Brown Wrapping & Kraft Paper FAQs
Is kraft paper the same as khaki or brown paper?
Yes. Brown kraft paper is the brown wrapping paper often called khaki paper in Kenya. It is made from unbleached pulp, which keeps the fibres long and makes it much stronger than white paper of the same weight.
What gsm brown paper should I use for parcels?
Use 70gsm for light wrapping and void fill, 90gsm for general parcels and 120gsm when you need extra tear resistance for heavier items.
Should I buy kraft paper in rolls or sheets?
Rolls are cheaper for regular wrapping at a packing table. Sheets are easier for occasional parcels, covering school books and craft projects.
Brown Wrapping Paper in Kenya
Brown kraft paper is made from unbleached sulphate pulp, which keeps the long fibres intact and gives it far higher tear resistance than white paper of the same weight. That strength is why it remains the default for parcels, void fill and protective wrapping.
Rolls or sheets
Rolls are more economical for continuous wrapping at a packing bench. Sheets are easier to handle for occasional parcels and for craft and school use.
Weights
60–80gsm suits light gift wrapping and void fill. 90–120gsm is the general packaging range. Above 150gsm the stock behaves like a board and is used for tags, carrier bags and rigid protection.
