Kraft Paper Business Cards

Kraft colour becomes part of the design background. Match the logo, small text and QR code to the actual brown surface; assess white layers, finishing and environmental attributes separately.

Kraft: Background, Contrast and Material Evidence

Kraft-coloured stock contributes its own background to the design, so white areas in a file do not automatically print white. Review logo contrast, photographs and QR codes against the actual sheet colour. Ask whether a separate white layer is required and available for the chosen process, and assess any environmental claim using documentation for that specific stock.

A white area left in artwork normally reveals the stock colour unless a separate white print layer is agreed.
Assess brand colours against the actual brown base rather than a white screen background.
Check dark text and simple logos for readability at final size.
Reserve an even contrasting area for a QR code and test the finished card with different phones.
Agree lamination, foil or a white layer as separate operations and confirm compatibility.
Verify recycled content or certification from documentation for the specific stock, not its brown appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does kraft affect colour?

The brown base contributes to the printed appearance, so a white-background preview does not establish the result. Check logo contrast and ask about a sample where needed.

Will a white logo in the file automatically print white?

No. A white area may remain unprinted stock. If actual white is required, identify a separate layer and confirm whether that process is available on the selected paper.

Can kraft carry a QR code?

Check contrast and the clear surrounding area on the actual stock. Assess size, texture and background together; choose a simpler layout or another base where needed.

Is kraft always recycled or certified?

No. Colour and texture do not establish either property. If it matters, request documentation for the specific stock and use only a supported claim.

What should I specify for price and quantity?

Provide size, quantity, sides, preferred stock and any white layer or finishing. Confirm the minimum quantity, material availability and timing in the quotation.
