natural kraft paper
Natural kraft paper is a versatile and sustainable packaging material derived from unbleached wood pulp, characterized by its distinctive brown color and robust fiber structure. This eco-friendly paper undergoes minimal chemical processing, maintaining the natural strength of wood fibers while offering superior durability and tear resistance. The manufacturing process involves treating wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, which preserves the paper's inherent strength while ensuring environmental compatibility. Natural kraft paper typically features grammage ranging from 40 to 200 GSM, making it suitable for various applications. It excels in packaging solutions, including shopping bags, wrapping paper, and industrial packaging. The material's natural porosity allows for excellent printability while maintaining breathability, making it ideal for food packaging and storage. Its moisture-resistant properties and high burst strength make it particularly valuable in shipping and protective packaging applications. The paper's uncoated surface provides good friction properties, essential for stable stacking and transportation.
