Masking paper cannot completely replace kraft paper to resist cracking, but in some cases you can choose to use masking paper instead of kraft paper.
Characteristics of textured paper and kraft paper
Textured paper is a specially treated paper with a very smooth surface and obvious texture. It is mainly used for high-end gift packaging, book decoration, etc. Kraft paper is a kind of paper produced from natural unprocessed cowhide, which has strong toughness and durability. It is widely used in some packaging that requires high strength, waterproof, moisture-proof and tear-proof
Comparison between textured paper and kraft paper
1、In terms of crack resistance, kraft paper is more reliable than masking paper. Kraft paper has good toughness and can withstand force when stretched, while masking paper does not have this characteristic.
2、Kraft paper is also often better than textured paper in terms of strength, waterproofness, moisture resistance and tear resistance.
3、Masking paper, as a paper material, can replace kraft paper in some cases. For example, in light gift packaging, book customization, flower packaging, card making, etc., masking paper has become one of the mainstream materials.
4、Masking paper can not only present the appearance and texture of the product very well, but also is softer and easier to process than kraft paper.
In summary, masking paper and kraft paper each have their own advantages and disadvantages. As a paper material, masking paper can be used in some light product packaging, but kraft paper is still needed in some occasions where high durability is required. In actual application, it is necessary to select materials according to specific needs to achieve the best packaging effect.
