Recycled Brown Kraft Wrapping Paper Roll 80gsm, 600mm wide, 50m long

Kraft Wrapping Paper

Kraft wrapping paper is one of the most sustainable packaging materials available. Made from wood pulp using the kraft process, a method that produces strong, tear-resistant paper, it’s the go-to choice for businesses and individuals who want to wrap beautifully without the environmental cost of plastic-lined or laminated alternatives.

At BuyEcoGreen, our kraft wrapping paper is made from 100% recycled fibres, sourced right here in Australia. Every roll and sheet is fully compostable, curbside recyclable, and completely plastic-free.

What Is Kraft Paper Used For?

Gift wrapping: the classic rustic brown look, perfect with twine, stamps, or dried flowers.

Retail packaging: professional, eco-conscious wrapping for small businesses and e-commerce.

Shipping protection: void fill, interleaving layers, and outer wrap for parcels.

Arts and crafts: drawing, scrapbooking, table runners, and classroom projects.

Food wrapping: unbleached kraft is food-safe for wrapping bread, cheese, and deli items.

Kraft Paper GSM Guide

GSM (grams per square metre) tells you how thick and sturdy the paper is. Here’s how to pick the right weight:

• 50-65 GSM (Lightweight): Gift wrapping, tissue-style interleaving, crafts
• 70-80 GSM (Standard): Everyday wrapping paper, retail packaging, general use
• 90-120 GSM (Heavy duty): Shipping wrap, protective layers, bags, heavy parcels

Kraft Paper vs Butcher Paper vs Tissue Paper

All three are popular for wrapping, but they serve different purposes. Kraft paper is the sturdiest. It resists tearing and holds its shape, making it ideal for wrapping gifts and parcels. Butcher paper is typically coated on one side for moisture resistance, making it ideal for food. Tissue paper is the lightest option, suited for delicate items and decorative layers inside gift bags.
