Kraft Paper uses in Flexible Packaging

Kraft paper in flexible pouches Paper thickness conversion chart

Historically Kraft paper was used in flexible pouches merely as an esthetic preference. Recently Kraft paper has also become popular when combined with compostable bioplastics of any paper color, micro format or otherwise, to create compostable pouches. Kraft paper comes in bleached white, or natural kraft brown. The exact color of kraft paper varies between lots and sources.

45 GSM Kraft Paper

45 GSM kraft paper is best for gusseted pouches because the paper is more flexible than thicker papers, which will allow the gusset to open, and develop less creases in the paper. If you're moving to roll foils or standing pouches, this is the Kraft paper material we recommend. 

60 GSM Kraft Paper

60 GSM kraft paper is another common thickness which will have a more textured feeling when touched. 60 GSM paper is stiffer than 45 GSM, but generally converts well for most pouches. Overall, 60 GSM is very balanced and you'll notice it provides a good balance between stiffness, thickness, cost, and how it feels to the touch. 

70 GSM Kraft Paper

70 GSM is typically used for box bottom and side gusseted pouches. 70 GSM Kraft paper is typically laminated to metalized PET and PE to create a rigid box bottom bag. If you've ever handled a paper bag that is stiff enough to stand upright, you're likely using a paper bag crafted from 70 GSM. 

80 GSM Kraft Paper

80 GSM Kraft paper is typically not used for most flexible pouches because the paper is too thick and will create a ridgid pouch which will wrinkle easily and doesn't conform well to other materials. Regardless, we are including it here as reference in case one of our customers does wish to use 80 GSM Kraft paper.

CareKraft-KAP

Overview

This FDA approved film is used extensively in food industry where good MVTR and OTR is required and easy entry into pouch is necessary. The brown natural Kraft exterior makes the structure rigid, but it tears easily in both directions. The foil provides excellent barrier to extend shelf life and protect the taste profile. The polyethylene sealant layer is extruded brown to mask the color of the foil. This unique design element makes the PF500 BRN a good fit for customers that do not want to see foil in their packaging but need the protection that it exhibits. 


It can be converted in many ways: 2-seal pouch, 3-seal pouch, side gusset, stand up pouch and tubing. Features include: recloseable zipper, tear notch, round hang hole, and sombrero hang hole. The PF500 BRN can also be surface printed and is available to web widths of 48”. 

Note: The performance of any film will be influenced by a number of factors and testing must always be performed to ensure the film meets the use.

CareKraft-KP

Overview

This FDA approved film does not stretch due to the orientation of the layers during the lamination process. Great for Food and industrial uses, The kraft paper can be either White or Brown kraft and is combined with a heat sealable PE liner. This is a low barrier product which is best suited for shelf stable products that do not require high barrier packaging to extend its shelf life. 

Note: The performance of any film will be influenced by a number of factors and testing must always be performed to ensure the film meets the use.

This material has high barrier to moisture vapor and oxygen but low physical strength and the unprocessed paper exterior can crack and crinkle, and tear easily, and must be handled and stored with more care than a plastic product. The natural paper exterior is subject to natural variations in color, texture, and all visual elements between each lot.

CareKraft KAP Foil CareKraft-KP

CareKraft-KAP

The brown natural Kraft exterior makes the structure rigid, but it tears easily in both directions. The foil provides excellent barrier to extend shelf life and protect the taste profile. The polyethylene sealant layer is extruded brown to mask the color of the foil. This unique design element makes the PF500 BRN a good fit for customers that do not want to see foil in their packaging but need the protection that it exhibits.
