Natural kraft corrugated board

Natural kraft corrugated board

Grounded's corrugated board with natural kraft surface is made from FSC certified post-consumer recycled paper. It is renewable, kerbside recyclable and has a lower carbon footprint than virgin paper. Colours printed on natural kraft paper appear more muted so if you require a vibrant print choose the natural white or coated white board. Suitable for use across a range of formats in e-commerce and retail.
