Custom Kraft Mylar Bags
Kraft mylar bags put a natural brown paper surface on the outside of a fully protective pouch. They suit organic, artisan, small-batch and farm-to-table brands that want packaging that looks handmade and honest, while still keeping the product fresh with a barrier layer and food-safe lining inside.
We print custom kraft pouches with your logo and artwork, with zippers, windows and tear notches.
How Kraft Pouches Are Built
The outer layer is kraft paper, either natural brown or bleached white. Behind it is a barrier film (metallized PET or foil) and a food-grade polyethylene inner layer for the seals. You get the look and feel of paper with the protection of a mylar bag.
Printing on Kraft
Brown kraft absorbs color, so dark inks and bold logos look best. For bright colors, we print a layer of white ink underneath your artwork, or you can choose white kraft paper. One- and two-color designs on natural kraft are especially popular because they keep costs low and look intentionally simple.
Popular Options
- A clear window to show granola, coffee beans or tea leaves.
- Press-to-close zipper and tear notches.
- Flat bottom or stand-up styles.
- One-way valve for coffee.
Is Kraft Recyclable?
Most kraft pouches are laminated to a plastic lining, so they are not curbside recyclable. If recyclability is your priority, choose our recyclable pouches. If you want a plant-based option, see compostable bags.
Getting the Most From Kraft
Kraft looks best when the design embraces the paper rather than hiding it. Let the brown show through in large areas, and use one or two strong colors such as black, white, deep green or burgundy for your logo and text. Hand-drawn illustrations, stamp-style logos and simple typography suit kraft especially well.
If you want a cleaner, brighter base with the same paper texture, choose white kraft. It takes full color well while keeping a natural, uncoated feel.
Barrier Choices
Kraft pouches can be made with a metallized barrier for everyday products or a foil barrier for coffee, tea and products that need a long shelf life. Ask about a valve if you are packing freshly roasted coffee.
Questions Customers Ask
Does kraft paper get damaged by moisture?
The paper is on the outside, so heavy moisture can mark it. Inside, the barrier and lining keep your product dry.
Can I use a valve on a kraft bag?
Yes. Kraft bags with a valve are a favorite for coffee roasters.
Is white kraft more expensive?
Only slightly. White kraft prints colors more brightly while keeping the paper texture.
