Here’s a little history lesson. Kraft was originally invented in Germany in 1879 by Carl F. Dahl. The word “Kraft” is German for “strength,” a meaning that rings true to its quality durability and its force on the shelves. In fact, 80% of the paper produced in the world is Kraft-based. That’s pretty ubiquitous.

The gritty, brown, sandy aesthetics and rough texture of this paper medium generates a bold statement.

Do you want your product to appear especially unique and valuable? Kraft paper packaging also suggests that special handmade “artisan” feel. The unrefined “brick and mortar” process of making Kraft paper is apparent – there’s no covering up with gloss and bleach. The hard work and grit of a persevering artisan is suggestive in Kraft’s durability and grainy imperfections. Any customer will appreciate a product that appears individually crafted with care, and Kraft gives your product that distinction.

As a consumer, wouldn’t you trust a product that appears so down-to-earth and transparent, honestly authentic and clearly confident? Tip: use color in few accents to highlight the most important points.
