With our increasingly greener world nowadays, consumers and companies alike seek out green substitutes for conventional packaging. And within those substitutes, food product packaging has seen its own phenomenal surge in popularity with the food box, especially ones made of Kraft paper. So what exactly is a Kraft paper food box, and why did this particular solution get so top-of-mind demanded for such a wide array of food offerings?
The demand for Kraft paper food boxes is due to various reasons. First and foremost, their intrinsic food packaging advantages are quite obvious. They provide great protection to the inside, keeping the food safe while being transported. The toughness of Kraft paper also qualifies it as a good insulator, keeping hot foods hot for a decent period of time and cold foods cold for the same period of time.
Aside from functionality, Kraft paper food boxes are also appealing as they are environmentally friendly. With the world growing more conscious of the environmental impact of one-time uses of plastics, Kraft paper offers an easily compostable and biodegradable option. This is highly in accordance with the increasing call for eco-friendly solutions.
Aside from this, Kraft paper's natural brown tone builds a natural and eco-friendly perception, which appeals to companies that would want to convey an eco-friendly image.
How Kraft Paper is Produced?
Kraft process, which is a standard process of producing paper, starts with wood chips, presumably pine or fir softwood trees.
These wood chips are then heated to high pressure and temperature within a chemical solution called "white liquor," which consists of sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide. This dissolves the lignin, a type of complex polymer that holds the cellulose fibers in wood together. Its dissolution leads to the release and formation of pulp by cellulose fibers.
The pulp produced is then washed to remove the spent chemicals and residual lignin. Compared to some other paper manufacturing processes, the Kraft process is quite efficient in recovering and recycling the chemicals, contributing to its own sustainability.
Depending on what is required to be done, such as making packaging boxes for solid food or a sturdy takeaway lunch box from kraft paper, the Kraft paper may be subjected to further processing. These are treatments like sizing to improve water resistance or calendering for higher smoothness finish. Whatever, the inherent strength and natural structure from the Kraft process take precedence as the essential features making it a very good material for strong and sustainable food box packaging.
