Kraft paper is made using a chemical process that converts wood into wood pulp. So how is it put into use in the packaging and printing industry? Kraft pulp is extracted at high temperature and then steamed, separated, heated, and other production processes to form kraft paper.
In the packaging industry, the kraft paper rolls are fed, folded, pressed, and cut through a kraft paper making machine. The cut kraft paper rolls can be used for Ranpak or Storopack's smart paper pad machines to be processed into strong and durable kraft paper pads, which are often used to package and transport items to ensure that they can be safely delivered to consumers.
