[China Packaging Network News] Kraft paper is widely used as a packaging material due to its high strength and typically yellow-brown color. One common application is in the production of kraft boxes. These boxes are made from sulfate coniferous wood pulp, which undergoes beating and is then formed into sheets on a Fourdrinier paper machine. Kraft paper is versatile and finds use in various applications such as cement sack paper, envelope paper, plastic sealing paper, asphalt paper, cable protective paper, and insulating paper.
1. In the food industry, kraft paper is commonly used for packaging. If you've ever visited KFC or McDonald's, you might have noticed the presence of kraft paper in their packaging. These fast-food chains use food-grade kraft paper, which is lightweight—typically around 40 grams per square meter. Made entirely from wood pulp, it must meet strict food-grade standards. This type of kraft paper has been popular for over a century due to its durability, affordability, and ease of use in box manufacturing.
2. In the IT sector, one of the most classic examples is the Xiaomi phone box. As Xiaomi phones gained popularity, so did their packaging. The kraft paper used for these boxes is thick, has a distinctive color, and offers excellent burst resistance, ensuring that the phone remains safe during transportation. These boxes can withstand hundreds of kilograms of pressure without deforming. Haobainian Paper Group is also a key supplier of kraft paper and corrugated board for Xiaomi phone cases.
These examples illustrate how kraft paper is used in different industries. Beyond these, there are many other classic applications of kraft paper in various sectors. Its advantages stem from its properties: it is recyclable, cost-effective, and easy to print on without requiring a protective film, which helps reduce overall costs.
