01 — Definition

Kraft paper packaging is flexible packaging using an FSC-certified kraft paper outer layer laminated with a functional inner barrier — PE, bio-PE or PLA — for moisture protection. Tansox manufactures kraft flexible packaging for hygiene and personal care brands who need the natural brown paper aesthetic associated with sustainable packaging, combined with the barrier and print quality needed for real-world hygiene product applications.

02 — Why It Matters

The numbers behind the switch.

Kraft packaging gives buyers a familiar sustainable look while still requiring responsible sourcing, print control and functional barrier performance.

#1
recognised

Kraft paper is the most widely recognised sustainable packaging material by end consumers globally

The natural paper aesthetic communicates sustainability quickly on shelf while still allowing premium print and pouch formats.

required

FSC-certified kraft ensures responsible forest sourcing — a key requirement for EU market entry and retailer sustainability programmes

Chain-of-custody documentation supports buyer requirements for responsible sourcing and retailer compliance.

Functional
barrier

Kraft + PE laminates combine natural aesthetics with the moisture barrier performance hygiene products require

The kraft outer provides the paper look, while inner PE, bio-PE or foil layers provide the protection needed for hygiene applications.

08 — Frequently Asked

Questions buyers ask before quote.

Yes. Tansox's kraft + PE laminates provide the moisture barrier required for hygiene products — sanitary pads, wet wipes, baby care and underpads. The kraft outer gives the natural paper aesthetic while the PE inner maintains the functional barrier needed for shelf life and product protection. For higher-sensitivity products, kraft + foil laminate structures are available.

Yes. Tansox offers FSC Chain of Custody certified kraft paper options for buyers requiring documented responsible sourcing. FSC certification confirms the kraft paper comes from responsibly managed forests and follows the supply chain through to the finished pouch. Confirm FSC certificate scope with the sales team when requesting a quote.

Tansox prints kraft packaging using flexographic and gravure printing, up to 10 colours, with Pantone colour matching. Kraft paper has a natural brown base tone that affects colour reproduction — light colours may be affected. White kraft structures are available for brands needing full-colour fidelity. Our pre-press team will advise on colour proofing before production.
