Natural Kraft Board Packaging: A Leader in Sustainable Packaging Solutions

Introduction

Eco Awareness Drives Demand for Sustainable Packaging Solutions

With global awareness of environmental protection on the rise, consumers and businesses alike are increasingly seeking sustainable packaging solutions. This shift has driven demand for packaging materials that are renewable, recyclable, and produced with minimal environmental impact. Among the most popular choices are natural kraft board and coated kraft back (CKB), both widely adopted in food, retail, and industrial sectors.

Market studies indicate that packaging with a natural appearance and low environmental footprint is becoming more favorable than traditional bleached and coated alternatives.

Understanding CKB and Natural Kraft Food Board

Coated Kraft Back (CKB) is a paperboard product made using minimal chemical bleaching. It maintains strong mechanical properties while offering a lightly coated surface suitable for packaging and light printing.

Key Features of CKB:

• Environmentally responsible, made from FSC-certified virgin wood pulp
• High tear and fold strength, suitable for heavy-duty and secondary packaging applications

In contrast, natural kraft food board is developed specifically for food-contact packaging. Made from unbleached virgin pulp and free from chemical brighteners, it meets stringent safety and sustainability standards.

Advantages of Natural Kraft Food Board:

• Certified for direct food contact under FDA, EU, and other international food safety guidelines
• Maintains a natural paper color, reinforcing brand values like purity and health

Why Natural Kraft Is Preferred Over CKB

Although CKB remains a strong choice for many packaging needs, natural kraft board has gained broader market appeal due to its environmental and commercial advantages:

• Lower carbon emissions from the absence or reduction of bleaching steps
• A more authentic, eco-conscious appearance, especially appealing to younger and environmentally aware consumers
• Reduced long-term production costs due to simplified processing

These features make natural kraft board an ideal material for brands looking to implement sustainable packaging solutions without compromising functionality or visual quality.
