How to Choose Kraft Paper Envelope Bags

Kraft paper envelope bags, as an eco-friendly and practical packaging option, are widely used in scenarios such as document delivery and mailing small items. Guangdong Guowei Guanli New Materials Co., Ltd., as an expert in “paper-based alternatives to plastic” solutions, stands out with its envelope bag products in the kraft paper bags series, thanks to diverse manufacturing processes and customized services. When selecting, the following key points should be considered to match different usage requirements.

 

Material thickness and strength are fundamental considerations. The thickness of kraft paper envelope bags is typically measured by grammage. Bags with a grammage of 80-120g are suitable for lightweight documents, photos, etc., while those with a grammage of 150-200g are ideal for mailing samples, jewelry, and other slightly heavier items. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's kraft paper envelope bags are made from high-strength wood pulp, offering superior tear resistance compared to ordinary white paper bags. Combined with localized lamination treatment using the laminated bag process, this enhances moisture resistance, preventing documents from wrinkling when exposed to water. A certain e-commerce brand selected 180g kraft paper envelope bags for mailing jewelry, reducing damage rates by 60% compared to plastic envelopes.

​

Sealing methods should be tailored to the usage scenario. Self-adhesive kraft paper envelope bags are suitable for one-time sealing, offering durable adhesion and easy opening, making them ideal for business document transmission. For items requiring repeated opening and closing, options with buttons or zippers are recommended, suitable for storing small parts, stamps, and similar items. For moisture-sensitive items (such as seed samples or electronic components), we recommend sealed options with an inner composite film layer, which offers moisture protection comparable to aluminum foil bags but is lighter and more environmentally friendly.

Dimensions must precisely match the contents. Standard sizes (such as 16K or A4) are suitable for documents or magazines, while small envelopes (10×15cm) are ideal for small items like earrings or USB drives. Guangdong Guowei Guanli supports customization of non-standard sizes. A cultural and creative brand designed mini kraft paper envelopes for postcards, which reduced transportation space waste and lowered logistics costs by 15% due to their precise fit with the product dimensions. For mailing fragile items, honeycomb paper padded mailers can be used as outer packaging for dual protection, reducing carbon emissions by 40% compared to single-layer plastic packaging.

 

Additional features enhance usability. For displaying contents, transparent windowed kraft paper envelope bags allow quick identification of contents, suitable for library book lending or sample mailing; for privacy-sensitive items, plain kraft paper styles are more appropriate. For food samples (such as tea leaves or coffee beans), choose food-grade kraft paper envelope bags compliant with Food Packaging paper bag standards to ensure the material is non-toxic and harmless. A tea beverage brand used them to send sample packs, and customers reported a positive eco-friendly experience, with a 20% increase in repurchase rates.

 

The balance between environmental friendliness and cost should not be overlooked. Pure kraft paper envelope bags are 100% biodegradable, fully compliant with environmentally friendly packaging standards, and suitable for companies emphasizing a green image; if budget is limited, kraft paper combined with recycled paper can be chosen, reducing costs by approximately 10% while still meeting basic environmental requirements. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's large-scale production can further reduce customization costs. A company purchased 100,000 custom logo kraft paper envelope bags, with the unit price reduced by 18% compared to smaller batch purchases.

 

In summary, when selecting kraft paper envelope bags, it is essential to consider the characteristics of the contents, usage scenarios, and environmental requirements. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's diverse product range and customization services can precisely meet various needs, from daily office use to commercial mailing, helping users reduce costs while practicing green principles.
