What Makes White Kraft Paper Different?
White kraft is the bleached form of custom kraft paper. The bleaching delivers a smooth, light surface that holds sharp detail and accurate color, so logos, gradients, and photographic artwork print cleaner than they do on a natural tone. It trades a small amount of raw strength for a noticeably better print result and a premium, polished finish.

Best Uses for White Kraft Paper
White kraft suits operations where presentation and color carry the brand:
- Premium retail and ecommerce — product wrap and unboxing with full-color branding
- Bakery and patisserie bags — clean white packaging for a polished counter look
- Cafés and dessert brands — bright grab-and-go wrap that photographs well
- Gift and boutique packaging — crisp, premium presentation for retail products
For maximum fibre strength and a rustic tone instead, choose brown kraft paper.
Printing on White Kraft
White kraft holds the widest color range of the kraft family. The smooth, bright base reproduces CMYK builds, PMS Pantone matches, gradients, and photographic detail with accuracy that brown stock cannot, so vibrant, multi-color designs land as intended. We print with food-safe inks and confirm color on a free proof before any run.
