Kraft Food Packaging

Kraft food packaging is made from durable and sustainable Kraft paperboard. Kraft paperboard is produced from wood pulp obtained from softwood, fast-growing trees like pine or spruce. The wood fibres undergo a chemical pulping process to break them down into pulp. This pulp is then processed and pressed to create sturdy sheets of Kraft paperboard. Kraft paperboard is known for its strength, resilience, and its resilience to moisture, making it an excellent choice for food packaging. Our Kraft packaging includes products made from paperboard, Kraftpak and fluted cardboard, all eco-friendly packaging materials derived from sustainable sources. Paperboard, also known as cardboard, is made from wood pulp fibres obtained from responsibly managed forests. This renewable resource ensures the production of paperboard does not contribute to deforestation. Fluted cardboard, commonly used in corrugated packaging, consists of a middle layer of fluted paper sandwiched between two outer layers of liner board. The fluted layer adds strength and cushioning properties to the cardboard. These materials are typically made from a combination of virgin and recycled fibres. Using recycled content helps minimise waste and conserve resources, while virgin fibres ensure the necessary strength and integrity of the packaging.

Kraft food trays are versatile containers suitable for various food items. They are commonly used for serving hot and cold foods, making them ideal for multiple culinary delights. From fast food favourites like burgers, sandwiches and hot dogs to fried snacks such as French fries and onion rings, Kraft food trays offer a convenient and eco-friendly option for easy handling and enjoyment.

These trays are also perfect for presenting salads, fresh produce, deli meats, cheeses, desserts and sweets. They provide an appealing display for items like fruit salads, charcuterie assortments, pastries and baked goods.

For our pizza boxes, we’ve innovatively reversed the arrangement of Kraft and test paper, positioning the Kraft paper on the inside of the box. This strategic adjustment allows the box to directly come in contact with food, resulting in significantly improved resistance to grease. The smooth texture of the virgin Kraft paper, with its densely packed fibres, forms a robust barrier that effectively prevents grease from permeating through the packaging. Because grease can’t soak in, our pizza boxes can be recycled without needing greaseproof paper (traditional cardboard pizza boxes contaminate recycling if greasy).

Kraft paper is an excellent choice for food packaging due to its strength, durability, and resistance to grease and moisture. It provides a protective barrier that keeps food fresh while being sustainable, as it is made from renewable sources and is biodegradable and recyclable. Kraft paper’s smooth surface allows for easy customisation and adaptation to different packaging structures and styles. It is considered safe for food contact, free from harmful chemicals and suitable for maintaining the safety and quality of packaged food.

Kraft paper is derived from renewable and responsibly managed sources like softwood trees. These trees can be replenished through sustainable forestry practices, ensuring a continuous supply of raw materials. Materials like plastic or polystyrene are derived from fossil fuels, contribute to resource depletion and persist in the environment for hundreds of years.  Kraft paper is biodegradable and compostable. It naturally breaks down into organic matter over time, reducing the environmental impact and waste accumulation. 

Kraft paper is also recyclable, allowing for the production of new paper products. The recycling process consumes less energy and generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions than manufacturing new materials. Kraft paper production typically involves fewer harmful chemicals and toxins compared to other packaging materials.
