What thickness best suits your application?Here is our recommendation:
DD30 30lb or DD40 40lb; Light weight, for light to medium duty use wrapping, ideal for the picture framing and artwork industry, or simply used as void-fill.
DD50 50lb or DD60 60lb; Use for medium to heavy duty requirements including sign wrapping.
DD80 80lb: Extra heavy duty, used to protect floors and other surfaces.

Looking for a smoother sheet with greater tear strength than recycled kraft paper?
Virgin kraft is a very smooth, unrecycled natural kraft paper which has higher tear strength than recycled kraft paper. Contact our sales team for more details and availabilty on this item.

Wrapping Metal Products?
VCI kraft paper offers rust protection, see VCI Kraft Paper.

Looking for a more economic alternative?
See newsprint paper packaging.

Use tissue, newsprint, kraft or VCI paper packaging materials as protective wrapping papers or crumple for economic void-fill.

• Tissue Paper is the most economic paper packaging option, available in sheets for fragile applications requiring soft void-fill or cushioning.  Tissue Paper is the softest and most lightweight paper packaging, offering the most delicate and cost-effective protection. Tissue paper is available acid-free for long-term storage applications or for protection of valuable heirlooms, wedding dresses or leather items.

• Newsprint is available in both rolls and sheets, it’s thickness offering a greater level of protection than tissue paper. Newsprint is a smooth, white, recycled, inexpensive paper, not only used for printing newspapers and other mass publications. In the packaging industry newsprint rolls and sheets are used to wrap items for shipment or storage, line trays or separate grouped items, and crumpled as void-filler in cartons. 
• Kraft paper is a more robust option than newsprint, recycled kraft paper is a more environmentally friendly option than virgin kraft paper, however virgin kraft is sometimes required when a smoother finish or superior tear strength is required or for food packaging applications. Virgin kraft paper as the name describes has no recycled content, while recycled kraft paper is 100% recycled, therefore environmentally friendly, low-cost, all-purpose packaging material. Kraft paper is lightweight but sturdy enough for industrial and commercial uses including void fill for cushioning, wrapping for surface protection from scrapes and scratches, or even layering between palletized items. Both virgin kraft paper and recycled kraft paper are recyclable, kraft paper can be recycled up to seven times. For more details on Virgin Kraft Paper contact our sales team.
• VCI paper is made from high quality kraft paper saturated with vapour corrosion inhibitor chemistry, it is designed to protect metal components in enclosed spaces or packages from rust, by slowly releasing a corrosion protective compound into the air. VCI kraft paper is used as an alternative to petroleum-based rust preventatives, the chemicals saturated into the paper produce invisible barriers to prevent moisture, oxygen and other corrosive elements from attacking metal surfaces that would otherwise cause rust or corrosion. VCI paper is a clean rust preventative option, and reduces labour as no degreasing cleaning is required after unpacking, before the item can be used.

The kraft pulping process was invented by Carl F Dahl in 1879, resulting in the kraft paper we use today.
