Paper packaging guide

Brown wrapping paper is very strong and relatively coarse. Kraft paper is usually brown in colour.

Kraft paper is widely available in both sheet and roll form. Kraft paper is manufactured using a technique called the kraft process which involves treatment of wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide that break the bonds that link lignin to the cellulose.

Kraft paper is used for brown paper bags, wrapping, envelopes and other packaging.
