Kraft packaging by industry
Every category has one constraint that decides everything else. Regulatory panel space, grease barrier, glass protection, oxygen barrier. These pages start from that constraint.
Beauty and cosmetics
Beauty brands typically need a slim tuck-end kraft carton around each unit and a kraft mailer for direct-to-consumer shipping. The constraint that drives the spec is INCI ingredient copy, which needs more panel space than most designers plan for.
Coffee and tea
Coffee needs a one-way degassing valve and a barrier matched to its roast-to-shelf window. Tea has a lower barrier requirement, which is why compostable kraft structures work well for tea and involve a real trade-off for coffee.
Candles and home
Candle packaging is a glass-protection problem before it is a design problem. A rigid or E-flute box with a fitted moulded pulp insert, shipped inside a corrugated outer, is the structure that survives a carrier network.
Supplements
Supplement packaging is constrained by the Supplement Facts panel, which has a mandated format and minimum type sizes. The carton has to be sized around that panel and around the bottle, in that order.
Food and beverage
Food and beverage packaging has to be food-contact grade and, increasingly, PFAS-free. Kraft Boxes runs no PFAS-based grease barriers, using clay coatings, water-based dispersions or PLA lamination depending on how wet and greasy the contents are.
Apparel
Apparel ships soft, compressible goods, so the packaging question is usually whether a kraft mailer box is worth the cost over a paper mailer bag. The answer depends on whether the unboxing matters and whether the item gets returned.
