Resources
Does kraft paper print in full colour?
Yes, but colours will look more muted because the paper is naturally brown. Dark inks, bold artwork, and high contrast designs tend to work best.
What designs work best on kraft paper?
Typography led layouts, line illustrations, and simple branding work particularly well. The natural base adds a rustic feel, so minimal colour palettes usually look more intentional.
