Hi!
That sounds like a great initiative—focusing on sustainability is always a win! I've worked with custom-printed Kraft paper for packaging before, and it's an excellent choice for eco-friendly branding. Here are a few tips based on my experience:
Ask for Samples: Before committing, request samples to check the print quality, paper thickness, and overall feel. It’s essential for maintaining your brand's standards.
Certifications: Look for suppliers offering FSC-certified Kraft paper to ensure it’s sourced responsibly.
Printing Options: Check if the service offers water-based or soy-based inks, as they’re more environmentally friendly.
Durability: If your packaging will carry heavier items, inquire about reinforced Kraft options or laminated versions (still recyclable).
For sourcing, you might also want to explore local suppliers to reduce shipping impact. Some larger online marketplaces, like Noissue or EcoEnclose, specialize in sustainable packaging materials and could be worth checking out.
Good luck with your project—I’d love to see how your packaging turns out!
