Kraft paper outside, engineered laminate inside — natural shelf appeal without sacrificing freshness.
Products with visible texture — nuts, granola, cookies — convert better when shoppers can see them; window size and shape are yours to design.
Tear notch for first opening, zipper for every one after — the standard for pantry-resident snacks.
Kraft's recyclable image supports eco-positioning; mono-PE and paper-based structures available for stricter claims.
Single-color prints on kraft have a distinctive handmade feel — ideal for small-batch brands testing the market.

Kraft-look bags combine a paper outer with a food-contact inner liner for grease and moisture resistance. Every order runs through incoming material inspection, in-line print and seal checks, and a final AQL sampling inspection before packing. Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities. Certification is held by our manufacturing partners, and test reports for migration, seal strength and barrier performance can be issued with your shipment on request.
Two production routes to fit different run sizes and budgets:
| Print route | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Digital printing | From 5,000 pcs per design | Artisan and small-batch brands wanting a kraft look |
| Rotogravure printing | From 10,000 pcs per design | Lowest unit cost at volume, up to 10 colours |
All prices are quoted per design, so mix SKUs freely inside the same run. Trade terms are FOB Shantou, with CIF and DDP available on request.
The kraft layer is the exterior; a food-grade PE or barrier layer contacts the food — standard structure for kraft stand-up bags.
The window area is engineered into the laminate; overall barrier performance is specified per product and tested per batch.
Kraft/PE structures are recyclable in markets with film collection; mono-PE versions improve recyclability further. We advise per market.
Typically modestly more; the natural look often earns it back in positioning. We quote both for comparison.
Yes — white ink underprint is available for vivid colors on the brown surface.
