kraft postage boxes

kraft postage boxes are postal cartons made from natural brown kraft board, giving parcels a clean, honest look while protecting goods through the post. Custom Postal Boxes makes kraft postage boxes in the UK to your product sizes with printed branding, free design support and free UK delivery on every order.

Why sellers choose kraft postage boxes

Kraft board has a warm natural finish that suits handmade goods, organic products, clothing, candles and refill ranges, and it photographs well for online stores that sell on look as much as function. The board is strong for its weight, takes print cleanly in one or two colours, and is widely recycled by households, which many customers actively look for when they choose where to shop.

A postage box earns its keep by fitting the postal format as well as the product. Slim kraft postal boxes can keep flat goods within large letter limits when the packed parcel stays under 353 by 250 by 25 millimetres and 750 grams, while deeper boxes serve small parcel orders. Sizing the box to the format, rather than hoping a stock carton qualifies, keeps postage predictable across a whole catalogue.

Print and board options for kraft postage boxes

Black or white print on natural kraft gives a striking simple result, and full colour print can add a brand panel or pattern where a bolder look is needed. See our kraft postal boxes for the core range and our kraft mailer boxes for the mailer format in the same natural board. Single wall board suits most everyday parcels, with stronger grades available for heavier goods.

Keeping the natural look consistent

Kraft board varies slightly in shade between batches because it is a natural material, so bold simple artwork stays consistent where very fine colour matching would show variation. Our design team will advise on artwork that prints reliably on kraft, including reversed out text and simple line illustrations.

Sealing kraft boxes neatly

Paper tape suits the natural look and keeps the whole parcel recyclable in one stream for many households. If you use a self seal style, the strip closes the box quickly at the bench and leaves a clean top panel for your print and the postage label.

Ordering kraft postage boxes for your range

List the products you post most, with their packed sizes and weights, and we will suggest a compact range of box sizes that covers them. Low minimum order quantities suit small brands and seasonal sellers, and pricing depends on size, material and quantity, so request a quote through our contact page for your sizes. Free design support will help adapt your logo and artwork for kraft board.

Kraft sits within our wider kraft boxes category if you want matching product cartons and postage boxes in the same finish. Using one board family across shelf and post gives customers a joined up brand experience from product page to doorstep.

Storing and handling kraft board

Store boxes flat in a dry place, because board absorbs moisture from damp air and loses stiffness. Keep printed faces protected from scuffing by stacking evenly, and use the oldest stock first so shade and board condition stay consistent across customer orders.

FAQs about kraft postage boxes

Are kraft postage boxes strong enough for everyday posting?

Yes. Kraft corrugated and carton boards are chosen by grade for the weight they carry, and everyday parcels travel well in a right sized kraft box. Heavier goods can use a stronger board grade.

Can I print in colour on natural kraft board?

Yes. Simple bold designs print best on kraft, including black, white and full colour panels. Free design support helps adapt your artwork so colours and text stay clear on the natural board.

Will a kraft postage box fit Royal Mail large letter size?

Slim sizes can, provided the finished parcel stays within 353 by 250 by 25 millimetres and 750 grams. Measure the packed parcel and we can size a box to the format you need.

Are kraft postage boxes recyclable?

Kraft board is widely recycled by UK households, and paper tape keeps the parcel simpler to recycle than plastic tape. Check local guidance if you add any non paper elements to the parcel.
