Kraft liner is a paperboard made from 80% virgin kraft fibers, known for its strength, durability, and tear resistance. It is commonly used in packaging materials like corrugated cardboard, paper sacks, and shipping bags. The global market for kraft liners is expected to grow due to demand from food and retail industries for plastic-free packaging solutions, e-commerce growth, and the growing popularity of lightweight packaging with kraft lining. Governments are banning single-use plastics, leading to a shift towards paper and paperboard as the preferred packaging material. As online shopping increases, kraft liners are crucial for strong, durable packaging. Made from renewable wood pulp, they are biodegradable, recyclable, and have a lower carbon footprint than plastics. As companies and consumers prioritize eco-friendly packaging, demand for kraft liners is expected to rise. However, sulfate kraft pulping, a method of turning hardwoods into pulp, faces challenges due to fluctuating wood prices, high demand during the pandemic, and limited industry expansion.
