Kraft soap boxes in natural brown board
Kraft board is unbleached, so it keeps its brown colour and a visible paper fibre. It suits handmade, natural and low waste brands because the pack looks like what the brand says it is: plain, honest and made from paper.
Print on kraft works best when it is bold. Dark inks read clearly, white ink gives a clean contrast, and one or two colours usually beat a photograph, which turns dark and warm on brown board. The three styles below cover the window box, the square bar and the classic tuck end box.

How to choose
- Print colours
- Black, deep green and other dark inks print strongly on kraft. White ink is available for logos and text that need to lift off the brown.
- Full colour
- Possible, but every colour shifts warmer and darker. If an exact brand colour matters, we say so at proof stage and suggest white board instead.
- Window
- A window in kraft shows the bar and suits coloured and swirled soaps. Keep a good border of board round it so the panel stays stiff.
- Finish
- Kraft boxes are usually left uncoated, which keeps the matt paper feel. Ask if you want a coating for bars with a high oil content.
Kraft boxes: common questions
Is kraft board recycled or recyclable?
Kraft board is paper board and is widely recycled in the UK when clean. Whether a given board is made from recycled fibre depends on the stock quoted, so ask in your request and the quote will state it.
Can you print my logo in white on kraft?
Yes. White ink on brown board is one of the most popular kraft looks. Send the logo and we show it on the template at proof stage.
Will the soap mark the box?
A dry, cured bar will not. Very soft or oil rich bars can mark uncoated board over time, so tell us about your recipe and we advise on a lining or coating.
