boxes are cut to any product, and the chart below shows the most requested dimensions.
| Box size (L x W x H) | Fits | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 4 x 4 x 2 in | Soaps, candles, small gifts | Handmade retail gifts |
| 6 x 6 x 3 in | Candles, mugs, small sets | Gift and retail sets |
| 8 x 6 x 3 in | Multi-item natural sets | Wellness and food gifts |
| 10 x 8 x 3 in | Larger bundles | Eco hampers and kits |
These are starting points, not limits. Each kraft box is cut around the exact product, with inserts and custom dimensions on request, so contents stay put and the box folds flat for storage.
Kraft gift boxes use brown or white kraft board in points, with a kraft-wrapped rigid upgrade in millimetres for premium sets.
| Material / board | Weight or thickness | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Brown kraft carton | 14-24pt (350-500 GSM) | Classic natural gifting |
| White kraft carton | 14-24pt | Cleaner natural look |
| Recycled cardstock | 14-24pt | Eco printed gifts |
| Kraft-wrapped rigid greyboard | 1.5-2mm | Premium eco keepsakes |
Kraft cartons are measured in points and fold flat, while a kraft-wrapped rigid box uses greyboard in millimetres for a premium eco keepsake. We offer FSC-certified and recycled kraft with soy-based inks, and we keep sustainability claims specific in line with the FTC Green Guides.
We print kraft boxes by two methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.
| Printing method | Best for | Main strength |
|---|---|---|
| Offset printing | Larger runs, brand-color consistency | Sharpest detail, steady color at scale |
| Digital printing | Short runs, samples, seasonal drops | No plates, fast and affordable |
Offset printing holds a natural palette steady across a large run, while digital keeps a short or sample run fast and affordable with no plate charges. Kraft takes ink with a warm, muted tone, so we confirm how colors will read on your proof.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
Finishes on kraft stay understated, and most brands keep it natural with one restrained accent.
| Finish | Effect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Uncoated natural kraft | Clean, recyclable matte feel | Eco and handmade gifts |
| Foil stamping (gold, copper, black) | Metallic accent on kraft | Premium natural gifts |
| Spot UV / raised UV | Subtle gloss accent | Logos on white kraft |
| Embossing / debossing | Raised or recessed texture | Tactile, artisan feel |
Most kraft boxes are left uncoated for a clean, recyclable finish, and a single foil or embossed logo adds just enough polish without losing the natural look. Heavy lamination is usually skipped to keep the box easy to recycle.
Inserts and add-ons keep the gift in place and complete the natural presentation.
| Insert / add-on | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Molded-pulp / paperboard tray | Plastic-free cavity support | Candles, soaps, sets |
| Kraft dividers | Separate multiple items | Multi-item natural sets |
| Crinkle-paper fill | Eco cushioning and reveal | Handmade and hamper gifts |
| Jute ribbon, kraft window, printed insert | Natural presentation | Retail and gift boxes |
A molded-pulp tray or kraft dividers keep items aligned without plastic, crinkle-paper fill cushions a hamper, and a jute ribbon finishes the natural look.
