Folded Kraft Leaflets Printing from StressFreePrint

When creating artwork for custom printed folded Kraft leaflets, you need to bear in mind that colours will appear much more muted than those printed onto white stock. Therefore, we don't generally recommend including photographs or gradients within your design as the colours will not look like those on your screen. Bold, simple designs tend to work best. Think retro line illustrations, typewriter fonts and dark colours which will contrast well against the brown Kraft paper.

Note our folded Kraft leaflets and flyers are printed in CMYK, so white elements within your design will appear as if they are transparent and take on the brown colouring of the Kraft stock. As with all folded leaflets, carefully plan the content you'd like to include so that you're able to select a size and fold that lends itself to your message and distribution method.

What is kraft paper?

Kraft paper is a type of paper made from recycled pulp, typically from unbleached sources. It has a natural, brown colour and a rough, textured finish. Folded kraft paper is often used in printing projects where a rustic, eco-friendly aesthetic is desired, such as promotional materials, menus and informational pamphlets. When used in printing, folded kraft paper is typically folded into a specific shape, such as a half-fold, C-fold, Z-fold, or cross-fold, in order to create a finished product.

What are the benefits of using folded kraft paper for printing?

Using folded kraft paper for printing has several benefits. One of the main benefits is that it is made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly choice compared to paper made from virgin pulp. Using folded kraft paper can help to reduce the demand for new trees to be cut down and decrease the overall environmental impact of the paper production process. In addition, the natural, rough appearance of folded kraft paper gives printed materials a unique, rustic look that can be appealing to certain audiences. Folded kraft paper can add a touch of authenticity and character to your printed materials, making them stand out from more traditional options.

What are some potential applications for folded kraft paper printing?

Folded kraft paper printing has a wide range of potential applications, including:

• Promotional materials: Folded kraft paper can be used to create flyers, brochures, and other promotional materials for businesses, events, or organizations. The rustic, eco-friendly aesthetic of kraft paper can be particularly appealing for companies or organizations with a focus on sustainability or a natural, organic brand image.


• Menus: Folded kraft paper is a popular choice for printing menus for restaurants, cafes, and other food-related businesses. The rough, textured finish of kraft paper can add a touch of character and authenticity to a menu, and it is also durable enough to withstand frequent handling.

The natural appearance of kraft paper can give these materials a personal, down-to-earth feel, which can be particularly effective for informational materials related to health, wellness, or other personal topics.


• Invitations and announcements: Folded kraft paper can be used to create invitations and announcements for weddings, parties, or other special occasions. The rustic, organic feel of kraft paper can add a unique, memorable touch to these materials.
