What You Need to Know About Food-Grade Kraft Board

Food-grade Kraft board, also known as food-safe Kraft board or food packaging board, is a type of paperboard specifically designed and manufactured for use in food packaging applications.

It is made from virgin wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring purity and safety for direct contact with food items.

Properties of Food-Grade Kraft Board

Strength and Durability: Kraft board is known for its exceptional strength and durability, providing reliable protection for food items during storage, handling, and transportation. Its sturdy construction helps prevent damage and maintains product integrity, ensuring that food products reach consumers in pristine condition.

Grease and Moisture Resistance: Food-grade Kraft board is typically coated with a thin layer of moisture-resistant material, such as polyethylene (PE) or wax, to provide a barrier against grease, oil, and moisture. This coating helps prevent leakage and ensures that packaged food items remain fresh and appetizing for longer periods.

Printability: Kraft board offers excellent printability, allowing for vibrant graphics, branding, and product information to be displayed prominently on the packaging. Whether it’s bold colors, intricate designs, or detailed product descriptions, food-grade Kraft board provides a visually appealing canvas for showcasing food products and attracting consumers’ attention.

Environmental Sustainability: Made from renewable resources and biodegradable materials, Kraft board is inherently sustainable and can be recycled or composted after use. By choosing food-grade Kraft board packaging, food manufacturers can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
